I am planning to go to grad school in econ, and was wondering how much multivariate analysis in analyzing economic data. FYI Multivariate analysis is one with multiple response variables.
 
more math never hurts you economics

even if its not directly related, the more you have seen, the more comfortable you will be with other material

Officially the first course in Mathematical Stat is a pre req for this course, but the prof said the way he teaches we don't need to take it before. So I am going to take them at the same time.

Have you taken Multivariate Analysis, if so how is it.

Well, solid understanding of statistical analysis techniques is very important, but is more of a prerequisite for grad school.
In other words, in grad school it will be assumed you already understand enough to work with stat with some facility. Same for calculus, etc.

Your school may require refresher courses covering subjects like calculus, statistics, matrix math, linear programming, queuing theory, etc. after you get the acceptance letter but before you actually enroll. My school did (top 10). If not, it's suggested that you voluntarily take, or retake, a course or two like that before starting your grad coursework. Those professors are fierce!

Obviously you will encounter a lot of sophisticated statistical analysis during your coursework, some types you may not even have yet heard about.

Answer to you're question mostly depends on the content of the courses your professors have developed. A lot of your grad work is through face to face meetings with the professors, and based off unpublished papers they're working on.

So there is a chance that some prof in grad school will use multivariate analysis.
