RaoulDuke, in answer to your question above, both of the graduate programs I’m referring to are at large well-regarded public “flagship” universities. Certainly for economics, most graduate programs worth the investment of several years of your life have funds available to cover tuition and fees and a stipend. If they don’t, that means they don’t have external research money, and you don’t want to go there anyway. I don’t know much about physics, but the same is true of my field, molecular bio and biochem.
