Tips for Applying for PhD programs in economics
American Economic Association (2007) "Graduate Studies in Economics" http://www.aeaweb.org/gradstudents/index.php
上面这个网页是美国经济学联合会的网页上对于经济学的整体介绍,是为那些对经济学学术生涯感兴趣的学生们的一个提纲挈领的学科入门指导哦~~~个人感觉是最有用的一篇文章。 里面还有米国各个稍微有名的经济学 phd 项目的网页链接
New York University (2004) "Applying to the PhD Program in Economics at NYU" - Although this is meant for those applicants interested in NYU, it provides quite a few useful pieces of information for all economics PhD applicants. http://econ.as.nyu.edu/object/econ.faq.doc
Athey (undated) "Advice for Applying to Graduate School in Economics" - as the author is a professor at Harvard (and previously at Stanford and MIT), this advice is useful at least for applying to the top 5 schools . http://kuznets.fas.harvard.edu/~athey/gradadv.html
Rachael Meager (2012) “How to get into a Top 10 Economics PhD Program (from Australia)” Core Economics. http://economics.com.au/?p=8458
