University of Chicago...probably the best place for Economics...32 Nobel prizes in 40 years have a friend who graduated from there who scored 1490 in GRE..botttom line is you need a close to full marks in math and a relevant experience. Last edited: 24-Jul-10 12:02 AM

He meant Agri  Econ, I guess.   Yes University of Chicago would be my no 1 Priority (After all they publish the journal of political Economy and Thorsten Veblen was the first editor En Chief.)  More modern theories also have been published out of there. I personally adore is " A Theory of Fads, Fashion, Custom, and Cultural Change as Informational Cascades" by  Sushil Bikhchandani,  Ivo Welch,  and David A Hirshleifer; if you are interested on the financial  /psychological aspect. Go for a double docrate Econ and Psychology--- the new trend.  (I did not had the base to go for it, – I wish, baccha ma dharai chorara pass nabhayako bhaya, I would have made it) Second choice would be Washington University. - Do some research and you would find out, why? Third (Doesn’t matters) - Harvard, Minnesota, Princeton, UNL, Stanford, Boulder aadi -ittadi.   Last edited: 25-Jul-10 05:42 PM Last edited: 25-Jul-10 05:42 PM Last edited: 25-Jul-10 08:01 PM

Thank you for the valuable information .....

Just check US News and World Report.  They rank grad schools every year.  It really depends what field within Economics you want to study and who the faculties are.
