  1. Hey all, For those of you who have had extensive experiences in the private sector, which industries do you think are most relevant to the skills acquired in an Econ PhD program (either macro or micro)? Just want to get some fresh opinions! Thanks!
  2. Hi folks, Anyone know how many years (on average) does it take to get tenure at top 5, top 25, top 50 and top 100 economics departments? Thank you!
  3. You should give it a shot and apply to the top 30 schools. I'm sure you will even get into a top 20 program if luck is on your side. Also, try getting external funding.
  4. Anyone know what good textbooks (or what is used in Mines) on energy/resource economics? Any textbooks related to exploration economics/energy economics? Thanks!
  5. Hi everyone, I'm wondering how is the quality of graduate training in economics one would get differ in top 5 programs and the rest (say top 20 or 50)? The obvious seems to be the faculty both in size and quality? Anything else? Thanks guys!
  6. I agree with Economists - I've only taken Calculus I, II, III , Linear algebra, Intro to proofs, Differential equations and passed Prob & Stats and I got into top 5 program with strong letters (not from top faculty). Just make sure you do well on each of the math classes.
  7. at this point i just want to hear something since I already paid the $90 application fee.
  8. Thanks for all the information! I can see from your name resource that you must be interested in these issues too :) Do you guys know who's good in energy from U Chicago? Thanks again.
  9. Thanks for the info OneArmedEcon. So my understanding is that one can basically pursue this in a regular PhD econ program without being in the ARE program correct? Does the top 10 econ PhD programs pretty much have excellent people in this field? Also, do you know the job prospects (academia and private sector) for this field? I don't see this as common as other fields of interests. Thanks again.
  10. Hello, anyone have any information about what kind of work done in this field? Is this the same as Agri/resource economics? I'm wondering if there are micro/IO involved in this field? Any information will be helpful. Thanks again.
  11. I know this has been asked a million times, but can recent first year students or anyone comment on this? Thanks!
