Banking and Quantitative Finance Line: This Doctoral Program in Quantitative Finance and Economics has a clear and well-defined interest, especially for bank study services. There is a great demand from this type of institution for the students of the doctorate in Banking and Quantitative Finance, since the doctors become true experts in risk assessment. Specifically, 7 of the 21 PhDs in the program currently work in financial institutions (Bank of Spain, BBVA, BSCH, ITZARRI, Chicago FED), while the rest have joined various national or foreign universities as professors and researchers. Economics Line: Since there are several lines of research in this program, the type of potential company or institution varies enormously. Thus, for example, those who specialize in energy issues have the large Spanish energy companies as potential interested companies. Those who specialize in the Labor Market, being an expert in the applied analysis of said market, may be of interest to consultancies specialized in the analysis of the labor market. Since another line of research in the program is Monetary Economics, institutions such as Central Banks (whether national or international) may be interested in these students.
