Go to Minnesota!

I have a long distance relation with my girlfriend and it hard but if you really want to be with that person then you try....

Any good standard econometrics book will do.See for example and only as a reference Green's, Hamilton(time series) and many other. Also google. I am sure you will find something.Also I recall that Italos( an old user of the forum) had uploaded the handouts form his econometrics masters course form Warwick a long time ago. .Maybe it worths having a look on them

I think I heard a such thing but I can ask around in order to confirm!

I can confirm that both Alesandra Fogli and Fabrizio Perri are moving to Bocconi from Minnesota Also Luigi Iovino , a job market candidate at MIT, has accepted a job offer from Bocconi and will joint the University starting in the next academic year

Could any Minnesota guy confirm if both Fabrizio Perri and Alessandra Fogli are moving to Bocconi?

We just finished the meeting with the DGS on the next year filed courses. I am exited to see who will beteqaching at Bocconi next year. Ok next year we are going to have Fabrizio Perri and Alessandra Fogli both from Minessota (could any Minessota guy confIrm if they are moving to Bocconi?) plus Alberto Alesina and Dirk Krueger teaching and being around. The macro sequence for guys like me will be stellar! But let me first answer some questions I got . Next year field courses in you area of interest will be taught by big guys........ On the leaving expenditures welll let me say that you will have to leave like a 20 old years guys. It all depents on how much you will spent for housing -Consider that Milan could be an expensive city and you will get around 2000 euros every two months.We had the first salary in late Octomber so we had to make arragements from our own on the first two months. But I had a not myopical short term behavoir so I think this is not an issue for your school choice) 1) I do not known how they make the ranking but I share your view on the LOR matter. Let say that even if ou are not in the first group of candidted admitted do to there is always hope .Some of the candites admitted in the first round will decline theit offers and the list will kepp rolling untill the fill the slots. 2)As for comparing with EUI it depends on the field but after what we are told about next year teacher I belvie is much better her taking also into account the names of people giving talks here every day, the seminars and the reaserch activites.

I have been told that Giovanni Perri is returning to Bocconi after his carrier at UC Davis Also Alberto Alesina will be teaching at Bocconi next year being on Sabbatical leave from Harvard

Email the secretary. That had happend also to me when I had applied there in the past...

That is correct. As I wrote above the first year is common for all then you get separated based on the stream and filed choice.If you have further question on the filed courses we are going to have a meeting with the DGS tomorrow and I could take the opportunity to ask him in case I do not know the answer.... There is a common joke here at Bocconi since departments are in different floors when they want to say in class for example that some people could disagree on an issue they say that perhaps the X floor may have a different view on that..

You do not have to convert your marks in the GPA system . Adcoms are familiar with your grading system

Let me put it in this way. It is almost compulsory you visti a top school during the PhD particularly in the US( .Actually this is promoted if you talk with people around particularly with the DGS(we are lucky this year to have Massimo Marinaci(perhaps the greatest now days decision making theorist in the world) as DGS) .I now know two guys who have been my TAs visiting US departments. One is at harvald (and will stay there till his is done with the PhD) and the other is at NYU.Many have been at Northwestern and at Yale. You can see the research fileds here Research - Bocconi University and the PhD courses running this year here http://www.unibocconi.it/wps/wcm/connect/SitoPubblico_EN/Navigation+Tree/Home/Schools+and+Programs/PhD+School/PhD+in+Economics+and+Finance/Courses+and+Requirements/?lang=en This Wednesday we are going to have a meeting with Marinacci and he will inform us the second year PhD course will be running next year. However my understanding is that those are offered based on the demand made by students.(we were asked to give an idea of research interests some time ago). I might know something more after Wednesday.

In some places yes. it depends on the regulation of the program, your average and other factors..

It is stiil a dream that I have passed prelims... I probably not want to think what i will be doing in that case otherwise I will not stay focused

I am not in that filed so I can comment less. We have these guys working in IO. Have a look in their research.[/url] Brusoni Stefano Cardani Angelo Marcello Corrocher Nicoletta Cretì Anna Fumagalli Chiara Malerba Franco Mancusi Maria Luisa Polo Michele Generally what we were told at the beginning is that Bocconi is trying to be transformed in a high quality research school. So they tare trying to bring good people here going aggressively in the US market. They are also trying to create connections one way or another with distinguished Italians they are are the world.For example Alesina is here and will be teaching next year being on Sabbatical leave from Harvard (He advises Bocconi master thesis students regularly and PhD's here) and Giovannni Peri is planning to return to Bocconi next year from UC Davis.

First year is common for all students .Then you get separated according to the econ/ finance root. Tabelini is not teaching this time of the year because of his duties as a Rector but he gets students.Besides in the political economy filed there is also Alberto Alesina .... Exchange in top departments is higly encoranged and promoted due to the international relations of the faculties. You will have to make a decision by the dateline you are required to without any bargaining power like usually is done with the US programs. Not sure if you are Italian or not but I do not think there is a bais to Italians students although there will be some Italians classmates(in my class there are 2)

Go to nyu!

I am an econ phd student. I cannot provide any information on that aspect. What I only say is that the school is trying to hire good people and to be transformed into a great research school

I am in the first year here at Bocconi econ PhD program .I will be happy to answer any question you have about the program .I have not taking prelims yet but any other type of question I could potentially answer it

Thank you for the replies. Just a last question Do I have to talk about the Ph.D. program I will be attaining and how it will boost me academically in the future ??

Anyone????

I am applying for a private foundation scholarship program in my country and I need to compose a fellowship essay. Anybody can suggest how different are those essays respect to SOPs and where can I get a sample? Do I have to write as in the SOP essay the why xyz university paragraph of the sop why the abc scholarship program and how is my profile matched? Do I have to talk about the PhD program I will be attaining and that will boost me academically in the future ??

Thanks!I am primarily interesting in monetary economics and secondly in some topics of open macro.What about you?Where are you going?

I have visited both Bocconi and Lausanne and I have made my decision.I will be attaining Bocconi

Anyone on this guys?I am flying to Switzerland on Tuesday......
