The First Two Years

Regular guidance through contact with faculty advisors is an essential component of doctoral education. Students should maintain close contact with their official advisor(s) throughout their enrollment in the program.  Students are encouraged to develop informal advising relationships with several faculty members in addition to their official advisor.  

The First-year advisor provides assistance during the initial stages of the program, but do not necessarily advise the student throughout their studies. During the second year of the program, students are matched with advisors based on their research interests. As students familiarize themselves with program faculty during coursework, research work, seminars/workshops, and other activities, they may change their official advisor(s) as their academic and research interests develop.  

The following required courses are completed during the first year of the program: Core macro and micro series: Econ2010a, 2010b, 2010c, 2010d; Quantitative Economics: Econ2120 and Econ2140; and the distribution requirement. 

During the G2 year, students designate two fields of interest and complete two approved courses in each of the two fields.  

Year Three and Beyond

As a G3, students enroll in a Research Preparatory course and complete a research paper (Econ3000) under the guidance of their faculty advisor.   

Graduate Student Workshops

Students are required to begin presenting in a Graduate Student Workshop during the Spring semester of the third year. Students continue to attend and present in at least one workshop each semester.  

Graduate students are expected to teach during their careers at Harvard, usually beginning in year three of the program. First-time teaching fellows must participate in at least one Bok Center Teaching Conference. Students in their third and fourth years have priority for teaching fellowship appointments. 

Research Proposal

Students are required to present and submit their research ideas to a committee comprising of at least two faculty members. The committee will provide feedback and decide if the student is making satisfactory progress toward the degree. Students will receive coordinated advice from faculty regarding their progress and be given detailed recommendations for future research plans, particularly with respect to possible job market paper and dissertation.  

The Dissertation

The student selects a faculty dissertation committee consisting of three members of the Harvard faculty; two of whom must be members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Under the dissertation committee’s advisorship, the student will proceed to complete the dissertation research. The dissertation should demonstrate the candidate’s ability to perform original research that develops in a scholarly way and is a significant contribution to the knowledge and understanding in the chosen special field. For the student to meet the requirement, analysis and evaluation of relevant data must yield significant and independent conclusions.

Ph.D. Programs

The Harvard Environmental Economics Program (HEEP) does not grant degrees. Rather, students pursue a Ph.D. degree in Economics, Business Economics, Business Administration, Political Economy and Government, Public Policy, or Health Policy. Those whose dissertation interests focus on environmental and natural resource economics are invited to become Pre-Doctoral Fellows of HEEP.

If you are interested in pursuing a Ph.D. degree at Harvard focused on environmental economics, we encourage you to contact one or more of the following doctoral programs directly.

The Economics Ph.D.  program is the most traditional route for students interested in environmental economics. It is recommended for those applicants who wish to pursue an academic career in an economics department. It is one possible path for students who desire academic positions in professional schools or research positions in national or international agencies and research centers. The program is based in Harvard University’s Department of Economics in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. For general information about the Department, see its website . The Doctoral Program—including admissions requirements— is described here .

Business Economics

The Business Economics Ph.D.  program is offered jointly by the Department of Economics , in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and Harvard Business School, and combines economic analysis with practical aspects of business. This degree is primarily intended to prepare students for careers in research and teaching in business administration and related fields of economics. The general management approach of the Harvard Business School is an important ingredient in the program. For more information on the Business Economics program and for admissions requirements, please see the  Business Economics website.

Health Policy

The Health Policy Ph.D.  program is co-sponsored by the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the Kennedy School of Government, the Harvard Medical School, and the Harvard School of Public Health. Students interested in environmental economics should consider the “Economics” track of the program. This program is recommended for students with a particular interest in the intersection of health and environmental policy and who desire academic and/or research careers in health policy. For more information on the Health Policy program and for admissions requirements please see the Health Policy website.

Political Economy and Government

The Political Economy and Government  (PEG) program is co-sponsored by the  Department of Economics and the  Department of Government in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences —and the Harvard Kennedy School . The PEG program is appropriate for the select group of students whose breadth of academic interests is not well served by doctoral studies confined to economics, political science, or public policy. The program is recommended for students whose research interests span the intersection of economics and political science and who desire academic careers in professional schools or research careers with national or international agencies and research centers. For more information on the PEG program and for admissions requirements, please see the program’s web page.  

Public Policy

The Ph.D. in Public Policy  is granted by the  Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and administered by the Harvard Kennedy School . This program is recommended for students who are interested in environmental economics as applied to the policy world and whose career goals include academic careers in professional schools, research positions in national or international agencies and research centers, or professional positions of various kinds in policy organizations. For more information on the Public Policy program and for admissions requirements and materials please see the program’s web site.

