  1. Hi! Thank you very much for your advice. I finally chose UCLA, and it has been the most difficult decision for me. I really appreciate your help! I wish you every success in your graduate study and future career!
  2. Thanks a lot for your information!! Now I am a bit leaning towards UCLA. BTW, I am wondering if you happen to know something about the training at UCLA? Will the department focus on the PhD, or are the professors willing to train PhD students, or anything related? Thanks!
  3. Also, I am wondering if you have more information/comments about the faulty in the two departments? Currently, I like asset pricing/markets, macro-finance, growth, and some metrics (but I may change my minds...) So UCLA has professors like Andrew Atkeson, Roger Farmer, and Pierre-Olivier Weill, and Ariel Burstein in international econ, whereas Minnesota has professors like José Víctor Ríos Rull, Fatih Guvenen and etc... I wonder if you would know more about them? Thank you very much for your help!!
  4. Thank you very much!!! I heard that UCLA tends to place their graduates to IMF and world banks, and there will be more opportunities to get into private sectors; in Minnesota, people tend to choose academic jobs and Feds more; and I would like to ask if you know the difference between the two kinds of jobs (IMF/WB/private sector versus academia/Feds)? like working style, perspective? Thanks a lot!!!
  5. Hi everyone! I find it very difficult to choose between UCLA and Minnesota (ECON PhD); I wonder if you have any suggestions! Though Minnesota out-ranked UCLA in Macro, I am not sure about the situation in other fields (Metrics, IO, Trade, Micro Theory...). As people may change directions, I hope to get a more comprehensive overview. On the other hand, UCLA has a great FINA department. If I focus on macro-finance and asset pricing, will I be able to co-author with some FINA professors in UCLA? (In this sense I guess UCLA is superior). Also, UCLA has a larger department. So I am wondering if you would know something about the two departments, such as placement, research strength, performance in 5 years (any trend of declining or arising?), whether faculty members care about their students and etc. I really appreciate your advice! ******************************************************** some info about my research interest Currently I like asset pricing/markets, macro-finance, growth, and some metrics (but I may change my minds...)
