zzmypster: You prompted me to head to the Rochester program's website for placement information, but unfortunately I did not find any after a thorough search. The program has been traditionally fairly strong, but rumor has it that it is going downhill along the way.
A correction: I revisited the Rochester program site and did locate some alumni placements (select).
A cursory glance at the placement data for the (so-called) top 30 U.S. Economics Ph.D. programs confirms my earlier assertion that in general graduates from these programs have excellent career prospects in academia, government institutions, or the private sector. In a humble effort to ease clarifying the long-standing misunderstanding with regard to Economics Ph.D. placements, I am planning on including some of this information in the Placement Rankings.
By the way, the Umich and UCLA Economics programs never appear in the U.S. top 10 bracket in any of the rankings I have identified, among which are IDEAS/RePEc (highly influential and cited), Tilburg's Top Global 100, journal articles focusing on ranking economics departments (a few published in decent journals), and even USNews and WorldReport.
raccoon_paw: You are not a harsh critic of my posting. Thank you for your leniency. Proceeding from a job market point of view, you went beyond my arguments or claims in effect rather than counter or attack those. For instance, I pointed out that some business schools (top or otherwise), particularly their Fin Depts, have an inclination to hire Economics Ph.D.s, but did not mention how rigorous the hiring process is or how treacherous the Econ to Fin conversion is. I dare to ask if you are on job market.
By the way, I agree with you that placements of the OSU Econ program are incompatible with the faculty research reputation of the Econ Dept and so fall short of meeting the top 30 standards.
Anyone is welcome to critique my postings. Do not hesitate to slam them if one does not like them, but in doing so please do not be biased or disdainful.
