General Reputation: UCLA ~ Cornell > Wisconsin Econometrics: Wisconsin >> UCLA > Cornell Game Theory: UCLA ~ Wisconsin > Cornell Placement: UCLA > Wisconsin ~ Cornell Location: UCLA > Wisconsin ~ Cornell Climate: UCLA > Wisconsin ~ Cornell My feeling is that UCLA and Cornell have bigger names but weaker faculties. Suggestions???

Information gets out of data rapidly. But what I see for the time being is that one of Minnesota's only two econometricians has left for industry in 2010. On the other hand, Wisconsin has a long tradition of good reputation in econometrics. So if metrics is really your concern, Wisconsin may be a better destination for you.
