Doctorate in Economics

The doctoral program in economics at Rice University trains students to conduct first-rate research. All major areas of economics are covered, with particular strengths in theoretical, applied, and empirical microeconomics as well as econometrics. Our curriculum stresses the grounding of any model in theory ensuring that, even in applied work, theoretical assumptions are clearly specified in place of an "intuitive" plausibility. This approach promotes an open discussion of their appropriateness and their implications for results. Graduates of our program go on to obtain positions at universities, research institutions, government agencies, and private firms around the world.

The PhD program is designed to first provide students with a rigorous training in economic theory and econometrics. Students then apply this knowledge to produce original research in a variety of applied, theoretical, and empirical settings. The department encourages independent work by emphasizing early exposure to the frontier of research through seminars and lectures , formal and informal workshops, and student papers. Seminars and workshops involving select faculty and graduate students meet on a regular basis to expose students to a variety of specialized literatures and cutting-edge ideas and methods.

In 2014, the department launched the Rice Initiative for the Study of Economics (RISE) , which has increased the prominence of Rice University as a leading center of economics research. Since then, the department has hired ten new faculty members. The department is now a leading center for structural empirical microeconomics, an approach to economic analysis that combines economic theory and econometrics to address substantive economic issues. The department has also recently partnered with the Jones School of Business to offer a Major Concentration in Finance that recognizes the complementarities and shared research interests.

The retooled program adds intensive specialized coursework to the standard core requirements in order to prepare students to conduct innovative original research. The program provides a thorough training in economic theory and econometrics in its first two years to provide a solid foundation for the independent research and further specialization that occupies the student's time thereafter. In particular, the first year emphasizes coursework in financial economics as well as in computational economics which provides students with an understanding of the numerical methods used in modern empirical microeconomic research.

Houston restaurant weeks: indulge in the gourmet meals at fine-dining restaurants with discounted prices while helping the community, by rui liu. do not miss this biggest foodie event in houston.

Entree Fondue from Melting Pot 

Well known for its diverse and delicious food, Houston is the place to host the huge foodie event in 2024, Houston Restaurant Weeks (HRW). Running from August 1st to September 2nd annually, this event features the city’s most popular fine-dining restaurants. 

Now, don’t be scared by the word fine-dining. It does not necessarily mean garish dishes with ridiculous prices, especially during Houston Restaurant Weeks. The participating restaurants will serve specially priced, multi-course prix fixe menus. The price for brunch or lunch is $25, and dinner is either $39 or $55. If you compare the HRW menus with the original menus from HRW restaurants, you could easily find out that most of the prices are 20-40% off. Some restaurants also provide the option to take out.

Another perk of HRW is that it benefits not only the foodies, but the wider Houston community. Besides being the promotion campaign for Houston restaurants, it is also the largest annual fundraiser for Houston Food Bank, America’s largest food bank. For every meal sold from the HRW menu, the restaurants will donate money to Houston Food Bank, and for every dollar donated, Houston Food Bank will generate three meals. 

With the background information of HRW in mind, here is my secret list of HRW restaurants :)

1. Roma Ristorante (Italian)

As one of the best Italian restaurants in Houston that is located in Rice Village and right next to Rice Village Apartment, Roma has to be on my list. They serve traditional Italian cuisines made of fresh ingredients. Tiramisu is not on their HRW menu, but no one would regret ordering it, and they would assemble it at the table for you to watch. Besides the absolutely delicious food, Roma also provides excellent dining experience with the artistic plating and adorable patio. 

Address: 2347 University Blvd, Houston, TX 77005

2. Melting Pot (Swiss fondue)

If you are a cheese lover who also likes hot pot, Melting Pot is the spot to go to. Their HWR menu is a 39$ dinner, including three pots. The first one is cheese fondue, and my all-time favorite is loaded baked potato cheddar with little bacon bits. The second one is a main course which is a wine soup base with different kinds of meat. It comes with various dipping sauces and it’s really fun to figure out your favorite one. The third course is the famous chocolate fondue, which I think anyone would love easily without explanation. Also very importantly, the fruits, vegetables, and breads for the cheese fondue, as well as the fruits, candies, and cookies for the dessert fondue are UNLIMITED! Help yourself! 

