At the graduate level, the reputation of department means much more than the reputation of the school. For undergrad, the opposite is true. BUT, and this is where sakky may disagree, but grad schools look at the strength of the undergraduate program. For example, a Wisconsin, Chicago, Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, etc econ grad is likeley to be looked at favorably because of the strength of the department they graduated from. Then again, those are alos top notch schools as well. But from what I’ve gathered, graduates from schools with reputable departments are looked at favorably in grad school admissions.
