igidr interview call

[ravian]

hello,

I got an igidr interview call for msc economics, but i have absolutely no idea about the interview process. I would be very grateful for some details.

Thanks

:)

You don't need to do anything special to prepare for the interview. Preparation for economics entrance exams will also prepare you for the interview.

Thanks for the info...can you tell me if the interview is maths or eco intensive..??

[Amit Goyal]

They can test you on just Economics or just Maths or both Economics and Maths. Its their choice. Intensity of a particular subject in an interview varies a lot with time, situation you might be in at the time of the interview and also the professor interviewing you.

Ok,thanks..i'll just revise what i know then. 

On a different topic, I am having difficulty with the dse questions involving labour demand and supply, price, wage rate, unemployment..etc. If you could suggest where from i could read these it would be very helpful. I have dornbusch fisher, mankiw, branson, abel and bernanke. (dse 08 ques 41-46, dse 07 ques 31-32)

I recommend Branson

[ravian]

1) Demand and Supply in the labour market( chapter 6) and 

2) Search, wage rigidity and unemployment (chapter 10)

Are these the relevant chapters..sorry for the confusion, but i am from a non eco background and the approach of branson is completely different from the other books.
