Hello there, I am very interested in learning more about the MPA/ID program @ HKS from current students. How does the first year micro/macro sequence compare with first year Econ PhD courses? I am surprised that Real Analysis is not required for this program given that books like MWG/Romer are used. Does this mean the courses are not very theoretical like PhD econ courses? I know multivariable calculus is required- are the first year courses very mathematical? I graduated from school in 2007 with a degree in economics and am not super confident about my math skills. Thanks!

Hi ya'll, So instead of freaking out and incessantly refreshing my inbox, I have decided to use my energy on something more constructive..... I haven't been in school in almost three years so I might have forgotten how to study, those graphs/formulae are long forgotten...I want to spend a few hours everyday going over micro/macroecon but I dont know where to start. What books do you suggest I use? How do I motivate myself? Any online lectures that cover econ concepts? Any other suggestions? Alternately, what non-coursework books would you suggest an aspiring MPA/MPP student read? Thanks much!
