Date: July 14th, 2018 10:23 PM Author: Vermilion Thirsty Voyeur Coldplay Fan Same - I started in Econ phd and took first 1.5 years then switched to stats due to hating econ. Econ was fucking absurd - we basically didn't even touch data the entire first year it was absurdly theoretical (although admittedly the department I was in was very heavy in micro theory / game theory).
But even the first year econometrics sequence (Greene book obviously) was basically all proof based / theoretical. I then moved over to stats and LOVED it - stats was like a fucking hub of research for the entire university. People collaborated with statisticians from genetics, biology, psychology, finance, medical schools (analyzing fmri imaging data etc.), etc.
I know this is anecdotal obviously but the statisticians were generally happier people too - the economists there was this dark undercurrent in the department of political power battles, inferiority complexes, etc. |

Date: July 14th, 2018 7:53 PM Author: dun ungodly temple rigpig super math heavy econ phd is just an arms race of who can do the most sophisticated math while pretending to do economics?
would anything of value be lost if we burned down every single economics department in the world? |
|
Date: July 14th, 2018 7:56 PM Author: Hideous Violent Azn Persian basically.
burning down libraries is generally unchill. additionally, some microeconomic theory (utility maximization math, and some of game theory) has contributed a lot to A.I. . also there a few history oriented economists (barry eichengreen, christy and david romer) who do useful stuff. |
|
Date: July 14th, 2018 8:04 PM Author: dun ungodly temple rigpig more like the linear programming and game theory math was borrowed to be used in economics. econ contributed nothing of itself to AI.
history economics gets zero respect in economics. |

Date: July 14th, 2018 10:19 PM Author: Hideous Violent Azn Persian i like to call them 'prestige arbitrageurs' -- people who were good enough at math etc to do physics and pure math, but not good enough to be superstars in that field; so they went into econ to dazzle people with their ability to do calculus and get hailed as geniuses. this gig is kind of up now, and these people are running the same con game in other social 'sciences' (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4025970&forum_id=2#36428234) |
