Title: The Making of an Economist Redux
David Colander (colander@middlebury.edu)

Journal of Economic Perspectives, 2005, vol. 19, issue 1, pages 175-198

Abstract: This paper reports the findings of a survey and interviews with graduate students at seven top-ranking graduate economics programs. It finds that over the last 15 years graduate economics programs have become more empirical, less mathematical and less theoretically oriented, and that the students are generally positive about the profession. It also finds fewer differences among school. Despite the improvements, and greater student satisfaction, the paper suggests that there are serious pedagogical questions about the focus of the core on mathematical techniques rather than on creativity and economic reasoning, which students see as the true core of economics.

嗯，鉴于经济学申请的人很多，我们很大程度上可以参考他们的经验。尤其事对于Finance, Accounting这些本来就是用经济学的分析范式的
