I suggest you figure out which one you want more...

The PhD students did have degrees in economics. I do not know how many students they accept each year. The same for the MA program. I am also looking at it, but also skeptical about the placement. Research experience might put you on the edge for getting accepted. This degree caters to those who want policy experience. Research experience will only make you a more capable candidate.

I know about the program. You can get funding through the Mercatus center if you do go. I am not sure what they emphasize on. I know a few people that attend (PhD). It is probably not too hard to get into. If you have research experience, you should be fine. I am also considering applying. Your only option is policy with that degree.

Does this mean a MA in econ can help me get recruited into economic consulting?

I do not understand how the median earning for someone with this degree is 6 figures (according to Forbes). I have looked at a variety of programs: NYU, Michigan, Georgetown, Texas, Duke, Boston, George Washington, JHU, USC, and now UCLA. The only three that seem remotely decent are NYU, Texas, and Duke. These programs, including the applied economic programs, all look like programs where students either did not get into a PhD or did not have the coursework to apply. I am interested in economic consulting and possibly working for a think tank/public sector. Economics is my passion, but I am really aggravated by the lack of opportunities for a masters even though many claim the demand for economics is growing. Am I wrong or can someone help me/

I'm about to be a junior in college and I wanted to know which prep books are good

Does anyone have a list or a website where I can find one?

Hello. I'm new here. I'm 19 and a junior in college. I wanted to know if there is a ranking or list of PhD programs in Political Economy or something similar. I only found Stanford's and Harvard's.
