Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
Interview consisted of discussion of research (questions about how would you describe research in non-technical terms) and a case discussion. Case was mostly testing intuition about economic problems - how companies behave under various configurations of competition. How one would measure market power, etc.

Interviewed Feb 2008 (took 4+ weeks)
It involved the interviewer describing a case, and asking what one should look at. the interviewer gave helpful hints. the case was usually a litigation case. for e.g. company A acquired company B, but withheld some important piece of information. after a few months, the information came out, and company A stock was hammered. shareholders of company B then sued. how should we compute damages?
