Regarding RA or TA postion in GSEFM Frankfurt, Economics Doctoral Program

[Forest56]

Hello everyone,

Recently I got admission from GSEFM Frankfurt, PhD in Economics program. The admission letter indicates there is no funding for the first year but I may work as RA or TA since the second year. I am considering whether I should accept it, so could any insiders be nice to provide some information about the funding situation? Do most students in the economics track get assistantships in the second year? I quite like the program but it will be a problem for me if I come to Frankfurt and find still no funding after one year. Does anyone have related information?
