四、課程設置與學分要求

本專業(yè)碩士研究生在攻讀碩士學位期間應修滿36學分，其中包括公共必修課7學分，學位基礎課17學分，選修課9學分（其中跨專業(yè)選修課最少必須選擇2學分），名師講座2學分，社會實踐1學分。具體課程安排和學分見附表。

五、社會實踐及科研能力的培養(yǎng)

根據(jù)本專業(yè)的培養(yǎng)方案，對于數(shù)量經(jīng)濟學高級研究人才的培養(yǎng)，要求掌握高級宏微觀經(jīng)濟學、高級計量經(jīng)濟學、數(shù)理金融、數(shù)理統(tǒng)計等基礎課和專業(yè)課，掌握這些課程在科學研究中的應用能力。

對于數(shù)量經(jīng)濟學應用型人才的培養(yǎng)，要求學生在研究生期間參加一定的社會實踐。通過社會實踐，培養(yǎng)學生的實踐能力、分析問題和解決問題的能力以及綜合運用所學基礎知識和基本技能的能力，同時也為增強學生適應社會的能力和就業(yè)競爭力。社會實踐內容的考核辦法主要包括以下幾個方面：（1）運用課堂學過的數(shù)量經(jīng)濟學知識來分析和思考社會實踐過程中發(fā)生的事情；（2）總結社會實踐中的經(jīng)驗與教訓，并將這些經(jīng)驗與教訓總結成案例；（3）掌握與實習單位有關行業(yè)的基本知識與基本技能；（4）總結有關行業(yè)的管理知識與基本技能。成果是圍繞上述內容寫一篇社會實踐報告。

為了提高研究生學術科研能力，發(fā)揮研究生導師的研究指導作用，研究生在校期間必須在導師的指導下，從事科學研究，并在學術期刊上以第一作者身份或第二作者身份（導師為第一作者）公開發(fā)表學術論文一篇及以上，此為研究生學位申請的必要條件之一。

六、培養(yǎng)方式與成績考核

數(shù)量經(jīng)濟學專業(yè)的課程均采取講授、討論和專題研究的方式進行，對碩士研究生的培養(yǎng)實行導師負責制。

七、學位論文

碩士研究生的學位論文開題報告應在第四學期初完成，由本學科碩士生指導小組組織進行。學位論文的寫作要求見《上海對外經(jīng)貿大學碩士學位論文內容和格式要求（2013年修訂）》。

Master Program in Quantitative Economics 2020

Academic Field: Economics

Primary Discipline: Applied Economics

School offering the program: School of Statistics and Information

I. Program Objectives

This program aims to qualify students as professionals needed in senior economic management. Students are expected to have solid theoretical foundation in modern economics and management, and to master the basic methods in quantitative analysis. They will be able to solve practical problems in economics and management using the combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. They will have strong skills in data processing, analyzing and computer applications.

II. Duration of the Program

The duration of this program is 2.5 years. Those who have completed the course of study within the prescribed period, but have not completed the dissertation, may apply for an extension of the period of study for a maximum cumulative period not exceeding 4.5 years. 

III. Field of Research

1. Theories, Methods and Applications in Quantitative Economics

2. Decision Making in Economics and Risk Management

3. Financial Statistics and Data Mining

IV. Courses and Credits

All students must earn 36 credits, including 7 “common required course” credits, 17 “required course” credits, 9 “optional course” credits (including 2 or more “cross-specialty optional course” credits) ， 2 “l(fā)ecture course” credits and 1“social practice” credit. Specific course structure can be found in the appendix.

V. Occupational Apprenticeship and Academic Training

According to the program plan, students who are going to be researchers are required to have a good knowledge of courses, such as Advanced Macro- and Micro-economics, Mathematical Finance, Mathematical Statistics and Econometrics. They are also required to apply the learned knowledge in scientific research.

For students who are going to be practical personnel, they are required to take part in social practice. Through social practice, we can equip students with practical abilities to analyze and solve problems by using the basic knowledge and skills they learned in this program. Hence, we can enhance the social adaptability and employment competitiveness. Social practice is to be assessed by the following: 1) Analyze and consider the events occurring in the course of social practice by knowledge of quantitative economics learned in classrooms. 2) Sum up the experiences and lessons in social practice for case studies. 3) Command the basic knowledge and skill of the internship and the relevant industry. 4) Summarize the management knowledge and skills of the relevant industry.

In order to improve the academic research capability of graduate students， graduate students must engage in scientific research under the guidance of their supervisor and publish one or more academic papers in academic journals as first or second author (with the supervisor as first author), which is one of the compulsory conditions for applying for master degree.

VI. Education Modes and Performance Assessment

All the courses will take the forms of intensive lectures, discussions and study in special topics. Master supervisors are responsible for the cultivation of their master students.

VII. Dissertation

The proposal for dissertation should be completed at the beginning of the 4th semester, with the guidance by members of a panel. Please refer to “Layout Requirements for Graduates of Shanghai University of International Business and Economics (revised edition 2013)” for details.
