I have a friend who is interested in economics, and currently he is looking into going to Keio University. Probobly not much help, but when it comes down to it, I think that the research and studying you do on your own dime is what makes the education, schools really only help guide. If you work hard enough, you could easily pull off a better education at a low school than working less at a prestigious school.

But people do look at your degree, as opposed to giving you tests on knowledge and such when you enter the workplace. In this scenario, having a degree from a prestigious school can mean a whole lot more. Whether or not it is a well known economics school or not, graduating from a place like Keio or Tokyo U will be looked at with interest. Just remeber to study on your own as well as the mule-like workload they will give.
