Mercado Para PhD's: Boa Sorte!

Trecho de um post do blog Freakonomics destacando estudo que mostra a importância do salário inicial para a carreira de economistas que terminam seus PhD's em anos de recessão.

clipped from freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com It is going to be a tough few months for newly-minted econ Ph.D.’s. And the long-run news is also grim: An intriguing study published a few years back by my former Stanford colleague Paul Oyer suggests that graduating in a downturn results in a lower-prestige initial job. Worse, the consequences persist throughout your career, partly because research productivity is determined by the quality of your colleagues. My advice to those aspiring economists worried by all this is simply to keep your heads up. The best strategy for getting a job in a recession is exactly the same as in a boom — do good research, and be tenacious.

Para o bem e para o mal, já tenho meus compromissos para daqui a um ano e meio. Logo, meus rendimentos terão pouca relação com as condições econômicas do mercado americano. Aos meus colegas, boa sorte!

Abraços!
