| Chicago and LSE are the two top economics places in the world in my opinion. | |

| LSE is more like Columbia...not quite as good as Chicago, Harvard, MIT, Princeton or Stanford. | |

| Only most of them Nobel winners are recruited AFTER they received their prizes, or after they published the work that would eventually win them the prizes.
That is why I don't believe the Nobel prizes attest much to Chicago's productivity, and if anything, only emphasizes their obsession with prestige. | |

| With Econ undergrad, top schools typically have top programs
Among the top schools would be HYPSM, UChicago, NU, Columbia and then Dartmouth, Duke, Brown, LACs like Williams
I'm not sure what numbers are for going into top grad Econ programs from each school, do they even exist? | |
