Learner goals and capabilities

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from Clarkson University to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.

Students are able to understand and apply mathematical concepts and techniques in the context of economics. The course will build upon basic economic theory and mathematical concepts to focus on topics such as: static/equilibrium analysis, comparative statics, unconstrained and constrained optimization, and applications involving uncertainty and strategic behavior.

Projects with a focus on environmental sustainability and policies are of special interest.

Project Examples

Students in groups of 2 will work with your company to identify your needs and provide actionable recommendations, based on their in-depth research and analysis.

Project activities that students can complete may include, but are not limited to:

  • Understand a wide range of mathematical methods used by economists in academia and industry.
  • Develop simple mathematical models of social phenomena.
  • Write a simple but well developed report with quantitative and qualitative analysis.
