incidentally, oxford have just received a big endowment from BP to start hiring macro/trade folk like mofos. a new center called the Center for the Analysis of Resource Rich Economies... they have hired Venables and another guy called Peter Neary (trade), but i have been told that there will be a few more to come. this is encouraging for anyone thinking about the mphil as Ox have been utterly dreadful at macro in recent years.
it just occurred to me that i talk far too much for someone that has been schooled this application cycle.
