Cld you please let me know how good Maryland is for a Phd. in environ econ. I know econphd.net etc. give it top rank but I guess rankings should be taken with a pinch of salt. What is the perception of the school amongst the faculty/students in other (higher?) places. How would a Phd in AREC from Maryland (and the like) be vs. an Econ Phd. from a top 10 school with a specialization in envt? Also, what the kinds of non-academic job opportunities are available to AREC Phds?
