  1. Hi, I'm applying to PhD economics programs for Fall 2022 entry and would like to receive some evaluation. Should I be more realistic with my chances and apply to lower ranking schools or do I have a decent shot with the top 15? I come from an applied math background but want to switch to econ/ finance departments. More on my research interests below. Profile: Undergraduate school: National University of Singapore Undergraduate Major: Quantitative Finance Undergraduate Minor: Statistics GPA: 3.72/4.00 in US standards GRE: Q 163, V 158 Messed up GRE Quant here... disappointing. Retaking it as I know I can do better. Math classes : Analysis 1 & 2 (A), Ordinary Differential Equations (A), Graduate Stochastic Analysis (A), currently taking a PhD class in Measure-Theoretic Probability, and then there's those fundamental classes like calculus, linear algebra, multivariable calculus (A/A- in them). I got B+ and B for numerical analysis and machine learning. Econ classes: PhD Continuous Time Financial Economics (A-), game theory (A-), Mathematical Finance 1/2 (A, B+) Statistics classes: Probability (A-), Mathematical Statistics (A-), Stochastic Processes (B+ but I exercised the P/NP option), Regression Analysis (B) All but one of the B+, B classes were taken during the COVID outbreak and I was affected by it so I couldn't focus as well. I am explaining this in my SOP. Research experience: 3 projects - One is related to financial market microstructure (uses stochastic control, Bayesian learning) and we plan to publish it in a top MS/OR journal; another bore no substantial fruit because someone published the idea in JFE; last project is my undergrad thesis on automated market makers (Fintech). My thesis centers on stochastic control and machine learning. LORs: I'm getting letters from the 3 people I researched with mentioned above. One is writing me a strong letter, is a finance professor with an OR background. The other 2 are math professors who afaik, are only connected to Columbia IEOR, for the States. Research Interest: Honestly, I'm most interested in financial market microstructure theory at the moment. However, it intersects with mechanism design (market design, auction theory, IO alike), which is why I'm considering the econ program. I like studying mechanisms/ systems, with an engineering flavor hence the interest in microstructure/ mechanism design. However based on what you have read so far, is it obvious to you that my profile fits a business PhD better than an econ PhD? Teaching Experience: Tutored 3 high schoolers math and they all got As. For economics schools, I'm considering those that are strong in micro theory/ market design. Stanford, Princeton, Northwestern, Columbia, NYU. I probably missed out some schools within the top 15 region that are strong in these area. May you suggest some schools to look at? What about Duke, UCLA, Michigan, UPenn, Maryland, NYU, UCSD, CMU, Cornell? For business schools - Stanford GSB, Columbia, Toronto Rotman. Thanks :)
  2. Hello everyone, I am a prospective Ph.D. in Economics student at a well-known university in Europe. However, I have concerns about the future of the job market for Ph.D. in Economics graduates. I have read several comments that claim oversupply in the market, especially compared to Ph.D. in Finance or Business This leads me to think about what will happen in the coming four years and questioning myself about the investment decision I am making. Therefore, could you please evaluate the current(and future) of the Ph.D. in Economics job market? Is there any source that provides some kind of demand and supply data? Thank you.
  3. Hello. I hope everyone is starting to get good news from PhD programs. I myself have applied to both sociology and management/OB PhD programs. There is a lot of information online on the overall health of the sociology job market, e.g., how many jobs and how many PhD graduates per year, what typical placement is for a productive student at a top program. However, there is very little information I can find on the Business School Job Market. I know I can see some placements on individual university websites. But is there any good information on the business school job market overall? Information that will help me compare sociology and business in terms of job market quality? Information that will give me a sense of "how likely I am to get an R1 job", for example?
  4. Hi friends, I've been accepted to a great engineering PhD program (that does social science research) with faculty I'm very excited about. I've spoken some with them about the job market I could go into, and they're excited about me doing management-style work and publishing in management journals. However, I'm worried that I will be handicapped in the job market for Management programs by virtue of just not graduating from a business school. What do you think?
  5. Is it possible to enter finance job market from Econ Phd?
  6. Hello URCH community! Earlier I had come across a google doc that provided job market outcomes (interviews, acceptances, etc.) for candidates in the bschool job market. Unfortunately, I have lost the link. Can someone please provide this link?
  7. Ok guys, I was in your position 7 years ago. This year one of my students is applying to PhD programs and I am super excited for him, so I am visiting this forum again to see how the market is moving and to offer you my two cents. I applied in a complicated period (2007-2009 crisis) and I was rejected by every top 20 that I applied to. I had a couple of top 30s and accepted the one with funding. If I were in that situation today, I would think it twice. Let me tell you that the job market is becoming more brutal every year, and if you are in a top 30 and you are not a star, you will struggle a lot. For instance, this year there is a top university with almost 40 job market candidates. At the end, pedigree matters a lot. I had a really innovative job market paper, but I was not the star in my cohort. The number of interviews and flyouts I had was just a third of any below average candidate in a top 15. I got a job in a top 50 program, but I was very very lucky (it involves many people rejecting that offer, I was like their fifth alternative). And this is, because my program is focused on the median placement; it pushes almost everyone at the same rate on the market, perhaps the star a little bit more. We don't have a wonderful placement but we are all at least placed. Most of the programs at top 30s are more concerned about the top placement and you will see many candidates struggling a lot to find a job. You will see this strategic behavior also in a couple of top 20s. As basic as it sounds and as alarmist as it can be, if you are thinking about which program to choose, choose the one that is ranked the highest. Then you will maximize the chance of getting the job you want. I don't want to discourage any of you, at the end I have a pretty decent job, but this is how the job market process is going to be. I will probably check this forum a couple of times more, so if you have any question for me, feel free. No PM, let's try to make public all the info.
