  1. Personally I think this is an easy decision. UNC is terrific for financial econometrics and applied micro. The department as a whole and Chapel Hill as a place to live are much better than the other schools that were mentioned, in my opinion.
  2. How did it go, can anyone who attended share their impressions?
  3. My current interests are in Macro, International Finance and Financial Econometrics, but I also have interests in Applied Micro. Looking for any input, which programs are the strongest out of UNC, ASU, UVA, and Indiana, in terms of training and placement. Any advice is appreciated!
  4. How does UVA compare to UNC-Chapel Hill and ASU overall? It seems like UVA is stronger in areas such as labor and industrial organization, but UNC and ASU are stronger in financial topics?
  5. Awesome thank you. I think the hardest thing for me to figure out is who is "active". Any other schools from like 15-40 that I should look into? I like researchers who apply behavioral and empirical techniques to real world issues in different fields.
  6. I have been looking at a range of schools in the top 50 economics programs. I am interested in applied research questions with behavioral elements. Usually questions that involve markets (financial markets, auctions, etc.) but also areas that have been affected by different forms of policy and regulation (Environment, energy, industry etc.). I think theory is interesting as well. My ideal school/advisor would have research that spans many different topics answering interesting applied questions and also does some theory projects (more applied though). There is no buzzword for my research interests, which is a problem when looking for well known researchers I would like to study under. Someone interested in macro for example can look through macro subdivisions at top schools, or citations for macro papers. I would really appreciate some suggestions of active researchers at different top 50 programs whose research lines up with my description above. If no economists come to mind, then some schools in general that would be good for my research interests would help. I have been spending way too much time trying to figure this out on my own, so it would save me a lot of stress if you guys could help me out. Thanks!
