The difference between ph. D. and PhD in economics-overseas prestigious schools

In an application for study in the United States, a lot of people will be for some professional choice and puzzled, mainly on the choice of professional information is not clear enough, especially in recent years the rise of professional, due to professional reference information is not complete, so it is difficult to choose, the following is a look at the U.S. financial science PhD and Economics of some differences, I hope I can give you some help.

The American PhD in economics is two grades worse than a PhD in finance. Of course, the gap between the top bulls and the PhD in finance is not that big.

In the United States, the Ph. D. In finance is two choices: schools and industry. There is no place to go to the industry except Wall Street. PhD in economics also has a lot of government or counseling.

It's not hard to get back into college, government, or banking with a PhD in finance or economics from the U.S., and it's usually the counterpart (unless you're studying something very, very impractical). But the top 50 schools outside the United States are hard to say, basically gambling.

If you are the master of this professional, direct application of the first 50 of the United States financial Science doctor, Hope is slim, there is no need to tangle Harvard cheese Big Ben which is good. If it is an undergraduate course, the first 100 of the finance doctor will not have to think. Ph. D., 50-100, can try and compare. The American doctor of Finance is the most competitive in all professions. The top 100 ph. D. In finance, most of which have two master's degrees (at least one of them in the United States), or the top 20 graduate.

In addition, the following situation requires attention:

Finance PhD and Economics PhD are far away ... Especially the admission and graduation ~

Finance belongs to Business School,finance's PhD in the United States every year, the average one school recruit only 2-3, probably less than 100 universities have finance PhD program (to AACSB certification), so little supply, About 200-300 people graduate each year.

Economics belong to graduate School,economics PhD recruit a lot, each school about 10-20 people, about 150 of the university has a PhD program, so about 2000-3000 people graduated every year ~ It's 10 times times the PhD of finance!!!

Therefore, now finance PhD basic work, the average starting salary in the United States about 10w dollars; economics PhD to find work is very difficult, back is not popular, 100 after the school will not go ~ in the United States, the average starting salary of only 6w dollars ~ ~ ~

But the average starting salary for the two-year PhD in American universities as a professor (non-lecturer) is 128,000, and economics is 85,000.

Based on the above distinction between ph. D. and Ph. D. in economics, it is believed that many people who plan to apply for a PhD in American finance may refer to the above information to prepare and plan for an application for study in the United States in advance.
