Economic Analysis and Policy Academic Placements
From 1978 through 2009 the Stanford Business School Economics and Decision Sciences program, graduated just over 70 students - about equal to the combined output of the Harvard and MIT economics PhD programs in a single year. Within that small group we have produced a large number of outstanding economists, giving us the best average placement rate by far of any economics PhD program.
