專業(yè)概況

在這里學(xué)什么？

An MS program that combines a masters in economics with a core data science curriculum. Work with globally recognized faculty from the Department of Economics and the Spatial Sciences Institute in the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences to identify business opportunities and address public policy challenges using location-based Big Data with insights from geographic information science (GIS), urban economics, and spatial econometrics.

WHAT MAKES THIS PROGRAM UNIQUE FROM A MASTERS IN ECONOMICS?

In this rigorous quantitative curriculum, students will learn to apply economic theory to real world problems, thereby synthesizing data and abstract theories into real-world action.

For example, many cities suffer from extreme traffic congestion at certain locations at peak demand times. Using geo-coded road sensors, students can map the spatial patterns in traffic congestion by city, day of the week, and time of day. Building upon urban economics and econometrics principles and skills, students will learn to implement field experiments to test whether a given congestion charge (such as charging drivers $6 from 4 pm to 7 pm) would be effective at reducing traffic congestion.

As spatial Big Data grows in availability and in significance, so too are the market opportunities growing for professionals who can convert this kind of real-time spatial and economic analysis into recommendations in the areas of their choice.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

Professionals with masters in economics and spatial data analysis education can bring new insights in emerging business opportunities, environmental trends, urban crime, congestion trends, real estate valuation, technology diffusion, and countless other commercial and social applications around the world.

Through internships, guest speakers, industry meet-ups, and other career development opportunities, students will build a professional network in Big Data industries and startups. The global geospatial industry is expected to grow at a 13.6% compound annual growth rate between 2017-2020 to reach US $440 billion in 2020.
