Big Moves in the Market

[fp3690]

peterB, hands down the best thing i've read in months in this place.
Dafrk3in, who in their right mind would trade a 40 year-old, Clark medal laureate and future nobel winner to someone who got a Nobel prize back when the original Phillips curve worked?

so how reliable is the hoxby rumour? and do you know if she's moving to the gsb or the econ dept?

Not a bad list of hires this season. At least makes up for Han Hong and Patrick Bajari leaving.

i can tell you for sure angelatos didnt have an offer from minnesota till maybe a week or two back. (i dont know what has been happening in the last week or so)
i know they had 10 offers out this yr, and the bunch that were accepted. angelatos was not offered a position this yr at all...

jahizbarlas, im guessing u are at minnesota, knowing all that stuff. I wont argue. (its angelEtos)

Dafrk3in, how will chicago be number one now with a man that is 86 years old? He can be as bright as a knife, but his days are over. If one takes past glory of faculty as standard of quality, then Columbia is undoubtedly number one, having three nobel laureates in retirement age.

five is greater than three my friend, and public perception is strictly increasing in nobel laureates, as i'm sure you will learn as an economics phd.

sorry, i didnt mean to be challenging, i just was wondering if its true or not. i love angeletos' work and if this is true, it would be extremely exciting news.
im not at minnesota, but i will be in a few months
