Econometrics and statistics research from our PhD students and faculty is often featured in the pages of Chicago Booth Review.
In a recent paper by Chicago Booth’s Stefan Nagel and Dacheng Xiu and Booth PhD student Rui Da, findings suggest that there are limits to statistical arbitrage investment.
Three Chicago Booth researchers quantify the likelihood of machine learning leading business executives astray.
"If we understand why a black-box method works, we can trust it more with our decisions, explains [Booth's] Ročková, one of the researchers trying to narrow the gap between what’s done in practice and what’s known in theory. "
Booth’s Econometrics and Statistics group has been partnering with several (data science and interdisciplinary) research centers and institutes that facilitate the translation of research into practice.

Damian Kozbur, PhD ’14, says PhD students at Booth have the flexibility to work on risky problems that no one else has examined.
Video Transcript
Damian Kozbur, ’14: 00:01 I went to graduate school in order to develop econometrics tools in conjunction with machine-learning tools in conjunction with economic theory in order to do inference for economic parameters. When you work in high dimensional estimation and you're dealing with problems where the number of variables you're looking at can potentially be in the millions, there's no way to visualize what's going on. Demands now really require that you can handle huge datasets. There's something really satisfying about studying a problem and studying it well. I would say Booth is an excellent place to do it. You have the flexibility to work on really risky problems where you're trying to navigate this landscape that nobody's ever really looked at before. You have an opportunity to dig deeper. You have an opportunity to be rigorous. The faculty is there to help you. They're trying to figure out the same kinds of problems. Things that you figure out cannot always be visualized and it cannot always be easily understood. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's not practical or not useful.
Damian Kozbur, ’14: 01:08 There's an incredible explosion in terms of the amount of data we have on everything. There is an incredible explosion in terms of our understanding of high dimensional econometrics. If you're doing innovative work right now, it will have an impact.
PhD students in econometrics and statistics apply statistical methods to a wide range of business problems, from the effectiveness of machine-learning tools to video-game preferences. Our graduates go on to work in high-profile institutions, generally in academia, finance, or data science.

The Department of Statistics offers an exciting and recently revamped PhD program that involves students in cutting-edge interdisciplinary research in a wide variety of fields. Statistics has become a core component of research in the biological, physical, and social sciences, as well as in traditional computer science domains such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. The massive increase in the data acquired, through scientific measurement on one hand and through web-based collection on the other, makes the development of statistical analysis and prediction methodologies more relevant than ever.
Our graduate program prepares students to address these issues through rigorous training in scientific computation, and in the theory, methodology, and applications of statistics. The course work includes four core sequences:
All students must take the Applied Statistics and Theoretical Statistics sequence. In addition it is highly recommended that students take a third core sequence based on their interests and in consultation with the Department Graduate Advisor (DGA). At the start of their second year, the students take two preliminary examinations. All students must take the Applied Statistics Prelim. For the second the students can choose to take either the Theoretical Statistics or the Probability prelim. Students planning to take the Probability prelim should take the Probability sequence as their third sequence.
Incoming first-year students have the option of taking any or all of these exams; if an incoming student passes one or more of these, then he/she will be excused from the requirement of taking the first-year courses in that subject. During the second and subsequent years, students can take more advanced courses, and perform research, with world-class faculty in a wide variety of research areas .
In recent years, a large majority of our students complete the PhD within four or five years of entering the program. Students who have significant graduate training before entering the program can (and do) obtain their doctor's degree in three years.
Most students receiving a doctorate proceed to faculty or postdoctoral appointments in research universities. A substantial number take positions in government or industry, such as in research groups in the government labs, in communications, in commercial pharmaceutical companies, and in banking/financial institutions. The department has an excellent track record in placing new PhDs.
A student applying to the PhD program normally should have taken courses in advanced calculus, linear algebra, probability, and statistics. Additional courses in mathematics, especially a course in real analysis, will be helpful. Some facility with computer programming is expected. Students without background in all of these areas, however, should not be discouraged from applying, especially if they have a substantial background, through study or experience, in some area of science or other discipline involving quantitative reasoning and empirical investigation. Statistics is an empirical and interdisciplinary field, and a strong background in some area of potential application of statistics is a considerable asset. Indeed, a student's background in mathematics and in science or another quantitative discipline is more important than his or her background in statistics.
