Unless you are having a solid foundation in math during your undergraduate econ degree, you will be struggling in the graduate program in math. Not that I think you will fail, you probably need to take few math pre-requisite courses (pure math if u will) and I would suggest you go for MA/Phd in econ if your ultimate goal is to get a Phd in econ.
