发帖数: 18 | 1 大家觉得哪个适合我？
个人情况：想做corp finance，最好能搞理论，将来想进academic
UW - Madison: 经济系强，对以后搞理论应该有帮助。学校做corp fin的教授比较多，
理论和实证的都有。去年拿了85m的donation，希望未来几年能把program上升一个层次。
Boston College：私校，funding应该不成问题，经济系和Madison没得比，不在一个
level。但是综合各种的finance phd ranking，BC可能比Madison好一点点（根据发表论文数，BC可能好一点，但是根据论文的引用率，好像Madison又要高一点）。学校比较偏做corp fin，但是基本上都是做实证的。
另外，两校给的钱差不多，如果两者其他方面相等的情况下，我会prefer大学校。。。
Any comment is welcome! Thanks! |

发帖数: 405 | 2 why do you care about econ? you just need to take econ courses in your first
year and then say bye bye to them. that is it ... unless you want to find
jobs in econ department later (i think you will not, since econ AP is salary
is half of finance AP), you should think more about faculty in finance
department. if this question was raised by a econ student who compare
madison and BC and think about doing research in finance, i understand...
in my opinion, maybe biased, BC is much better than madi

发帖数: 405 | 4 ok. if you want to do corporate finance theory, the foundation is game
theory. It is true that Madison may give you better traning. But when you do
research in theory for your dissertation, finding a faculty member who is
doing theory and can and be willing to help you is really very important...

表论文数，BC可能好一点，但是根据论文的引用率，好像Madison又要高一点）。学校
比较偏做corp fin，但是基本上都是做实证的。

发帖数: 1 | 18 I certainly choose BC. The following is my personal viewpoint.
The degree you want is “FINANCE” not “economics”. If you like research
in economics rather than research in finance, please choose UWM. However, if
you are looking for a Finance Ph.D., choosing BC will be better. Why not
try to train economics and statistics stuff by yourself, and if you have any
question on that, just discuss with faculty in M.I.T. or Harvard. I don’t
think economics level in M.I.T. or Harvard is lower than that i |
