Where we are


"PhD programs– With a small number of exceptions, graduate programs in Economics have become so highly mathematized that they tend to prioritize mathematical training over economics preparation in the admissions criteria. Students interested in attending a PhD programs should be encouraged to take as muchmathematics as possible, up to and including becoming Mathematics majors. The content and structure of the Economics curriculum are a small matter by comparison."
