This program takes an academic look at the interplay between Economics and Governance,
between the public and the private sector,
and all of this,  right in the political heart of the Netherlands.
And that is super exciting!
For  example, think about how globalization and technological change
may impact jobs and the labour market.
On the one hand,  we need a firm understanding of the economics behind this issue.
But on the other hand, losing jobs is politically very sensitive.
Policymakers have to take this sensitivity into account when deciding on public policies.
That’s exactly what this program does.
It combines a solid understanding of economics
with state of the art theories from public administration.
After this program, our graduates have a unique profile.
One the one hand, they have the skills of an economist, 
  in terms of economic thinking and data analysis.
And on the other hand, they actually understand the complexities of public policymaking.
And that means when they enter the labour market,
they are very attractive candidates for both the public and the private sector.
