(a) This column of data represents the average number (rounded up) of
doctorates granted by each university in the past five years and was
acquired by calling each university. It should be noted that these
data provide no information regarding retention rates. While multiple
attempts were made to contact several universities, we were unable to
acquire this information for some departments; as such, NA (not
available) is used to represent these instances.
(b) This information was obtained by counting and then averaging the
number of doctoral dissertations listed in the December 2004, 2005,
and 2006 issues of the Journal of Economic Literature.
(c) The top field at this school is not an offered field. The top
offered field for the following schools is RPI, Q; U Notre Dame, F;
U Alabama, E; Southern Illinois U at Carbondale, F; U of New
Hampshire, D; and Portland State U, O. U of Notre Dame offers a field
in E, which may be closely related to G. At U of Alabama, the Ph.D.
in economics is offered out of the Business School, where a Ph.D. in
applied statistics is available. U of New Hampshire offers a field in
1, which may be closely related to J.
(d) School may or may not offer a field in microeconomic theory (D)
but does offer multiple fields in applied microeconomics.
(e) At the time of this writing, Tulane U had suspended its Ph.D.
program because of Hurricane Katrina.
(f) Portland State U does not offer a Ph.D. in economics. The
university offers doctoral degrees in urban studies and systems
science, both of which offer an emphasis in economics.
