Re: Master in Applied Economics, MBA

Hi, You'll need a good grounding in statistics and linear algebra will help as well. I presume you've studied these.

I cannot over-emphasize the importance of a program that requires you to carry out a major research project. One where you have to formulate an interesting question, conduct a literature review, gather data, analyse and interpret the data, and then discuss their implications. All this culminating in a major report/thesis of, say, 70 to 80 pages. This will make you a much more marketable to potential employers.

(Perhaps other sci.econ regulars can chime in with their opinions.)

I would recommend a program having that requirement over course work only. It looks like the second school (the more expensive unfortunately) best meets that requirement.

I would recommend something like this: http://www.smu.edu.sg/msc/programme_research.asp

But your mileage may vary

Good luck,
Mike

year ago, but I clearly know the economics book among all 6 books
interested me the most, and is what I understood the most. There was a
lot of maths and calculations, but I don't think they are big problems
to me, as I have a rather solid math background and took math course
such as calculus/advanced calulus during Computer Science study.