To obtain more information about applying, see the Guide For Applicants .

Doctoral program in statistics.
Program Requirements
Overview of the Doctoral Program in Statistics
The world’s financial markets produce an enormous stream of data, and the understanding of the techniques needed to analyze and extract information from this stream has become critical. Doctoral work in statistics combines theory and methodology to deal with the large quantity of statistical data. Here at Stern we use the theoretical and methodological orientation of a traditional statistics with a focus on the applications that are central to the concerns of a business school. The PhD thesis work at Stern is a mathematically sophisticated enterprise that never loses sight of the real and practical problems of business.
Stern’s curriculum in statistics prepares students for academic positions by preparing them to conduct independent research. The statistician must be knowledgeable of the basic issues of the intellectual areas in which his or her work will be applied.
The most popular areas of student interest in the last few years have been mathematical finance, statistical modeling, data mining, stochastic processes, and econometrics.
Students have rigorous course work and participate in special topics seminars. They work closely with the faculty and also present special PhD student seminars.
Clifford Hurvich Coordinator, Statistics Doctoral Program
Mission Our mission is the education of scholars who will produce first-rate statistics research and who will succeed as faculty members at first-rate universities.
Admissions and performance We enroll one or two students each year; these are chosen from approximately 100 highly qualified applicants.
Advising and evaluation Each student will meet with a committee of faculty members yearly to assess progress through the program.
Research and interaction with faculty The Stern statistics faculty have a wide range of interests, but there is special emphasis on time series, statistical modeling, stochastic processes, and financial modeling.
PhD students in statistics take courses in statistical inference, stochastic processes, time series, regression analysis, and multivariate analysis.
In addition to course work, doctoral students also participate in research projects in conjunction with faculty members. The students attend seminars, present seminars on their own work, and submit their work for publication.
The program culminates with the creation of the PhD thesis, through the stages of proposal, writing, and defense.
Most students finish in four to five years.
Statistics Program of Study
Statistics PhD students take their course work in the first two years of study. These courses are taken within the Statistics Group (both as formal courses and also as independent study), within other departments at the Stern School, at NYU's Courant Institute, and at Columbia University.
In addition to their statistics courses, doctoral students in Statistics often take courses in mathematics, finance, market research, and econometrics. The individual curriculum will be planned with the help of faculty advisers.

Our doctoral program in the field of economic analysis and policy prepares students for research careers in economics. The program offers rigorous training and has several distinct advantages:
First, enrollment in the program is small. This encourages close faculty-student contact and allows students to become involved in research very early. Students work first as assistants on faculty research projects and, as their interests and skills develop, on their own research. Students often begin their publishing careers before completing their degrees.
Second, the program is flexible and innovative; students can draw on both the school’s and the university’s distinguished faculty. In addition to the faculty in the economics group at Stanford GSB and in the university’s economics department, students have access to faculty in political and behavioral sciences; accounting and finance; mathematics, statistics, and computer science; and many other disciplines.
Third, the program is part of a top-ranked professional school. This setting allows students to gain a deeper understanding of the actual processes of business decision-making and public policy formulation.
Students who enroll in this program have a substantial background in economics and mathematics. They are expected to have, minimally, mathematical skills at the level of one year of advanced calculus and one course each in linear algebra, analysis, probability, optimization, and statistics.
The faculty selects students based on predicted performance in the program. Evidence of substantial background or ability in the use of mathematical reasoning and statistical methods is important. Most successful applicants had quantitative undergraduate majors in economics, mathematics, or related sciences.
In addition to evidence of ability and letters of recommendation, the faculty considers carefully the applicant’s statement of purpose for pursuing the PhD degree. The successful applicant usually has clearly defined career goals that are compatible with those of the program.
