<p>Would a student (in a top 20 school) double-majoring in econ/math benefit in any way from completing Masters requirements as well (in 4 years total) if overall objective is a top 10-15 PhD econ program ?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>It all depends on specifics such as GPA, courses, and maybe recomendations. Perhaps it could be helpful, though on the margin, it seems...uh...marginal.</p>
<p>And honestly, I'd stay away from MA programs, and work to get an MSc.</p>
<p>A time I could see the MA being useful is if the applicant is doing a career 180, and needs to get all the math and underlying concepts under their belt.</p>
