Hello Sachin, I think I have answered a similar question recently. M.A. Or M.Sc. In Eco. It's actually a Shakespearean dilemma. But practically after speaking to many prospective employers, I can say with certainty that it does not make much of a difference. Your PG in Economics only matters. That's all.

Hello Sachin, There are, of course, varied opinions on this subject. But after interacting with many emoyers, I can state with certainty that M.Sc. Has not much of an advantage over M.A. In economics. So, choose the path wisely based on your likes and dislikes.

Basically M.A. and M.Sc. are not much different. The college decides the syllabus so both course can be same. I can't exactly tell the difference between M.A. and M.Sc. Economics until I see the syllabus. Hence, again, all prospects are decided by the authority in question. It is up to the employer that how much salary they offer.