Acceptance into the program is extremely competitive. Admitted applicants compare very favorably with students enrolled in the top economics departments of major universities.

You must note, however, that while care has been taken to ensure that this information is up to date and correct, a change of circumstances since publication may cause the School to change, suspend or withdraw a course or programme of study, or change the fees that apply to it. The School will always notify the affected parties as early as practicably possible and propose any viable and relevant alternative options. Note that the School will neither be liable for information that after publication becomes inaccurate or irrelevant, nor for changing, suspending or withdrawing a course or programme of study due to events outside of its control, which includes but is not limited to a lack of demand for a course or programme of study, industrial action, fire, flood or other environmental or physical damage to premises.
You must also note that places are limited on some courses and/or subject to specific entry requirements. The School cannot therefore guarantee you a place. Please note that changes to programmes and courses can sometimes occur after you have accepted your offer of a place. These changes are normally made in light of developments in the discipline or path-breaking research, or on the basis of student feedback. Changes can take the form of altered course content, teaching formats or assessment modes. Any such changes are intended to enhance the student learning experience. You should visit the School’s Calendar , or contact the relevant academic department, for information on the availability and/or content of courses and programmes of study. Certain substantive changes will be listed on the updated graduate course and programme information page.
Supervision.
You will be assigned a lead supervisor (and a second supervisor/adviser) who is a specialist in your chosen research field, though not necessarily in your topic. Lead supervisors guide you through your studies.
You may wish to first send an informal application email to the Department of Statistics to enquire about making a formal application within the area of your research interests and to check about the availability of potential supervisors.
Formal assessment is made towards the end of each Spring Term. This assessment is based on statements made by you and the supervisors in the progress report form. You are also required to complete a supplementary report of one to two pages (A4), providing in more detail an outline of your current research.
The review to upgrade to the PhD normally takes place within two years of full-time registration. Progress is assessed by the first and/or second supervisor in consultation with the PhD programme director and another expert in the field of the research you are undertaking. If satisfactory progress has been made, the programme director will recommend that registration be upgraded to PhD status. The Department's research committee also monitors the progress of PhD students.

Damian Kozbur, PhD ’14, says PhD students at Booth have the flexibility to work on risky problems that no one else has examined.
Video Transcript
Damian Kozbur, ’14: 00:01 I went to graduate school in order to develop econometrics tools in conjunction with machine-learning tools in conjunction with economic theory in order to do inference for economic parameters. When you work in high dimensional estimation and you're dealing with problems where the number of variables you're looking at can potentially be in the millions, there's no way to visualize what's going on. Demands now really require that you can handle huge datasets. There's something really satisfying about studying a problem and studying it well. I would say Booth is an excellent place to do it. You have the flexibility to work on really risky problems where you're trying to navigate this landscape that nobody's ever really looked at before. You have an opportunity to dig deeper. You have an opportunity to be rigorous. The faculty is there to help you. They're trying to figure out the same kinds of problems. Things that you figure out cannot always be visualized and it cannot always be easily understood. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's not practical or not useful.
Damian Kozbur, ’14: 01:08 There's an incredible explosion in terms of the amount of data we have on everything. There is an incredible explosion in terms of our understanding of high dimensional econometrics. If you're doing innovative work right now, it will have an impact.
PhD students in econometrics and statistics apply statistical methods to a wide range of business problems, from the effectiveness of machine-learning tools to video-game preferences. Our graduates go on to work in high-profile institutions, generally in academia, finance, or data science.

PhD in Economics, Statistics and Data Science
The four-year PhD in Economics, Statistics and Data Science (ECOSTATDATA) provides the most effective response to the important challenges which nowadays doctoral programmes in the areas of economics, statistics and data analytics, both in Italy and Europe, have to cope with: i) high qualification of the faculty, in terms of teaching abilities and publication records; ii) capability of attracting high quality students; iii) interdisciplinarity; iv) internationalization; v) relations with the non-academic job market; vi) placement of students who have successfully discussed their dissertations.
