There should be more. But I think they should be the big ones.

I'll transfer to IUB but I dnt like macro. I'm also from China and I saw ur post in MITBBS.

I think maybe IUB is stronger than Davis in Macro, but not very much. I think there r lots of guy at IUB working in growth. U may need to narrow down your research interest and check once again whichone is more suitable for u. after all, macro is still a broad field.

But note that California is a nice place. The life quality there might be better regardless of high living expense. I've never been to bloomington. But I heard life there is also sweet.

Besides Leeper, IUB has Glomm and Kaganovich who I heard also do some cool macro stuff. Leeper works in monetary economics, specially in new Keynesian models, while Glomm and Kaganovich seem to work more with freshwater kind of models, so you can get the best of the two world in macro at IUB.

Davis or IUB? lol... not even a question... W/ all respect to IUB, the answer is Davis!
