As someone who is a current econ major here, definitely take math with a specialization in econ. Pretty much everyone I know who is going to grad school in econ is doing that major. Not only will it help you in grad school but you will also understand the economics major better because at Chicago, as my advisor says, economics is just another word for a math major (obviously it’s a few courses short of a math major if you do the minimum math requirement for econ but usually really intense econ people take the higher level math anyway in which case it’s just a course or two away).
