BYU and supply of econ PhD's

Greg Mankiw posted a link to this study, entitled "The Undergraduate Origins of Ph.D. Economists," by John Siegfried and Wendy Stock at Vanderbilt University. Table 3 on page 25 ranks American Universities in order of which institutions were the undergraduate alma mater of the most Ph.D. economists who received their degrees between 1997 and 2003. Brigham Young University ranks 13th, right behind Yale, Princeton, MIT, Penn, and Maryland. This year we had students accepted to Yale, Princeton, Chicago, Wisconsin, Maryland, UT Austin, Duke, UCSD, UCLA, UCSB, and Washington University-St. Louis. In my biased opinion, they get a pretty good undergraduate economics training at BYU. But it is nice to have another independent appraisal.
