我的前老板和合作者Peter Lorentzen最近move到隔壁USF经济系教 Master's in International and Development Economics 的学生去了~他可以算的上是做Chinese political economics最好的一批人之一了。想要往这个方向/applied micro方向发展的同学可以考虑一下这个项目。我觉得对非star而言是个arbitrage的机会~

有什么问题可以直接联系Peter~我也会把这个帖子发给他，不过就不知道他有没有时间来这里回帖就是了。。。

如果有人最后决定去这个项目的话可以来我伯约个饭~

=======
I recently moved from the University of California, Berkeley, to join the Economics Department of the University of San Francisco, where I primarily teach in the Masters of Science program in International and Development Economics. We have a large number of undergraduate students from China, but I was surprised to find that the graduate program has almost none.  Because my research is primarily about China, I would like to have more Chinese students to work with.

Our program is excellent preparation either for students who want to start an internationally-oriented career in policy, economics, or finance, or for students who would like to continue to a U.S. PhD program in economics or other quantitative social sciences.

Let me tell you some of the special features of this program:

1. Quantitative focus: Unlike other policy or business Masters, we focus on applied econometrics and we teach students how to use these techniques while doing a Masters thesis. That means all our graduates have marketable quantitative research skills that make it easy to find jobs upon graduation. It also helps them get into economics PhD programs more easily.

2. International focus: Unlike other economics Masters programs, all of our faculty and all of our students do research in international settings, not just the US.

3. Careers: We are now classified as a STEM program, so our graduates are eligible for a three year OPT work visa after finishing.  Our graduates have gone on to work for international organizations like the World Bank and to private sector companies like Facebook, Google, and Apple.

4. Our faculty are all active researchers but we do not have a PhD program.  That means we work very closely with the Masters students and often co-author with them.  Because we know our students well, we can write very good letters of recommendation for ones who want to go on to PhDs afterwards. Our students have gone on to PhD programs at schools including UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, and Boston University.

I have written a longer post here discussing more of these details: http://peterlorentzen.com/master ... elopment-economics/

If you are interested, send me an email at plorentzen@usfca.edu with any questions you have and I promise to respond directly.

The application deadline is March 1st.

Important: We also have an MA Economics program.  It is also a good program but it is different.  It focuses on economic and financial theory. It does not have a research component and is not yet STEM certified.
