I am interested in macro, international economics, macro-finance. Given i get admitted to both, with full funding, which one should i choose? I know Frankfurt is very big in macro, but how about DIW/BDFEMS? I prefer Berlin (city-wise) over Frankfurt 1923838 times but as someone who isn't so interested in academia but rather at policy institutes / central banks, this is a tough decision for me. Phd is a grueling process so i think where i live matter in terms of my quality of life but also i understand some location advantage of Frankfurt cannot be ignored and their job placement history is quite impressive and pretty much what i want after graduating... help will be much appreciated.

Hi all, I got admission from Frankfurt as Ph.D. track and MSc in Economics in Barcelona GSE. In general, my final goal is to pursue a Ph.D. in North America, particularly the US. I wouldn't complete the Ph.D. in Frankfurt. Instead, I tend to study for two years and have a thesis and get a master degree. This is the advantage. The study in Frankfurt helps you have more time to prepare for the application for Ph.D. But I'm not sure if this is common for people in Frankfurt to apply for outside Ph.D. I'm not sure the placement record for Frankfurt. Plus, they are not that matched with my research interests, to say, economic history, development, and applied micro. The advantage for Barcelona GSE is clear. But the disadvantage is also clear that it only has one year. I must find a place to stay after the year. I plan to apply for RAship or MPhil or MRes with funding. How would you say about the plan? Please give me some advice. I will be very grateful. Rosa

Hello everyone, Recently I got admission from GSEFM Frankfurt, PhD in Economics program. The admission letter indicates there is no funding for the first year but I may work as RA or TA since the second year. I am considering whether I should accept it, so could any insiders be nice to provide some information about the funding situation? Do most students in the Economics track get RA or TA work since the second year? I quite like the program but it will be a problem for me if I come to Frankfurt and find still no funding after one year. Does anyone have related information?

Hello guys, I have been admitted to the PhD in Economics at the GSEFM (Frankfurt) and Master in International Economics at the Graduate Institute Geneva so far. I am also waiting for the response for MRes in Economics at Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona). Consequently, in a few days I have to decide which one to attend. I am finishing Master program in Econometrics currently and I am mostly interested in Macroeconomics and Econometrics (Time series analysis). As far as I know, both programs are rigorous and reputable. Placements are more that decent (especially Geneva), both cities enable plenty opportunities in a professional sense. The main argument pro Frankfurt is the fact that I will enrol in the PhD program directly and the nearness of the ECB, Bundesbank etc. On the contrary, Geneva seems to have better placements and more prominent program and professors, but I will have to start with the master program and have no idea about chances to exploit the fast track option and enrol in PhD after the first year of Master. Anyone who can give me some suggestions? Any input is welcome. Thank you in advance! Cheers!
