LSU EMBA program here. Not sure about PhD programs but you still have to be a solid student to get into any of these programs. While I do agree on pay to play, that applies to Senior VP's or C-suites with companies that donate mad money to the program/TAF.
Of the 11 professors we had, one has a terrible teaching technique and with the content needed to know for the exams made it difficult. The others were spot on for with knowledge of the topics and ability to take the theory and put them into practice; discussions went far outside the classroom and into real work situations/problems.
Depending on your career path, MBA is better for a rounded knowledge of C-Suite/business.
If you want specific finance/econ sector knowledge, MS Economics would give you that.
If you want to be a professor of Economics at a top tier school then you'd need the PhD
FYI - a friend of mine went to Ross (UM) and said it was underwhelming compared to his Kellog, Wharton, Harvard co-workers. Also note - while the rankings are great, the LSU program has the exact same syllabus as the top tiered schools.

Elite MBA programs are about the brand and the network. There may be a slight delta in the teaching quality or the material covered but it’s not the difference in the value of the degree.

Well, I graduated magna cum laude from my University and I'm taking the GRE in January. I'm looking for a program where I will receive funding. I really dislike the IVY league schools and they usually only accept .5% of their applicant pool.
What about Quantitative analysis? I usually see people who are model developers have a PhD in finance or economics. Thank you for your input.
