Curriculum of M. A. Actuarial Economics

The post-graduate degree in actuarial economics is a two-year intensive
course, providing necessary training needed for an expert in actuarial field
who analyzes the financial consequences of risk. Such experts can work, apart
from education and research, in insurance companies, consulting/investment
firms, credit rating agencies, government, and employee benefit department
of large corporations, hospitals, and banks. The work profile includes (i)
research and training, (ii) designing insurance and pension plans, (iii)
determining insurance pricing, and (iv) asset-liability management.
The course is divided into four semesters In the first semester there
will be four core courses and the second semester comprises five courses. In
the second year, the third semester comprises two core papers and three
elective papers. In the fourth semester there will two core courses and two
electives. There is an option to do dissertation instead of two electives in the
fourth semester for those who qualify certain criteria. All Core and elective
courses are worth 4 credits each and the progamme carries 72 credits in total.
This programme is designed keeping in view the increasing demand
for actuarial economists. Hence, it is designed essentially to deal with the
education of economics of insurance, insurance risk, and financial
management. In the process, the course draws inputs from mathematical,
statistical, and economic analysis involving a wide range of decision-making
process in insurance, investment, and financial planning and management.
Being designed to equip the learners with the underlying processes of
decision making under uncertainty, this programme seeks to offer in the first
year, comprising two semesters, an intensive training in understanding
economic and financial theories, which are useful to study the uncertain future
events and will sufficiently cover the latest syllabi prescribed for the Core
Technical stage by the Actuarial Society of India (ASI). The third and the
fourth semesters attempt to provide the opportunity to the students to opt for
electives from the number of choices including applied econometrics. In
addition, this program provides a valuable opportunity to the students to (i)
equip their computation skills by learning econometric applications using
softwares (such as EVIEWS and STATA) and (ii) undertake a dissertation in
the second year to encourage active learning in a real life situation.

Curriculum of M.A. Applied Quantitative Finance

Recent advances in statistical, econometric and analytical modeling have vastly
improved our understanding of financial market dynamics. Our ability to
adequately capture stylized facts in financial markets depends crucially on the
development of good models, the estimation of the developed models and
their evaluations. Consequently, there has been an exponential increase in the
demand for qualified analysts. With this view, Madras School of Economics
jointly with Central University of Tamil Nadu has introduced a two-year postgraduate degree course in Applied Quantitative Finance. The course is geared
towards presenting the central concepts in clear, analytical, mathematical and
computational detail with an emphasis on the underlying intuition. In addition,
Business Case Study would be provided wherever it is necessary. The intended
participants consists of students who have an interest in equity research, retail
and investment banking, risk management, as well as derivative markets. All
the courses in this program are application oriented and very relevant for
today's liberalized economic environment. There is also an emphasis on
independent research. Students are required to do term papers in most of the
courses and each student undertakes a significant research project during the
second year. Interested students take up a summer internship programme at
the end of the first year, which greatly helps them to get an orientation in
applied work.
The course is divided into four semesters In the first semester there
will be four core courses and the second semester comprises five courses. In
the second year, the third semester comprises two core papers and three
elective papers. In the fourth semester there will two core courses and two
electives. There is an option to do dissertation instead of two electives in the

Curriculum of M. A. Environmental Economics

Concerns about over-exploitation of resources and degradation of
environment have been on rise in India and other countries over the past fifty
years. High economic growth often comes at the cost of environmental
degradation as seen in several countries and hence careful attention to sound
environmental policies is extremely important if India were to follow
sustainable development path. Environmental and resource policies must be
based on economic rationale. Growing evidence on trade-environmental interlinkages and potential challenges that the world economies have to face due
to global climate change provide additional motivations for studying
environmental economics. Businesses world over have started understanding
the importance of doing green business. The post graduate programme in
Environmental Economics (EE) is introduced against this backdrop.
The objective of the M.A. program in Environmental Economics is to
provide students with rigorous and specialist training in economics of the
environment. The degree is designed for individuals with a strong background
in mathematics and good exposure to basic economics. On completion of the
Masters degree all students will have well developed skills in quantitative
analysis and modeling and an understanding of the economic approaches to
resolve the challenges of resource over-exploitation and misuse of the
environment.
M.A. in Environmental Economics is a two-year intensive course,
providing necessary training needed for a well-qualified environmental
economist. The course is divided into four semesters In the first semester
there will be four core courses and the second semester comprises five
courses. In the second year, the third semester comprises two core papers
and three elective papers. In the fourth semester there will two core courses
and two electives. There is an option to do dissertation instead of two
electives in the fourth semester for those who qualify certain criteria. All Core
and elective courses are worth 4 credits each and the progamme carries 72
credits in total.
Almost all courses are analytical in nature involving application of
mathematical, statistical, and econometric analyses. In addition, this program
provides a valuable opportunity to the students to (i) enhance their
computational skills through hands-on experience in using econometric softwares (such as SAS, EVIEWS and STATA), Geographical Information Systems;
and (ii) undertake a dissertation in the final semester to apply the acquired
knowledge to a real life problem.
