There are a few values that the University of Chicago practices for its economics and social sciences departments. The University of Chicago is where 'fun goes to die' and where Aspie Nobel Prize Laurete, Vernon L. Smith, and many other Economics Nobel Przie Winners, hail from.
Is there something in Lake Michigan that made the University of Chicago so successful? Perhaps.
Fanatical work ethic
The University of Chicago staff and students work really hard, all day, every day, for the good of economics. The University of Chicago has some 'bad' parts. From College Prowler, they include: The Core, the workload, Finals Week, professors pushing students to be their best, and finding out sometimes your best isn't best enough. Without a fanatical work ethic, it is ifficult to swim in the University.
Strong emphasis on academic excellence
The University of Chicago has academic excellence. There is a research environment competition leads to best results in all students and academic staff. Only the best survive the University of Chicago, because they emphasise on the academics, and not social networking like the best universtiies in most of the world.
Unlimited freedom to criticise on scientific basis
In the University of Chicago, they operate in a meritocratic setting. There is no place for rank, past honour, prestige or personal sensitivites. People in the University acts with intellectual discipline and rigour, constantly, because only ideas seem to matter here. So in the University, ideas are attacked so long as there is a logical flaw. This gives rise to dissenders, who sometimes win the Established Chicago School, and sometimes forcing Chicago academics to leave Chicago, when they do not get further opportunities to oppose Chicago.
Need to constantly back up theoretical work with empirical evidence
Evidence shows that the University of Chicago has to document every decision made, as the University is really careful examining the viability of the Chicago School of Economics.
