IIM Bangalore is the better option for a PhD in Economics. They have an excellent Economics department. The faculty members actively pursue research projects. Many of the faculty members recently published their papers in the Journal of Economic Theory. IIM Bangalore is especially good for applied Economics. The institute has a vibrant research culture and an excellent faculty base.
