TBH, who cares?
Harvard Senior Hiring
-
Can you imagine anyone possibly turning down HKS for UIUC, BC, or UVa? Outside of strong geographic preferences ofc. Everyone here would do just about anything for a HKS offer, even if sure, it’s not Harvard econ or HBS
Her (few, given her academic age) top 5's are mostly with her advisor Alesina and in her alma maters' in-house journal QJE. As a result, she's clear not top notch. I'm sure she's below the bar for Harvard econ. HKS maybe, but that's a totally different league (HKS is not among the top 50 econ departments...)
Are you seriously saying that HKS is not as good as Boston college, UIUC, Virginia and places of that sort? Ridiculous.

It's two different things. You are right, basically anyone would choose HKS above anything outside the top 6. But the other poster is right, HKS is not a good department for economics.

LRM Econ grad students trying to convince themselves that their degree is not useless since it’s “real Econ”. Let them have that lol.