ECOSTATDATA builds upon the fruitful collaboration among economists, statisticians and data scientists from the Department of Economics, Management and Statistics (DEMS) and the Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods of the University of Milano-Bicocca (UniMiB), which has started twenty years ago within the BSc in Statistics and Economics, as well as the MSc in Statistics and Economics and is going on with the more recent MSc in Data Science.

Introduction.
ECOSTATDATA belongs to the PhD School of UniMiB, it is affiliated to DEMS, it lasts four years and it is articulated in three curricula, the original two curricula Economics (ECO) and Statistics (STAT), and, starting from cycle XXXVII (academic year 2021-2022), the “new” curriculum Big Data & Analytics for Business (BiDAB) .
The first-year teaching activities are mainly devoted to structured courses (tool courses), which are compulsory. Some of these courses are fixed and specific to each curriculum, some are in common between the three curricula, some other courses are chosen by students within each curriculum.
The second-year teaching activities take the form of less structured courses (elective courses or reading groups).
In general, the first-year courses are offered by “internal” teachers, while second-year courses are often open to the collaboration of foreign instructors (visiting scholars).
The curriculum Economics (ECO)
This curriculum is indicated to students with a strong background in quantitative economics and provides advanced training in econometrics, microeconometrics, time series analysis, microeconomics and macroeconomics.
The curriculum Statistics (STAT)
This curriculum is designed for students with a strong background in statistics, both methodological and applied , and provides advanced training in probability, stochastic processes, statistical inference, Bayesian statistics, statistical learning, statistical modelling, computational statistics and data analysis.
The “new” curriculum Big Data & Analytics for Business (BiDAB)
This curriculum starts from cycle XXXVII (academic year 2021-2022) , and provides students with rigorous training in data management and programming, with focus on: the analysis of large amounts of structured and unstructured data (natural language); the main paradigms of big data and data visualization, based on the use of innovative techniques of machine learning, text and web mining.
By means of appropriate sequences of courses, suggested and monitored by the Programme Committee and the supervisors, students are able to build up “flexible” profiles, which are mainly addressed to scientific research, both in universities or in non-academic institutions, at national or international level.
ECOSTATDATA facilitates the interaction between economic, statistical and data management skills by proposing innovative “training” profiles, which are mainly addressed to the non-academic job market. The “training” profiles aim at:
The current length of many PhD programmes in economics, statistics and data science in Italy, including the PhD in Economics DEFAP-Bicocca and in Statistics and Mathematical Finance of UniMiB, is three years. This length is insufficient to guarantee that the PhD theses meet the quality standards achieved by the best European PhD programmes. For this reason, ECOSTATDATA lasts four years . This duration is in line with the recent choices of some of the best Italian PhD programmes in economics, statistics and data science, as well as the PhD programmes in this area offered by the most prestigious European academic institutions.
ECOSTATDATA fosters interdisciplinary research activities, by favouring co-tutorships between economists, statisticians and data scientists, as well as through the “flexible” and “training” profiles.
ECOSTATDATA is particularly active in collaborating with national, multi-national, high-quality and innovation-oriented companies. In particular, ECOSTATDATA is able to: i) offer high-level skills which are not currently available on the non-academic job market; ii) attract students who are interested in ECOSTATDATA as a way to gain new and advanced skills to be immediately spent into that segment of the job market which is not academically- or research-oriented; iii) elicit the collaboration of high-quality national multi-national companies, which are active in human capital investment and are ready to use the modern instruments of the executive doctorate, the apprenticeship contracts as well as the direct financing of PhD scholarships on specific research projects.
The international experience which has flourished within the PhD in Economics DEFAP-Bicocca and the PhD in Statistics and Mathematical Finance of UniMiB, together with the professional networks developed by many faculty members, guarantees that ECOSTATDATA is particularly active in collaborating with prestigious foreign universities, in terms of both students and faculty members exchange programs and joint degrees.
ECOSTATDATA is managed by two bodies:
The teaching activities proposed by ECOSTATDATA are organized during the first two years and differ for each curriculum, although some courses are common. Some economics courses at the first and the second year within the curriculum Economics can be offered jointly with the PhD programme in Economics and Finance of the Catholic University of Milano.
