Dear Dr. Mankiw,
Hi, I am an undergraduate student studying economics in Michigan. I have recently become a big fan of your blog. I found your "Advice for Students" very helpful to professional economist-wannabes like me, and especially, those considering graduate study in economics. Your suggestion on math preparation for undergrads landed me on one simple question: "Do economists really use all that math?"
I was wondering if you could tell me how closely math and the works of professional economists at international organizations, such as World Bank and IMF, are related?
I look forward to your answer. Thank you in advance!
Best Regards,
