From managerial economics to game theory, economics is a central part of the Kelley MBA program. All first-year MBA students take a 15-week Integrated Core, also known as X504. Economics is a key component of the Core, and is taught by business economics and public policy faculty. Rick Harbaugh is a member of the Core faculty. 

Business Economics and Public Policy (BEPP) faculty who teach in the MBA program include Deepal Basak, Eric McDermott, Andreas Hauskrecht, and Jeff Prince.
