Master Development Economics

Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne

Master Thesis Seminar

Rémi Bazillier

The purpose of this course is to help students enrolled in the M2R "Development Economics" write their Master 2 thesis, that is undertake an individual research project that exhibits original investigation, analysis and interpretation.

The Master 2 thesis is due in May and all the defenses (the thesis is defended in front of the advisor and at least one other examiner) must be organized before the end of May. Candidates to a doctoral fellowship must then submit their application in June. The Master 2 thesis workshop is therefore critical to allow you to meet these demanding deadlines. As a consequence, students required to attend all the sessions of the Master 2 thesis workshop. They will obtain a grade for both attendance at the sessions and participation/presentations. These grades will also take into account attendance at the Paris Sorbonne Sustainable Development Seminar, since this will constitute a direct source of ideas for students' own research. More precisely, attendance at the Paris Sorbonne Sustainable Development Seminar will be monitored and absence from more than ¼ of the seminars will result in point deduction from the Master 2 thesis workshop grade. During the academic year, Master thesis workshop sessions will take place usually on Thursdays, usually from 2:00 pm to 4 pm (see the program below). For more information on the organization of this academic year, see the presentation displayed during the welcome session of the M2R "Development Economics" (here).
