我觉得读完一个再读一个可能性不大，和political econ交叉太多了，，，

Double degrees are definitely doable. But I have to admit that it's tough. I tried it, but only have one PhD diploma to hang on my wall. I know other people who have tried, the ones who succeed normally takes longer. But it's always good to be ambitious!

哪个方向也是一堆数学。只不过相较而言，微观中的某些方向简直就是数学。比如一般均衡（不过现在估计没什 ...

That is true... but I would like to do some Macro first...

嗯，肯定不会是读完一个再去。因为我看到现在政治学做的很多和经济学其实没两样。所以我想是不是干脆读两个，能够相辅相成，所谓的联合生产可能更有效率

i know it will be tough. do you think a second degree will help when hunting an academic job in econ, or just to broaden one's horizons?

I think the marginal benefit is small for a second PhD. You should focus more on your research instead.

个人感觉不值。Polisci虽然和Econ交叉很多，但已经有了Poli Econ。PS不知道经济学的load1怎么样，政治学每周的reading量相当大

我觉得你读俩PhD的目的是啥？多一个PhD还不如多一两篇有价值的paper对找工作帮助大，除非某些很特别的职位要求有两个PhD。

如果只是出于对知识的向往，那我觉得你大可以工作个二三十年在自己的领域好好的积累一些心得体会经验和疑问，然后在儿孙满堂颐养天年的时候再申请个PhD，对照着自己一生的工作体会，充分地体验学习的乐趣和那些Aha moment。最后在没有任何经济压力的情况下找一个自己最享受的工作，走完人生最后三十年…… 好吧我扯远了

如果是走实证计量的取向，做政治学也需要大量的阅读么，我指的是去读大部头的原著，而不仅仅是读paper

主要是觉得现在竞争太过激烈，想找出一条更有竞争力的路径。我本人的知识结构其实是偏文科的，对于政治学的理解其实不在经济学之下。在学术界普遍过于形式化的大潮下，尽管不怕数学，但是肯定不会有什么优势。因为我看到现在政治学做的很多和经济学其实没两样。所以我想是不是干脆读两个，能够相辅相成，所谓的联合生产可能更有效率。当然这可能仅仅是fantasy，因为不了解成本有多大，而且可能要获得知识，并不需要另一个学位

I would say that double major is just to broaden one's horizons, in this sense, it is enough to get a master degree in other area since it cost too much energy to work on a PhD degree. After all, if you are interested in other fields, you can learn by yourself or simply just taking courses in the fields.
