Ao, Here is my short assessment of

Ao,

Here is my short assessment of this, then I am happy to talk more about
this a bit later (and before the deadline!) once you are getting closer
to the choice.

First and most important, you did absolutely great, and you have what I
see as two great options, Princeton and Berkeley, plus Stanford if it
comes through. I think that these schools are all top programs in an
equivalence class so you cannot really go wrong!

Second, you are absolutely right that you may well change your interests
doing grad school. That is all fine, and it may well happen. So you want
to think of a school that broadly covers your interests.

Given the above, for econometrics, I would think that both Berkeley and
Princeton cover you well, with a slight edge maybe to Princeton. In
Berhavioral, the edge is clearly ours, as it is quite difficult to do
behavioral in Princeton. But more broadly, if you do applied micro, both
universities are very good, but I would say that the training Berkeley
offers is superior. On micro theory, again both places are godo, with
some edge for Princeton.

A little bit is also location -- Berkeley is in sunny California as you
saw, Princeton in a pretty location but... on the East Coast!

Best,
Stefano

But of course knowledge in a core course is insufficient for me to be exposed to the frontier of research in metrics (When involved in Alex R's work I taught myself knowledge beyond 240B). So although my fields of interest include both, actually I know more about behavioral while less about metrics.

I will be focused on micro side, but I guess I might have to wait until second year in grad school to see what eventually I am interested in. It would be great if you would like to share your experience and opinion about other fields apart from behavioral.

骗子这里是我短的评估，然后我很高兴更多的谈论这一点后来 （和在截止日期前 ！） 的一次，你越来越近选择。首先也是最重要的你绝对很好，和你有什么我作为两个很好的选择，普林斯顿大学和伯克利，加上斯坦福大学看看，如果它出来。我认为，这些学校中的所有顶级程序等价类所以你不会错的 ！第二，你是绝对正确的你可能会改变你的利益做研究生。那很好，和它可能发生的情形。所以你想要想的一所学校，大致涵盖了您的利益。鉴于上述情况，计量经济学，我会认为这两个伯克利和普林斯顿大学盖你很好，也许到普林斯顿了微弱的优势。在Berhavioral，边缘很明显，我们的因为它是很难做在普林斯顿的行为。但更广泛地说，如果你做应用的微，既大学是很好，但我要说，培训伯克利报价是优越的。对微观理论，再两个地方都 · 戈多与普林斯顿大学的一些边缘。一点点也是位置 — — 伯克利是在阳光灿烂的加利福尼亚，作为你看到，在一个漂亮的位置但...在东海岸的普林斯顿 ！最好，斯蒂法诺在 2016/3/11 7:2 上午，Ao 王写道 ︰> 亲爱的斯蒂法诺，> > In addition to behavioral, currently my fields of interest include econometrics--I also took 240B that semester and had Professor Powell as one of my advisors.

澳，下面是我对这一点的简短评价，然后我很高兴能多说点这有点迟（和在最后期限之前！）一旦你变得更接近的选择。首先，最重要的是，你做的很好，你有什么我看到作为2个伟大的选择，普林斯顿和伯克利，再加上斯坦福如果它通过。我认为这些学校都是顶级的节目等价类，所以你不能真的走错了！其次，你是绝对正确的，你可以改变你的利益在读研究生。这一切都很好，很可能发生。所以你想要要想到一所学校，你的兴趣广泛地涵盖了。鉴于以上，对于计量经济学，我认为伯克利和普林斯顿有很好的覆盖你，有一个小的优势也许到普林斯顿。在berhavioral，边缘清楚我们的，因为它做的是非常困难的普林斯顿行为。但更广泛地说，如果你应用微型，两者大学都很好，但我会说，伯克利的训练提供优越。在微观理论，又是与地方，与普林斯顿的一些边缘。还有一点位置--伯克利是在阳光明媚的加利福尼亚看到，普林斯顿在一个漂亮的位置，但…在东海岸！最好的，斯蒂法诺3 / 11 / 2016上午07时02分，敖王写道：亲爱的斯蒂法诺，>>除了行为，目前我感兴趣的领域包括计量经济学，我也把那学期240B鲍威尔教授作为我的一个顾问。当然，在核心课程知识是不够的，我要的度量的暴露研究的前沿领域（当涉及亚历克斯的工作我自学的知识超越240b）。所以，虽然我的兴趣领域包括，实际上我知道更多关于行为，而较少的指标。>>我一般在应用微感兴趣，我想大多数工作你介绍说，219b，媒体，公众，金融，IO都是伟大的，但我不会和任何人很熟悉。有时甚至微观理论和网络似乎很有趣，虽然我没有机会接触到他们强烈。>我不知道我是否应该广泛地尝试其他领域。我将集中在微观方面，但我想我可能要等到在学校的第二年，看看最终我感兴趣。如果你愿意分享你的经验和看法，除了行为之外的其他领域，那将是巨大的。>我想你可以通过电子邮件来回答我的问题可能是不方便的。下个星期五你有空闲时间吗？>最佳，>
