looking for advice...decision theory

Graduate School
1

<p>I want to pursue graduate studies in decision theory/behavioural economics, and I have 2 years left at university (McGill U, for what it’s worth). What courses should I take? I’m getting feedback that economics may actually NOT be the best undergrad degree for this purpose. Should I focus more on math w/a stats core?</p>

<p>What schools are best for decision theory, and what kind of stats will I need?</p>

<p>I don’t really have much experience in this area, but I have a friend who decided to go to Duke for decision sciences, apparently they are pretty well regarded in the field. </p>

<p>Here’s the site for Duke, I’m not sure if this is helpful or not.</p>

<p>maybe the school where daniel kanhnauman (spelling…) teaches?</p>

4

<p>Kahnaman is at Princeton, I believe.</p>

5

<p>tnaks a lot.</p>

<p>The pedigree is less important. I’m looking for a really specific field of study, so the proffesor is the critical variable here.</p>

<p>How competitive would admissions be? I can’t imagine too many applying, so I assume it would be rather self-selective.</p>
