The HKBU Department of Economics provides a strong and vibrant environment for both research and studying, and focuses on successes for our students, alumni, and faculty.

Over the past years, we took substantive active steps to align students’ learning experience with in-demand competencies and skills. Undergraduates earn BBA (Hons) degree in the Economics and Data Analytics concentration. Postgraduate students can choose between MSc in Applied Economics and MSc Data Analytics and Business Economics. Their formal quantitative and data-analytical training gives them an edge in real business world and public policy contexts and serves as a direct stepping stone towards employment in data- or analytics-driven businesses, non-profits organizations, and government institutions.

We have a young and active faculty whose research outputs have appeared in prestigious academic journals such as American Economic Review, Econometrica, Quarterly Journal of Economics, Economic Journal, Journal of Development Economics, Journal of Economic Theory, Journal of Labor Economics, Journal of Public Economics, International Economic Review, Journal of Econometrics, etc.
