Besides macroeconomics, what is WUSTL good at?

Levine is there, so game theory. If their master plan works, they'll be good at everything soon!

I have been hearing lately that they suck at IO. Why do people say they are bad? It seems they have a few IO profs and if I remember correctly they're ranked ok for IO on the econphd[dot]net rankings and I also thought I saw numerous IO job market candidates a year or two ago. So, do they really suck at IO? What about metrics? What about game theory in the context of IO? What about applied micro in general? What about micro theory?

They are REALLY good at hiring people lately...

They are very good in being very very rich. Probably the richest department after Yale.

They are good at building a new economics department.

Despite of all of their riches, my understanding is that this year WUSTL's hiriing is either frozen or severely constrained due to financial crisis. WUSTL's endowment took a big hit.

This is what I heard. I've heard that there is a hiring freeze there.
