摘要：We compare the undergraduate Economics majors and their underlying structure
in the top-ranked Economics departments of Europe and the USA, identifying the
fundamental courses included in an Economics major in top-ranked universities.
We further distinguish between those courses that are required and those that are
usually offered as electives, finding striking differences between Europe and the
USA, especially regarding the nature of the main electives offered.The insights
from this comparative study may be useful for the ongoing restructuring of
undergraduate Economics majors in European countries caused by the
Bologna Process.
