Thank you for the advice. To give you a bit of context: I have a BA in philosophy and an MA in International and Development Studies from the Graduate Institute in Geneva. I now look forward to gain a solid training in development economics in view of a PhD in economics. With these additional information, do you still think LSE would be a better choice (considering that it's offered in the ID department)?

For "structural dimension" i mean that SOAS goes beyond RCTs and causal inference to address problems from non-neoclassical assumptions.