Address: 6100 Westheimer Rd Suite #146, Houston, TX 77057

3. Le Colonial (Vietnamese)

Le Colonial serves French-Vietnamese fusion food, combining perfectly the delicacy of French cuisine and the passion of Southeast Asian cuisine. The traditional Vietnamese dishes like Sui Cao Chien (pan-fried dumplings) and Goi Cuon (chilled shrimp summer roll) are modified with a twist in their flavor and texture, and it is great fun to explore and be surprised. Known for its exotic decoration, this two-story restaurant is also a popular spot to take pretty photos. Reservations are recommended since this place gets crowded fast.

Address: 4444 Westheimer Rd Suite G-140, Houston, TX 77027

4. Da Gama Canteen (Indian)

Da Gama is a modern Indian restaurant. Since the dishes are Indian fused with Portuguese, the spice used is slightly subtler than traditional Indian cuisine. So, it would be a great starting point for people who are new to Indian cooking. Not on the HRW menu, but Crab pani puri is a must-try. Pani puri is a popular Indian street food of crispy, hollow, fried dough shells stuffed with potato, peas, and onion. Da Gama has successfully modified this already delicious street food to another level with richly flavored crab. The canteen is also known for their cocktails, so don’t miss out if you’re there.

Address: 600 N Shepherd Dr Suite 520, Houston, TX 77007

5. Oporto Fooding House & Wine (Portuguese)

Oporto shows their sincerity to the customers by including two signature dishes, Portuguese squid fried rice and crab & avocado crostini, in their HRW menu. Besides, there’re so many restaurants in Houston serving Tiramisu, but there’s something special with the Portuguese Tiramisu, Bolo De Bolacha. I couldn’t tell because I’m not a professional chef, but it tastes magical and it’s also on the HRW menu. Also, fun fact with their HRW menu, the dinner menu is also available during lunch time, so if you go for lunch with someone, there will be many great options to choose from.

Address: 125 W Gray St #500, Houston, TX 77019

6. Coppa Osteria (Italian)

Okay, here’s another Italian place in Rice Village but not only because I’m addicted to Italian food. It’s just that good with the perfect antipasti, pizza, and pasta. It’s also really cute and romantic that they put a little candle on every table during dinner. And most importantly, they have the most generous HRW menu. The dishes worth nearly $100 at the regular menu only cost $55 with HRW. It’s like stealing! And if you ever go, make sure you have enough space in your stomach because the portions there are huge.

Address: 5210 Morningside Dr, Houston, TX 77005

These restaurants are just a small part of Houston Restaurant Weeks, and there are hundreds of restaurants serving diverse and delicious cuisines with discounted prices. Have fun exploring!

Rice university selected to participate in aac&u institute on ai, pedagogy, and the curriculum, a collaborative rice team to build a campus-wide roadmap for ai adoption in teaching and learning.

A dedicated team of Rice faculty and staff has been selected to participate in the 2024-2025 AAC&U Institute on AI, Pedagogy, and the Curriculum. This initiative focuses on equipping institutions with the tools and strategies needed to thoughtfully integrate AI into their curricula, ensuring that AI enhances, rather than disrupts, the educational experience. By participating, Rice aims to stay at the forefront of these developments, preparing its students and faculty to navigate and lead in a rapidly evolving academic landscape.

This selection underscores Rice's commitment to advancing the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education, aligning with the university's strategic priorities to lead in innovative and responsible AI practices.

The Rice team comprises the following distinguished members, each representing key areas of the university:

• Shawn Miller , associate provost for Digital Learning and Strategy
• Carissa Zimmerman , director of the Center for Teaching Excellence
• David Messmer , director of the First-Year Writing Seminar Program and associate teaching professor
• Leslie Schwindt-Bayer , associate dean for Undergraduate Education and chair of the committee currently revising Rice’s General Education curriculum
• Amy Birkhead , online program support technologist, Office of Information Technology

Expanding AI in Education at Rice

The team at Rice, representing various departments, including the Provost’s Office, Rice Online Learning, Center for Teaching Excellence, Undergraduate Education, Office of Information Technology, and the Program in Writing and Communication, will collaborate at the institute to develop a comprehensive roadmap for AI adoption in teaching and learning.

