MS Applied Economics and Predictive Analysis

The Master of Science in Applied Economics and Predictive Analytics (MSAEPA) is a relatively new degree offered by the Department of Economics. Predictive Analytics refers to the process of building models that predict consumer behaviors under different circumstances, and help customize product offerings that better suit the tastes and preferences of consumers. It also refers to building models to predict time series variables of importance to businesses and governments like product sales and tax revenues, and to evaluate competing government programs and business strategies.
