选择经济PHD还是金融PHD

wenaixiang

想问一下这两个该如何选择，经济算是社会科学类吧，金融属于商科，经济比较宏观，金融是微观一点，感觉没太大区别啊，有没有知情人士告诉我，哪个比较好申请，哪个拿到奖学金的可能性大

On the surface, Econ, in general, would have more positions open every year than finance, which is an endogeneous matter to me. It seems like finance is relatively hard to get in based on the low #offer/#applicant ratio, which is endogeneously induced cause you are comparing one field (the controversially 2nd hottest one now) in B school to 4-5 fields in econ. Good econ department is very competitive. Both econ and finance are parts of social science, in contrast to natural science. Specifically, finance itself is part of Econ. You might find that econ departments include people who work on labor, macro, financial economics and so forth. Finance department would more concentrate on financial economics. These are just my ideas and I would also like to remind you that five years of one's life (at least) might deserve a bit more careful consideration than making a decision of going eat in Wendy's or Burger King or eat at all.

看了這句, 建議樓主還是經濟金融的學術結構, 多做了解,
再說申請PhD和拿獎學金吧.
research proposal / personal statement都夠你受的了.....

要不, 先弄個碩士也是一個不錯的考慮.


P.S.
從學術上的角度看, 金融其實可以算是經濟學中的一個範疇,
廣義來說, 甚至商科也可以說是社會科學.

至於經濟比較宏觀, 金融是微觀一點, 我看了只能說, 予欲無言.
不客氣的說, 回家洗洗睡, 搞清楚經濟之下各個subfield的研究有些甚麼再說吧.....
e.g. 看看econ departement senior year有甚麼topic course