Reflecting on the team's composition and objectives, Shawn Miller, associate provost for digital learning and strategy, stated, "Our team’s composition reflects stakeholders in a centrally-supported but distributed university-wide effort. Our team brings together faculty who also lead committees, services, departments, and centers with staff directly connected to the intersection of digital learning, pedagogy, and innovation. We are committed to using this experience to build positive and meaningful connections across departments, schools, and units as we collaborate around new opportunities for innovation and change."

Goals for the Institute

At the AAC&U Institute, the Rice team aims to:

• Develop guiding principles and best practices for AI integration that align with the university's strategic goals.
• Enhance AI literacy among faculty and students, making it an integral part of the undergraduate curriculum.
• Foster a culture of ethical and productive AI usage, ensuring that Rice graduates are well-equipped to navigate and lead in an AI-driven world.

Rice faculty and staff are national leaders in AI research and technical advancement. Over the summer of 2023, leaders from the Office of Information Technology and other key stakeholders developed training resources and guidelines for AI usage in the classroom. A new AI Advisory Committee, convened by the provost and vice president for information technology and Chief Information Officer, further demonstrates Rice’s commitment to integrating AI into both academic and administrative contexts.

Join the Conversation

In line with these efforts, the Center for Teaching Excellence, Rice Online, and the Office of Information Technology are offering a fall reading group focused on "Teaching with AI." Faculty members are invited to join the first session on Tuesday, September 17th, at 12 p.m. CST. To RSVP for this session and learn more, please visit the Rice Center for Teaching Excellence .

Travis Seamons, a doctoral student in systems, synthetic and physical biology, focuses on advanced biological systems to sequester carbon dioxide. Stan Kannegieter, a doctoral student in economics, investigates economic models and policies that can facilitate the transition to a decarbonized industry.

A partnership for a sustainable future

“Rice University is at the forefront of developing scalable, practical, lower carbon solutions that the world needs, and Chevron is proud to support emerging leaders focused on innovative solutions,” said Chris Powers, vice president of carbon capture, utilization and storage at Chevron New Energies.

By partnering with the RSI, Chevron is investing in original solutions and supporting the future leaders who will drive the energy evolution.

The RSI, in partnership with Chevron, established the Rice Chevron Energy Graduate Fellowship program to advance cutting-edge sustainable energy solutions and to nurture the development of future leaders in this critical field.

Applying for a Doctoral Program

Start Your Application

Manage Your Application

A Doctorate is the highest academic degree awarded by universities in most fields of study. It involves several years of rigorous research, culminating in a dissertation that contributes new knowledge to the field. Doctoral candidates work closely with a faculty advisor to explore and answer complex questions, often pushing the boundaries of what is known.

Applying to a doctoral program is like applying for a job. This process requires more diligence and patience than applying for a Master’s degree. To stand out from a competitive pool of candidates, you must prepare a strong application that includes your academic achievements, any related research experience, and a clear statement of your research interests and goals. Be sure to demonstrate your passion, fit for the program, and your interest in RIT.

Explore our doctoral programs

How to Apply for a Doctoral Program

For details on the exact application requirements for your program, visit the Application Details section on your degree page and thoroughly review the graduate application instructions page .

