在这篇文章中,作者描述了计量经济学在美国所有提供经济学专业的学院和大学的本科经济学课程中的地位,这些学院和大学被列入《美国新闻与世界报道》“2010年最佳学院”指南(《美国新闻与世界报道》2009年)。数据来源于在线目录、部门网站和在线课程大纲。大约三分之一的学校要求所有经济学专业的学生都要学习计量经济学,大约一半的学校不要求任何学生学习计量经济学,六分之一的学校要求部分(但不是全部)经济学专业的学生学习计量经济学。在拥有经济学博士课程的大学和文科院校中,几乎所有排名前10的大学都要求它。在前10名以下,排名与计量经济学要求之间的相关性很小。文科计量经济学课程比大学里的同类课程更有可能要求研究项目。
In this article, the authors describe the place of econometrics in undergraduate economics curricula in all American colleges and universities that offer economics majors as listed in the U.S. News & World Report “Best Colleges 2010” guide (U.S. News & World Report 2009). Data come from online catalogs, departmental Web sites, and online course syllabi. About one-third of the schools require econometrics of all students majoring in economics, about half require it of none, and a sixth require it of some, but not all, economics majors. Among universities with economics PhD programs and liberal arts colleges, almost all those ranked in the top 10 require it. Below the top 10, there is little correlation between ranking and econometrics requirements. Liberal arts econometrics classes are much more likely to require research projects than their counterparts in universities.
