DSE : MA in Economics

[Sinistral]

what is the total number of seats this year??

[Sumit]

It's should be around 175 (including sports, PH & CW category)..If seats will not increase this year.

Source: Internal (DSE)..

[Sinistral]

Since you have some internal source at DSE, could I ask you to please tell me how many students are selected from option A and option B?
since they bring out a single list, do they create a common cut-off. if yes how do they normalise the cut offs across both the papers?

[lovekesh]

No one made into dse from option B in year 2012. So work hard guys

Sorry, for big mistake I made in my last reply actually total number of seats in DSE was around 168 (INCLUDING ALL QUOTAS) in 2012 not 175....actually the last one was an approximation which I get from a pass out student of DSE...but when I confimed it with 2 more people n also check last year admission list.... it come out to be 168......

yes, I did ask the same question u asked me to ma frd in DSE.....his answer to me that....its totally depends on 1)candidates who writes entrance..I mean how many are siting for option-A n how many are for B..
2)on the admission authority of DSE...

Generally more candidates write option-A then B..therfore cut-off depends accordingly.

His last sentence to me was that : "It's a big secret how DSE prepare merit list....hence one should try our level best n should not bother about how they select students -there are enough seats for deserving students"

[Sinistral]

hey Lovekesh, apparently you made into the merit list of 2012, so could you please tell if there is any guy at all with option B in 2011 batch? (you just made me reconsider my "Option"s).


@Sumit: I just now saw the merit list of 2012 and the total number of students in that list were 173. neways it doesn't matter if it is 168 or 175, you gave me an approximate number, thanx a lot for that.
But your phrase "deserving candidate" (a phrase subject to a wide interpretation) has started to vex me.

[lovekesh]

My seniors told me 3-4 guys made into DSE from option B in 2011 . you send me your email and i'll send you some notes that we use in Mathematical economics course. you can then cross check whether they ask these topics in option B. why you want to write from option B when option A is relatively very simple and more probable to get selection from there. Anyways, that's your utility maximization :P

[Sinistral]

thank you. i have sent you a mail.

I know this is asking too much but if you could please ask your seniors who cleared with option B, that how many marks were they expecting. Before thinking of going to option A, I want to see if that (tangible) target is feasible for me or not.

[Sumit]

Don't be worry....BY DESERVING HE JUST MEANT TO point out students who get through in DSE by merit  ...NOTHING ELSE...n definitely the one who get in...much more deserving then others coz of his/her effort..

[Naseef]

GUYS, I am new to this forum.. Thanks for the info:

May I know which are the universities i can apply now and can prepare for the entrance exams as well

I did B.com and masters of finance and now looking for Economics from well reputed universities to get my PHD  economics later on from US Universities

Please help...


Thanks & Best Regards

Hi Naseef.. :)

Please refer "Programs" page of this website.

Hello,

I am also an aspiring student of DSE.

I was going through its website, but didn't find anything related to placements or the average salary offered. I was wondering if you guys had any information regarding it.

Regards,
Anshul :)

The aggregate production function is given by Y(t)=aK(t)+bL(t) K=Capital,L=Labour
At every point of time both factors are fully employed,each worker is paid the wage b and each unit of capital is paid rental a.A constant S of the output is saved adn invested in each period-which augments the capital stock in the next period.Depreciation is zero and labour force grow at rate n

Q1. This production function violates

a)neoclassical propoerty of constant return to scale
b)neoclassical property of diminishing returns to each factor
c)neo classical prpoerty of factor returns being equal to the respective marginal products
b)neoclassical property of substituability between capital and labor

i guess the answer is b

Q2)let k(t)=K(t)/L(t), the corresponding per capita output is given by

a)y(t)a+bk(t)
b)y(t)=b(k(t)^a
c)y(t)=ak(t)+b
d)y(t)=a(k(t))^b

I guess the answer is c

Q3)the dynamic eqaution for capital accumulation is given by

a)dk/dt=sb(k(t))^a-nk(t)
b)dk/dt=sak(t)+sb-nk(t)
c)dk/dt=sak(t)-nk(t)
d)sak(t)^b-nkt

My answer is b

29..let a=0.5,b=12,s=1/4,n=0.5.The corresponding steady state value of k(t)

a)8
b)36
c)4^(1/11)
d)There does not exist any well defined steady state

My answer is 8.But instinct tell me that steady state should not exist if capital does not show diminishing returns

Q4)Consider the same set of parameters.Then increase in savings ratio

a)increase value of steady state
b)decrease value of steady state
c)leaves it unchanged
d)has an ambigous effect...

Increases the steady state

I cant understand why will there be steady state if there is no diminishing return to scale

Please help

[Akshay Jain]

this set of questions came in the entrance test dia year......from where u got dem???

[kangkan]

Hi Akshay,

I got it from last years paper only....i cant understand how we can reach steady state of capital/worker ratio when the production function does not show diminishing return to scale..but according to the dk/dt equation derived, k does reach a local maximum for the given value of the parameters...would appreciate your help..thanks

in this question the slope of the line representing savings is less then the slope of the line representing depreciation and growth of labour and former line has an intercept term on Y axis but the latter line starts from the origin....so these lines will meet at  k=8 which is the steady state. here the steady state capital is achievable bcoz of difference between the slopes...I hope its clear what is hapening diagramatically...if not den rly, i will upload the diagram

[Akshay Jain]

I am not sure with the answers but i did the same thing in exam....

[kangkan]

Hi Akshay,

I graphed it up and it all adds up..thanks a lot for your help...can you suggest a book for Macroeconomic problems..i am following dornbausch for reference...thanks again
