thank you all!

The university in question is the sorbonne university (paris)...I don't know..I have already studied by myself "mathematics for economists" of Blume and Simon...and yes..during highschool I studied a lot of math....but now I was actually looking for something giving me a further basis economics so to be ready to apply for a PhD in economics...I don't know...what would you suggest?

Actually there are no exams of pure mathematics...but all these exams cointain a lot of math!

Hi everyone! I am a 25 year old student and I have just gotten a master of science in business administration (after a bachelor always in business administration). During these years I had two basic exams of Micro and Macroeconomics, an exam of mathematics and one of statistics (plus very few economics exams such as public economics and quantitative methods). I did not sustain an exam of econometrics. I would love to apply for a PhD in Economics (no matter in which university -maybe lower ones have easier programs, I don't know-). However, aware of the fact that I don't have a strong quantitative base, I applied for a 1-year -program in economics, where the exams are the following: Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Econometrics, Economic Growth, Principles of Finance, Development and Transiction Economics, Labor Economics Industrial Organization. I know that there is a lot of mathematics there (I am actually on the average in mathematics...not too bad not extraordinarily brilliant).I kindly wanted to know, if, in your opinion, after this master I will be endowed with enough quantitative/mathematical skills to be able to apply for a PhD in Economics or if it would be better for me to sustain another year following courses such as microeconometrics and panel data (the only problem is that I'm getting old!) Thank you very much!:) Frank