• Most doctoral programs have an application deadline of January 15 and admit to Fall terms only, but be sure to verify the application deadline for your program and start terms before applying. Many programs will accept applications on a rolling basis after the priority deadline has passed until all spots are filled. For tips on completing your application, view our Ph.D. Application 101 recording . 
• Early applicants may see a “Hold for Program Deadline/Review Date” on the checklist in their portal. This an administrative hold that prevents applications from going for review until after December 15th. You will be notified when your file is sent to the review committee by email.
• Choose the Right Doctoral Program:  Review individual doctoral program pages carefully to learn the curriculum, research focus areas, facility profiles, and facilities to determine if the program is a good fit for you and to ensure that your interests and background align with the degree. The application will allow you to enter up to three choices in order of preference.
• Research Your Faculty Interests: Identify faculty members whose research aligns with your interests. Matching your research area with potential advisors strengthens your application and helps ensure a good fit. It is not necessary to secure a faculty advisor in order to submit your application. Learn more about researching faculty and areas of interest
• Craft Your Statement of Purpose for Research: This requirement should clearly convey your research interests, indicate what faculty member(s) you would like to work with, your experience, and why you want to pursue a doctorate at RIT. Each program may have specific guidelines, so be sure to address them. There is no minimum or maximum length. If you listed more than one program choice in your application it is suggested that you prepare separate statements for each program (doctoral and/or master’s). You may upload all three at the time you submit your application, or wait for a decision on your first choice program.  View program-specific criteria
• Choose Strong References: Make sure you choose the right people to submit letters of recommendation and give them plenty of time so they can prepare their support letter in advance. References should speak to your ability and promise to become a successful independent researcher. Professors, research supervisors, or professional mentors make ideal choices.
• Update Your CV/Resume: Ensure your CV or resume is current and highlights relevant academic achievements, research experience, publications, and professional skills.
• Verify Admission Requirements: Double-check all admission requirements and application details for your chosen program. Ensure you have all necessary materials, including transcripts, test scores, and any additional documents. You do not need to submit financial documents as part of your doctoral application. Focus on preparing a strong academic and research-focused application to showcase your qualifications and readiness for doctoral study.
• Understand Decision Timing: The review process typically starts in late January and may take several weeks to a few months. Be patient as the committee evaluates your application and aligns faculty advisors with candidates in matching research areas where funding is available. You may be invited to interview if faculty would like to know more about you. Interviews are not required. Admission decisions are first communicated in mid-March and continue until the class is full. If you are not admitted to your first choice program, allow additional time for review for second and third choices. RIT does not simultaneously review for multiple programs. 
• Replying to an Offer of Admission: Accepted candidates must respond to their doctoral degree offers by April 15 or the date indicated on your admit letter and in their portal. If you decide to accept your offer, you are expected to honor your commitment to enroll at RIT as a doctoral student. This ensures a smooth transition into your program and reflects your professionalism and reliability. 

Researching Faculty Advisors and/or Research Interest Areas

Identifying a potential faculty research advisor(s) and research interest areas in your Statement of Purpose for Research is important. It is not necessary to secure a faculty advisor(s) in order to submit your application.

Here are avenues for your research:

Align Research Interests

Ensure your research interests align with those of potential advisors. This alignment is crucial for a productive and supportive mentoring relationship. Review faculty members' recent publications and current projects to understand their focus areas. Visit the program page to learn about the current research for your program.

Use RIT’s “Find an Expert” Tool

Utilize RIT’s Find an Expert tool to identify faculty members with specific expertise. This resource can help you narrow down potential advisors based on your research interests. You may also want to use Google Scholar and search for RIT faculty.

Explore RIT’s Faculty Directory

Start by exploring the RIT Faculty Directory to find faculty members whose research aligns with your interests. This directory provides detailed profiles, including research areas, publications, and contact information.

Explore our Research Centers and Institutes:

RIT is home to a diverse array of research centers and institutes that drive innovation across various fields. These centers provide state-of-the-art facilities and collaborative environments to support groundbreaking research. Explore our extensive list of research centers and institutes

Reach Out to Potential Advisors

Once you’ve identified potential advisors, you may choose to reach out to them with a well-crafted email. This is not required but encouraged. Introduce yourself, briefly explain your research interests, and express why you’re interested in their work. Attach your CV and any relevant documents. Be respectful of their time and follow up if you don’t hear back within a couple of weeks. Do pay attention if it is documented that a faculty advisor is not taking on new students.

Funding Sources for Doctoral Students

Doctoral students typically receive full tuition and an RIT Graduate Research Assistantship (GRA) or Graduate Teaching Assistantship (GTA) that will pay a stipend for the academic year. There is not a separate application process for scholarship and assistantship consideration

Assistantships and Stipends

Research and teaching assistantships provide valuable experience and come with stipends that help cover living expenses during the school year, such as room and board. 

Summer Support Some programs are able to offer stipend support during the summer. Eligibility for summer funding will be determined by the graduate advisor and/or program director. 

Funding Throughout Program Funding throughout your doctoral program will depend on your satisfactory academic and research performance. Students are expected to fulfill their assistantship duties responsibly and make satisfactory progress towards their degree. It is expected that starting your second year, funding will be provided from your college either through a Teaching Assistantship or by your graduate advisor from external funds.

