<p>I think we all have the same agreement, both are great schools. As far as grad school economics go, I’d say the top Ivys/Chicago are the way to go, and business schools/graduate programs at Duke, NU, etc are a notch below. NU has a great grad school program, Duke isn’t really known for grad school econ, I’ll give you that, but it definitely is one of the top programs behind that top couple tiers of the elite Ivys and UChicago.</p>
