Hello fellas! First post here. I was wondering on taking these courses, but my time slots are limited. Assuming I would like to concentrate in macro in the future, in order or priority, which ones should I take? Which ones give a better signaling value to admission committees? I was thinking that Time Series might be more useful but always thought that math courses for micro theory give a better signal.

Hi, This may seem very counterintuitive but I am very interested in time series analysis and macro-econometrics. However, in my first year of economics degree in took a rather difficult time series module and got a borderline fail grade. After that I have taken much more complex maths(serious analysis, topology), stats (Brownian motion, probability theory, stochastic processes, stochastic stimulation) and metrics (time series included as part of a broad metrics module - following Hayashi, Brockwell & Davis) modules and received straight As. Now, i have a choice to take a time series module again. Do i take it? Instead of this I could take a math module or a stats module. Thanks

Please review and score my first AWA essay so that I may know what my essay lacks in. My test is in 4 days. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you . --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Men and women, because of their inherent physicaldifferences, cannot perform equitable tasks. Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim. In developing and supporting your position, be sure to address the most compelling reasons and/or examples that could be used to challenge your position. The extent to which men and women cannot equally perform mundane to specialized tasks is a complex issue involving a tug of war between them. On balance, however, I tend to agree that all humans regardless of their gender are capable of performing work of equal caliber, despite the physical difference. One compelling argument against such difference or domination (men and women cannot perform similar duties) is that in contemporary world, men are preceded by women and vice versa in every field be it the engineering field, or law; medicine or aeronautics; modern art or archaic art; innovation or technology. In fact, men reached space first and following them females stepped on moon and Mars. To further support this notion, in Pakistan and still in most Asian countries, only males are allowed and eligible to be fighter pilots in Air Force, however, a female fighter pilot Ayesha Farooq broke the stereotypes and is one of the first Asian female jet fighter thus proving that women are capable of performing similar tasks whether they be mundane or dangerous and can follow the footsteps of men in any profession. A second compelling argument against such domination is that females are making equally significant contributions as their male counterparts in various fields. For instance, a woman came up with an idea of supercomputers in 1980s and invented one of them. Steve Jobs was so influenced and inspired by this lady that he followed her idea, took it to next level and founded his company - Apple. Thus, both of their efforts resulted in latest advancement in computer technologies. Another compelling argument against such domination is that media is playing a crucial role in dissemination of an important message - Women are equally strong as men and are valiant enough to face the challenges of the world. For instance, modern day American series such as The Flash, Arrows, Superwoman convey the same message that men and women are equally strong to make significance in the word, despite their physical difference. Similarly, not just in US, media is disseminating this very same message to worldwide. Korean TV Series Weight Lifting Fairy and Strong Woman Do Bong So are examples of such an argument. In these series, the lead actor/actress are shown the strong and depicting some superpowers and using them to fight evil in the society. Korean TV Series Weight Lifting Fairy revolves around a story of Weight Lifter Kim Book Jo. This series supports the female weightlifters in Olympics and other sports competitions. Those who disagree with my perspective might argue that by nature, men and women are physically different. Men cannot give birth and likely, both genders have different roles to play in society. Moreover, in past women were confined to homes and were required to do house-keeping while men did labor. This home confinement culture is still prevalent in some parts of the world such as Pakistan. However, most of the people are waking up to this call and sending their daughters to school. Another example is of 19th century, American author Louisa May Alcott. Her famous novel “Little Women” –jumbled with a conflict between family responsibilities and personal ambitions, life and death - is said to be based on her own early life. Despite her open-minded father, she supported herself and her sisters with woman’s work such as sewing, doing laundry, and acting as a domestic servant. Soon, she discovered she could make more money writing and later on, became one of the famous classical American writer. However, this argument ignores the fact that in modern day, half of women force are active in a field of science and technology – standing shoulders to shoulders with men and together fighting against the odds, according to research (on Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls). This argument also overlooks that a nation cannot progress until its women are not empowered and stood with shoulder to shoulder with their men. Admittedly, there are many examples in history depicting that women can achieve everything a man can- such as, a politician Benazir Bhutto was the first female to become a Prime Minister in the history of Pakistan, Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousfazai is a role model and inspiration for all those girls who are afraid to raise voice and demand their rights, and a film maker and female activist Sharmeen Obaid is the only and first woman to bring home the Oscars for her imminent work in film making. In conclusion, I acknowledge that females are, still, epitome of domestic servants in some parts of the world while males are the sole bread earners in family in some culture. Nevertheless, despite the inherent physical differences in men and women, both perform many tantamount duties and tasks, and do chores of similar nature thus, making history today in vast variety of fields- to name few – aeronautics, medicines, engineering, arts and designing, social sciences, bio informatics, etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