Harvard Ph.D. Program in Health Policy

Concentration Chairs:    Timothy J. Layton  and Mark Shepard

Students in the economics concentration can expect to gain skills in the theoretical and empirical tools of economics, including applied econometrics and the application of economic theory to policy problems. Examples of the type of research they pursue includes economic evaluation of the consequences of healthcare policies for equity and efficiency, conceptual and empirical work identifying and quantifying the welfare and distributional consequences of market failures in healthcare, assessments of the effects of market structure and the industrial organization of healthcare on costs and quality of care, work studying the optimal design of social programs, work studying the determinants of changes in population-level and group-specific health and wellbeing, work focusing on the effects of policies and markets on innovation and the diffusion of medical technologies, assessments of the role of behavioral frictions in determining patient and provider behavior, etc. After they graduate, these students often work in academia, government, think tanks, and industry. Important differences between this concentration and other tracks are (1) the math background that is required, (2) the focus on economic theory and quasi-experimental empirical methods and (3) the focus on research that seeks to answer very general questions about the organization of the healthcare system rather than narrower, more focused policy evaluations.

Students in our PhD programs are encouraged from day one to think of this experience as their first job in business academia—a training ground for a challenging and rewarding career generating rigorous, relevant research that influences practice.

Our doctoral students work with faculty and access resources throughout HBS and Harvard University. The PhD program curriculum requires coursework at HBS and other Harvard discipline departments, and with HBS and Harvard faculty on advisory committees. Faculty throughout Harvard guide the programs through their participation on advisory committees.

How do I know which program is right for me?

There are many paths, but we are one HBS. Our PhD students draw on diverse personal and professional backgrounds to pursue an ever-expanding range of research topics. Explore more here about each program’s requirements & curriculum, read student profiles for each discipline as well as student research , and placement information.

The PhD in Business Administration grounds students in the disciplinary theories and research methods that form the foundation of an academic career. Jointly administered by HBS and GSAS, the program has five areas of study: Accounting and Management , Management , Marketing , Strategy , and Technology and Operations Management . All areas of study involve roughly two years of coursework culminating in a field exam. The remaining years of the program are spent conducting independent research, working on co-authored publications, and writing the dissertation. Students join these programs from a wide range of backgrounds, from consulting to engineering. Many applicants possess liberal arts degrees, as there is not a requirement to possess a business degree before joining the program

The PhD in Business Economics provides students the opportunity to study in both Harvard’s world-class Economics Department and Harvard Business School. Throughout the program, coursework includes exploration of microeconomic theory, macroeconomic theory, probability and statistics, and econometrics. While some students join the Business Economics program directly from undergraduate or masters programs, others have worked in economic consulting firms or as research assistants at universities or intergovernmental organizations.

The PhD program in Health Policy (Management) is rooted in data-driven research on the managerial, operational, and strategic issues facing a wide range of organizations. Coursework includes the study of microeconomic theory, management, research methods, and statistics. The backgrounds of students in this program are quite varied, with some coming from public health or the healthcare industry, while others arrive at the program with a background in disciplinary research

The PhD program in Organizational Behavior offers two tracks: either a micro or macro approach. In the micro track, students focus on the study of interpersonal relationships within organizations and the effects that groups have on individuals. Students in the macro track use sociological methods to examine organizations, groups, and markets as a whole, including topics such as the influence of individuals on organizational change, or the relationship between social missions and financial objectives. Jointly administered by HBS and GSAS, the program includes core disciplinary training in sociology or psychology, as well as additional coursework in organizational behavior.

Navigating Education Policy and Human Development with Professor Emiliana Vegas

By Mohammad Usama Khawar

In CID's latest Road to GEM podcast, we explore the complex interplay between education policy and human development in developing economies, through the seasoned perspective of CID Faculty Affiliate Emiliana Vegas , a prominent figure in international development who focuses her research on education economics. Professor Vegas' career trajectory, from advocating for micro-inputs to championing comprehensive support systems, reveals the evolving nature of education reform and its implications on a global scale.

Throughout the conversation, Professor Vegas highlights the unique challenges faced by the education sector in developing economies. She points out that international development efforts often fail to appreciate the socio-political and cultural dimensions of these regions, leading to less effective interventions. The discussion delves into the critical role of contextual understanding and collaboration with local leaders to design education policies that are not only effective, but also culturally relevant and sustainable.

Localized Solutions and International Development

During the conversation, Professor Vegas expresses reservations about the top-down approaches historically favored by international organizations, advocating instead for a more localized and responsive strategy. She emphasizes how important it is for international development agencies to understand the intricacies of the environments they aim to help. By aligning technical solutions with local values and political realities, these organizations can significantly increase their impact. 

The necessity for international agencies to work closely with on-the-ground actors is a recurring theme. Professor Vegas shares insights from her own experiences, particularly her work with the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, where she practiced a consultative approach that respected local expertise and prioritized community involvement in policy-making.

