Stipend

[bellaflor77]

Does anyone know how much is an average stipend for PhD in economics for first year?

My feeling is that they vary greatly from program to program. My offers were all between approximately $15k-$18K (and maybe $30k-$35k if you add the tuition waiver) but I wouldn't be surprised to see stipends well over $20k at Tier 1 universities.
