Apparently there's a lot of mathematical overlap between grad school econ and fields in Big Data: computer vision, machine learning, etc.

Statistics is also pretty closely related to econ, though it sounds like theres a wide range of statistics backgrounds between programs. I had a roommate that studied econ/statistics and always thought it was pretty neat some modern algorithms didn't come from computer scientists, but from statisticians (particularly Random Forests).