Mathematics; Computational Statistics I; Econometrics; Microeconometrics; Time Series Analysis; Microeconomics; Macroeconomics; Research Methods; Finance.
Mathematical Analysis, Numerical Optimization, Probability, Stochastic Processes, Bayesian Statistics, Statistical Inference, Statistical Learning, Computational statistics II, Statistical Modelling, R for Data Science, Data Management.
Databases for Structured/Unstructured Data (SQL); Programming in Python; Data Quality and Cleaning for Big Data; Architecture for Big Data Processing; Machine Learning; Cloud & Distributed Algorithm; Data Mining; Natural Language processing and Understanding; Human-Centered AI; Social Media Analysis; Semantic Web; Deep Learning and Computer Vision for Business; Data Visualization & Visual Analysis.
Second-year courses are mainly “reading groups”, that are built upon the research interests of both instructors and students, and are articulated into one/two introductory lecture/s and a series of meetings where students critically discuss the readings assigned by the instructor during the initial lecture.
The second-year courses are generally offered during the first part of the second year, in order forstudents to be full-time dedicated to their dissertations as early as possible.
Within each curriculum, a careful selection of courses, monitored by the PC and the student’s supervisor, allows each student to identify a “flexible” profile, which coherent with his/her research interests.
Generally, structured courses have written exams, while the exams associated with the reading groups are more flexible (e.g. written projects and/or oral presentations). The organization of the exams (i.e. form, number of questions, etc.) is decided by the PC and communicated to students at the beginning of each course.
The PC runs every year a systematic evaluation of the quality of the courses offered by the PhD programme, by submitting to each student of a given course a detailed questionnaire. Data from the questionnaires are elaborated statistically, sent to each instructor, and discussed within the PC, in order to identify potential problems and solutions.
Admission to the second year is based on the performance of each student in the first-year exams, including the number of “fail” and the number of “resits” each student has been given. Admissions to the third and the fourth years are based on the progresses of the research work. Rules on admission to the second and subsequent years, as well as all the other rules regulating the teaching and research activities of ECOSTAT are formalized by the PC and communicated to each student after enrollment.
The Programme Committee (PC) approves the (minimum) number of papers which form a typical PhD dissertation, namely 2. These papers have to be self-contained, independent and potentially publishable on high-quality internationally refereed journals.
Supervision
In order to facilitate students in identifying a sound research project and a suitable supervisor, within the first part of the year the PC organizes a presentation of the research groups which are active among the PC and the Advisory Board (AB) members. Supervisors are asked to systematically monitor the progresses made by their supervisees and periodically report to the PC about the proceedings of their dissertations.
PhD students, especially from the second year, are strongly invited to attend the department seminars organized on a weekly basis at UniMiB. Students of both curricula are also invited to present the progress of their research work in specific seminars, which are part of the student’s evaluation process and, if possible, are jointly organized in order to enhance cross-fertilization between economists, statisticians and data scientists.
Admission to third and fourth year
Admission to the third and fourth year is formalized by the PC, based on the evaluation of the student’s research work. Admission to the third year takes also into account the performance of each student in the second-year exams.
Admission to external evaluation
Fourth-year students should present, by the end of the year, the final version of their dissertation in front of the PC. If possible, each presentation will be assigned a discussant. The admission to the external reviewers is formalized by the PC, based on the overall evaluation of the PhD thesis.
Based on the reports of the external reviewers, students are admitted to the discussion in front of the Evaluation Committee either with minor or major revisions. Students who have successfully defended their dissertation are awarded by the Evaluation Committee the title of “PhD in Economics and Statistics” (students enrolled in cycles XXXIV, XXXV and XXXVI) or the title of “PhD in Economics, Statistics and Data Science” (students enrolled from cycle XXXVII). Students can request to (and obtain from) the Administrative Offices of UniMiB an official document reporting the specific curriculum they have been enrolled in.
ECOSTATDATA takes care of the optimal placement of its students.
