Hi everyone, I am currently in the first year of an operations management PhD program (I joined Fall 2024). I was a pre-doc in Economics for two years before that and working on a paper with the pre-doc professor. I want to transfer to an econ PhD program, I have recommendation letters from three econ professors. Currently, I am doing core math courses. If anyone can advise me on how to write in the SOP to justify my decision, I am planning to apply again for Fall 2025 for PhD economics.

Hi all, I'm currently at LSE's MSc Economics (1 year programme). By default, MSc Econ students take the regular microeconomics class, but there is an option to take advanced microeconomics together with the students from the MSc Econometrics & Mathematical Economics (EME). For the purposes of admission into a T20 US PhD programme, is it better to excel in the normal microecon class, or be the median student in the more advanced class? If it makes a difference, I plan to apply during the MSc Econ programme so that I can enroll into the PhD right after the MSc year, so the most I would have is grades from January exams and/or a letter from whoever is teaching the micro/ advanced micro courses. For more context, I have previously posted my profile here. Since then, the significant changes are that I have finished my remaining undergraduate courses with A or A+ (including thesis and last module of econometrics sequence), and, as above, I have enrolled into LSE's MSc Econ programme. I think one of my main weaknesses are no formal math grades (though I have done well in the "math for economists" courses), hence the coursework question above. Thanks! -
Hello everyone, Does any of you know if there is a complete solutions manual for the Jehle/Reny Advanced Microeconomic Theory book? I have only found a manual for selected exercises, but that is unfortunately not enough. Thank you!

I am a psychologist planning to take a MA-level microeconomic theory course at a top 20 MA econ program. We will use Jehle and Reny as our textbook. The MA program is distinct from the PhD program at this institution. Is knowledge of linear algebra necessary to complete such a course? I am working my way through Simon and Blume to ensure adequate mathematical preparation, but I am ONLY taking micro and want to figure out if I can skip sections in the book (in particular, matrix/linear algebra and differential equations). -
I will be applying to finance PhD programs this application season, and therefore will only have one more semester of courses completed before application season. Ceteris Paribus, between an analysis course from the math department, and the first microeconomics course from an econ PhD program, which is going to have the greater signaling power to an adcom? Cheers and thanks for the continued help!

Hi friends, I want to self-learn some more advanced micro. I have read up now Nicholson-Snyder's Microeconomic Theory: Basic Principles and Extensions. I am familiar with mathematics at the level of Simon and Blume's Mathematics for Economists. I am suggested Gravelle-Rees or Jehle-Reny.In my country, other texts are noy easily available. Now, many amazon reviews say Gravelle-Rees is poorly written and leaves many concepts unexplained, I think it might be wastage of money.(Please correct me if I am wrong.) But for Jehle-Reny's Advanced Microeconomics, I listen good words only. Can I self-study and completely understand Jehle-Reny with the base of Nicholson-Snyder and Simon and Blume?(Nicholson-Snyder and Simon and Blume are also self-studied by me.) I will be obliged with your suggestions, and I will buy it according to your advice.Thank you.
