As a fellow economist, I think the answer depends on whether you are at undergrad or grad level (if grad, you may want to look at the faculty members, research interest, publications, etc.) what do you want to once graduated (job? research? and if job, what kind of job do you want to do? if research, which area do you want to specialize in?)
... We can't really optimize unless we know the preferences and constraints now can we :d
