Econ vs Business

If I plan to go to a business grad school almost immediately out of college (max of 2 years after undergrad) what will the difference be if i major in economics vs majoring in business?

^The program rank will play a role, but the bottom line is that your chances of getting into a top MBA program go down significantly without good work experience and your chances of good work experience go down with the rank of your program. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do economics at a university with undergrad business and I would try to get into a top 10 undergrad to stand a chance at simply having the opportunity to make yourself stand out enough to get into a good MBA program so soon.
