macroeconomist

there are many jobs in the private sector requiring a phd...

any comments?

I have to decide between the Ecares program in ULB, TSE and PSE, where I have an offer for both APE and PPD (a master in public policy that give access to their PhD program). Now, is there anyone that has an opinion about the future placement opportunities (that goes behind the placement web page of the respective programs) if I am interested in a position in a research institution or international organizations, such as ECB, UN, etc...? Thank you!

The fact that TSE is more popular for micro will imply few persons going there to study macro. So, even if there are few professors working in macro, they must give a lot of attention. And also, if they want to equilibrate the composition of their phd body, then maybe will be relatively easier for macro students to go for the phd.... What do you think?

Thanks to everybody. Does someone else have any more opinion?

Thank you. What do you mean about toulouse?

Bocconi seems to place well, but also ECARES does, according with the website. In boh there are a decent number of macroeconomists, monacelli in bocconi and weil in ulb are the most known ones, i guess...

I know they take for the Phd 20 students on 30-35 M2 people, that's no so bad, expecially compared to UPF (about 10% manage to continue)...

Hi guys, would you please rank the following for a PhD in macroeconomics? TSE - PSE - ULB - BOCCONI - WARWICK - UPF Factors I would weight the most are - PhD placement, in private and academia - Attention given to students by advisors - Ratio M2 students/Phd students Thank you, any comment is appreciated.