Student Fees Full-time students are responsible for both Student Activity and Student Health Services fees. In addition, RIT expects that all students will have health care insurance. Learn more about student fees

Timing and Distribution of Stipends

Graduate Research Assistants and Graduate Teaching Assistants receive a semi-monthly stipend payment starting a few weeks after the initial enrollment term. For U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents, no taxes are withheld at the time the payment is made. However, students are encouraged to file estimated tax payments quarterly. Detailed information about the timing and distribution of stipends will be provided by your academic department. 

Financial Document Submission

Doctoral applicants are not required to submit financial documents as part of the application process. Focus on showcasing your academic and research potential without the added stress of financial documentation. If you are admitted, you will receive funding notification with your admission offer and international students who require a student visa will be assisted through the I-20 process.

Student Support and Community

Doctoral Student Association

The Doctoral Student Association provides an inviting environment that brings students together to encourage collaborative work. Doctorate students collaborate to produce high-quality journal publications and conference presentations in a friendly and encouraging environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a doctorate and a master’s degree?

Understanding the differences between a doctorate (Ph.D.) and a master's (M.S.) degree program is crucial in making an informed decision. While a master's program typically focuses on advancing your knowledge and skills in a specific area, a doctorate emphasizes original research and developing new theories or applications.

Can I go from a Bachelor’s degree to a Doctorate? Do I need a Master’s degree first?

Yes, you can go directly from a Bachelor's degree (BS) to a Doctorate program. You are not required to get a master’s degree before pursuing a Doctorate. This pathway can be a strategic choice depending on your career goals and readiness for advanced research. 

May I have an application fee waiver?

The $65 application fee covers the management and processing of your record and admission materials. If you are unable to pay our application fee due to financial hardship, we encourage you to carefully consider the expenses associated with graduate study before applying.

Is there a set GPA requirement for being considered for a doctoral program at RIT?

Admitted doctoral students typically have a GPA of 3.0 or above. If it is lower, you will not necessarily be eliminated from consideration. You are welcome to apply. The Admissions Committee will consider your complete application when making a decision.

Do I need to provide GRE or GMAT scores ?

Requirements vary by program. Refer to your doctoral program page or the  deadlines and requirements  table for details. For programs that require test scores, we do not state minimum GRE or GMAT scores. Official scores should be sent to RIT directly from the testing agency using Institute code 2760.

What are the English language test score requirements? As an international student do I need to submit scores?

An official score report for the TOEFL, IELTS Academic, PTE Academic exam, or  RIT English Language Proficiency Test  is required of all international applicants who are not eligible for a waiver. We do not accept letters from your college or university indicating "English proficiency" or letters indicating courses were taught in English in place of official English language test scores. We do not accept Duolingo scores. See the “English Language Test Requirements” section in the  Application Materials  section of the  Application Instructions  for full details.

Do I need to have authored research papers to apply for admission to a doctoral degree?

No, you do not need published research papers to apply for a doctoral degree. A majority of admitted students do not have prior experience authoring research papers. However, admission to a doctoral degree is very competitive, and having published research papers helps strengthen your application.

How many students apply for doctoral study, and how many are admitted?

Admission to an RIT doctoral program is highly competitive. The number of applications received and the number of fully funded opportunities are limited and vary from year to year and by program.

Will the stipend fully cover living costs in the US?

The stipend should cover modest living expenses (housing and food), fees (student activity fee and health services fee), and costs for books, supplies, and some personal expenses. However, each student differs in their preferred living styles and their relative expenses. Doctoral students are permitted to take on other part-time employment so long as it does not interfere with their doctoral work (international students are only able to work on campus, for a total of 20 hours per week including their research positions). On-campus opportunities can be found through Career Connect .

Do doctoral students need to have personal finances available upon arriving at RIT?

Though our Ph.D. is fully funded, students do need to have their own funds available for travel and arrival in the US and to get settled in Rochester immediately upon entering the program. Please be sure to keep this in mind as you consider applying and your finances. If admitted, your first payment/stipend would not be until a few weeks into the program, so you will need to have a foundation of funds available for housing and other living expenses before that.

Is funding throughout the program guaranteed?

Your full tuition and assistantship stipend responsibilities will be determined by your graduate advisor and/or program director. It is our expectation that you will fulfill your duties responsibly and make satisfactory progress towards your degree. Funding in future years will depend on your satisfactory academic and research performance. It is expected that starting your second year, funding will be provided from your college either through a Teaching Assistantship or by your graduate advisor from external funds.
