If you’re considering doing a PhD in economics at UVic…
AND if you are a current UVic Economics Master’s student who is interested in being advised by me, please come to my office for a chat. I’ll want to talk about the following:
Why are you interested in doing a PhD? What is your sense of what it’s like to do a PhD in economics?
What papers/seminars have you recently read/attended that you found interesting?
What sorts of research questions have you been thinking about? Why do these questions interest you? Why do you think they’d be interesting to other people? Has anyone tried to answer them already? Who and how?
Why do you think I might be a good fit as your advisor?
Your most recent transcript(s) and your current curriculum vitae (please bring copies of these for me)
