Applied Economics at Sichuan Agricultural University is a postgraduate program that focuses on applying economic theories and analytical methods to solve practical economic problems, particularly in regional development, finance, and industrial sectors. The discipline at the university has a long history, originating from the agricultural and animal husbandry economic management major established in 1979, and it later developed into a comprehensive Applied Economics master’s program.
The program provides students with a strong foundation in economic theory, econometrics, and data analysis while emphasizing practical applications in real-world economic issues. Key research areas include regional economics, finance (including insurance), and industrial economics, with particular attention to rural development, ecological economy, rural finance, industrial organization, and enterprise development. Through these fields, students learn to analyze economic policies, understand regional economic growth, and support sustainable development strategies.
Students typically study courses such as Intermediate Macroeconomics, Intermediate Microeconomics, Econometrics, Regional Economics, Industrial Economics, Monetary Economics, and Economic Statistics. These courses help develop analytical skills and the ability to conduct economic research and policy analysis.
Graduates of this program can pursue careers in government economic departments, financial institutions, research organizations, consulting firms, and universities, where they work as economists, policy analysts, financial analysts, or researchers contributing to economic planning and development.
