Business econ is more than finance, it is the combination of finance and econ PhD, albeit in a business school.
Second, they are all doing finance, and I am not claiming that Wharton finance placement is better than Harvard. But Harvard PhD program is better than Wharton is not equivalent to Harvard Finance Department is better than Wharton Finance Department.
Finally, I am in accounting so in my perspective Wharton is much better than HBS.
HBS's top placements are mostly students who write dissertation in economics and there is no doubt that Harvard econ is much better than Wharton. Finance PhD placements, excluding their own hires, are not that impressive. Their accounting PhD placements are far more worse than Wharton. -- by 会员 djorkovic (2012/2/8 11:23:56)
So I assume you do know something about Harvard, please tell me the difference between HBS Finance phd and Econ phd? Even assume your statement is correct(which I might disagree), please tell me whether John Beshear, Jakub Jurek, Gregor Matvos, Pavel Savor are doing finance? How's Wharton Finance phd doing? If my memory is right, they only have one NYU placement in the last 5 years seems to be comparable to those persons mentioned above. Can you confirm that? -- by 会员 moontroy (2012/2/8 11:40:34)