Empowering Through Understanding and Collaboration

A central part of our discussion was the importance of empowering local communities to take charge of their educational reforms. Professor Vegas stresses the need for 'epistemic humility'—recognizing the limits of external knowledge and valuing local insights. This approach is vital for cultivating fruitful collaborations between international bodies and local governments, ensuring that interventions are both effective and respectful of local conditions. Professor Vegas shares, "we have to do a better job at changing mindsets and recognizing that there is no one-size solution that works everywhere."

As the conversation moved towards the future, Professor Vegas articulates a compelling vision for gender equity in education. She argues for proactive efforts to address the educational needs of girls, which not only benefit the individuals but also have profound societal impacts, enhancing well-being and economic development across generations.

Evaluating nutrition policies to reduce inequities

Matt Lee, PhD ’24, balanced his academic work studying the links between diet and population health with a side gig playing with a local orchestra.

May 20, 2024 — Matt Lee first started thinking seriously about food policy as an undergraduate volunteer at the University of California, Berkeley’s student-run Suitcase Clinic, where he helped procure unsold food from farmers’ markets to turn into free meals for low-income community members. While the work was important for improving the diets and food security of individual clients, it left Lee, a public health major, wanting to learn more about ways to address nutrition at a broader population level.

His search ultimately led him to study public health nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, focusing on topics including the cost-effectiveness of nutrition policies, diet quality during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the health impacts of sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) excise taxes. This month Lee graduates with a PhD in Population Health Sciences from the Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin School of Arts and Sciences.

A problem solver

As a kid growing up in the Sacramento, California area, Lee thought he wanted to be a doctor. But several work experiences in college shadowing physicians made him realize that clinical medicine wouldn’t be a good fit. “Problem solving was the aspect of science I really enjoyed, and I could find that in public health research.”

For his PhD dissertation, Lee looked at different mechanisms for improving diet, population health, and health equity in the U.S. In the first of three papers he co-authored based on his research, he found that following the enactment of Philadelphia’s 2017 SSB tax, which added a tax of $0.015 cents per ounce on SSBs and artificially sweetened drinks, beverage advertising increased at small, independent markets in low-income neighborhoods in the area. As a result, some of the tax’s effect on purchasing behaviors may have been dampened. The findings suggest that simply passing an SSB tax isn’t enough to dissuade people from buying unhealthy drinks, Lee said. Additional regulations may be needed, particularly around advertising aimed at children.

Lee’s other two papers, which have not yet been published, examined links between adherence to U.S. dietary guidelines and changes in BMI among kids in the Growing Up Today Study , one of the School’s large study cohorts; and compared the diets of Chelsea, Mass., residents who received $400 monthly payments during the pandemic with those who didn’t.

The Chelsea study delves into an area not common in nutrition studies: universal basic income—a type of social welfare program in which people are given a set amount of unrestricted money on a regular basis by the government. These programs are not typically targeted at addressing nutrition or food security, but evidence suggests that they can provide benefits, Lee said. He added, “It would be interesting to see if there are other policies that we don’t typically conceive of as health programs that have impact on health.”

Collaboration across disciplines

The chance to explore research questions beyond departmental silos was one of the reasons why Lee came to Harvard Chan School. “I knew I’d have opportunities to do research collaboratively across disciplines, because people here are connected to other departments in such a seamless way,” he said, noting that he’s been able to tap into expertise in social and behavioral sciences and biostatistics, and also incorporate tools from policy analysis and economics into his work through partnerships with the Kennedy School.

“Matt combines a creative and brilliant mind with a deep commitment to improving public health and addressing injustice, and a unique ability to knit together interdisciplinary approaches to using science to solve some of society’s biggest public health challenges,” said his advisor Erica Kenney , assistant professor of public health nutrition. “Not only has he led some truly innovative studies of how policies impact diet quality, cardiometabolic health, and social inequities, he’s also helped to teach and mentor other students, taking a really kind and collaborative approach to his work.”

Lee’s coming away from his experience at the School with a love for teaching and mentoring, he said. In Kenney, he observed a scientist who cares deeply about her mentees and thinks about how to train the next generation of researchers. He’s come to see that “your identity as a scientist is not just your research, but also what you bring to the table—your experiences, perspectives, and how you view the world.”

For Lee, one way of finding balance has long been through music. He’s a classical oboe and English horn player, and performed in the Longwood Symphony Orchestra while earning his degree. “I do a lot of staring at a computer screen, crunching numbers and analyzing data,” he said. “Music exercises a very different part of my brain. It’s a way to feel a little bit freer and more intuitive.”

After graduation, Lee will be back at Harvard Chan School as a postdoctoral researcher, working with Rita Hamad , assistant professor of social and behavioral sciences, on the links between social policies and cardiometabolic health. After that, he said he hopes to continue pursuing a career in nutrition research, either in academia or another setting.
