[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course the lower half of the econ Ph.D. class from Harvard/MIT have practically zero publications, as they don’t stay in academia but make big bucks in industry![/quote] Not true. Most of the top students in any field go make big bucks in industry. No one in the cohort thinks that the academic were near exclusively the best students. They lament that the best minds sell out. [/quote] Again, this is not true in top graduate econ programs. Staying in academia is the only thing that is encouraged and is the only thing many of these students consider. Even indicating you want to do something else can leave you isolated within the department as they no longer think you are serious about scholarship. If you have good publishing prospects you are highly, highly likely to stay in academia and to land a top academic job.[/quote]
