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.
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 four areas of study: Accounting and 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.

I have been a member of INOMICS community for over 8 years. I came across the platform when I was looking for a summer school in Europe to prepare myself for my Master’s studies, so I decided to give it a shot. As soon as I found my summer course on INOMICS (which I enjoyed a lot), I started to explore the website more and realized that I can also use it for finding great PhD programs, academic jobs, conferences and professional courses. I think it is the most complete source of information for students or career seekers in the field of economics. Gökhan, PhD Student in Economics at Ankara University
INOMICS has been quite useful, since information about courses, universities and scholarships is usually hard to access. This is especially true when it comes to the quantity of information one can obtain on INOMICS. I also know that I will be using it to find job postings at the end of this year when I go to the job market! Carolina, PhD Student in International Economics at Brandeis University

Research Interests: Choice and Decision Theory, Auctions, Information and Mechanism Design
Education: PhD, Northwestern University
Maria is a microeconomic theorist with interests in Choice and Decision Theory , Auctions , Information and Mechanism Design . She received her PhD in Economics from Northwestern University.
WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris said the inflation-battling agenda she spelled out on Friday is just the beginning of her economic plans that she'd try to turn into policy should she win the White House in November.
More detailed propoals to increase wages, help small business owners and fight poverty are still to come, the 2024 Democratic nominee for president suggested.
"In the weeks to come, I will address in greater detail my plans to build an opportunity economy," Harris said during an event in the 2024 battleground state of North Carolina.
Harris tailored her policy rollout to topics intended to help middle class Americans stretch their money further. Her proposals included a federal ban on price gouging of food and groceries and tax credits for new parents and lower-income workers.
Food, rent, gas, back to school clothes, prescription meds — it all adds up, she said.
"Today I will focus on one element that's on the minds of many Americans as they pay their bills at the kitchen table or walk the aisle of a grocery store . And that is lowering the cost of living ," Harris said in Raleigh.
Here are three takeaways from her speech:
Harris pledged that "by the end of my first term, we will end America's housing shortage" by building three million new affordable homes and rentals.
"And we will make sure that those homes actually go to working and middle class Americans , not just investors," she said.
Harris also said she would target artificially high rentals by fighting for a law that cracks down on the use of price-fixing software.
In one of the more detailed plans that Harris put forward on Friday, she said would offer up to $25,000 to first-time homebuyers to put toward down payments.
Harris said for most of her childhood, her mother Shyamala was a renter. Her mother saved for more than a decade, Harris said, to buy her first home.
"I grew up in a middle class household ," Harris declared on Friday.
It was one of several anecdotes Harris has shared to make the case that she understands the needs of voters.
Harris said she worked at McDonald's while she was in college. She did it for spending money, she said, but saw first-hand how hard it was for coworkers who were raising families on their paychecks and working multiple jobs.
Donald Trump 's campaign has labeled Harris' proposed price controls as "socialist" and argued that her pledge to punish businesses accused of breaking the rules are rooted in authoritarianism.
At her event on Friday, Harris hit back. She described Trump's proposed tariffs as a "national sales tax" on everyday goods that Americans import.
Harris said his plan would cost a typical family $3,900 a year, a statistic included in a report that was released this week by the liberal Center for American Progress.
"At this moment when everyday prices are too high, he will make them even higher," she said.
Trump had hammered Harris in a North Carolina speech of his own and at a Thursday news conference that served as a prebuttal to the debut of her economic plans.
But on Friday, as she sough to turn the tables, she said, "He offered no serious plans to reduce costs for middle class families. No plan to expand access to housing or healthcare."
"And that, I think actually for most of us was not surprising," Harris added.

It was a March afternoon in 2023 and I was waiting on the fifth floor of Evans Hall. I don’t remember what day of the week it was, or if it was sunny outside. I do remember eyeing the history of Berkeley Economics on display in front of me. “1875 – Bernard Moses is appointed Professor of History. He is the first faculty member to teach political economy on the Cal campus.” Thinking of the Economics department’s roots in political economy and history, I hummed. What are the odds? I mused. And then, considering my own departure from the Political Economy department in favor of an Economics major, I wondered, Am I doing the right thing?
I loved studying Political Economy, and switching majors in my sixth semester felt especially daunting. I’d have access to reserved seats in economics classes in my final year, and this was certainly a perk — but what about the ideas I had come to believe in so deeply, that institutions matter, and that people matter too? Going from Political Economy to Economics seemed a betrayal of some kind. It felt almost like an admission that there should exist some form of ‘pure,’ scientific version of economics unencumbered by political systems and realities.
Retrospectively, it shouldn’t have been surprising that the instatement of a political economy-loving Professor of History marked the beginning of Berkeley Economics. In hindsight, it has also become clear that my apprehension around taking up the major was unfounded. Berkeley’s department of economics has, at least in my experience, shown strong awareness of the institutional roots and deep complexity of how economics plays out in the real world — and the field’s propensity to downplay them. Jim Campbell — widely beloved and well known for his love of pinball, sneakers, and sushi — opens ECON 1 with a clear-eyed lecture on economics and the world. In it, he introduces the field as a whole. Most memorably to me, however, he grapples with economics as it is, neither simplifying nor sugarcoating but confronting ideas such as that all models are wrong, but some are useful. He discusses normative and positive economics, pointing out that subjective beliefs influence economic judgment. He acknowledges that tradeoffs can be difficult, but often must be made in a resource-scarce world.
