Big Moves in the Market

[Tatonnement]

What's wrong with the sports page? At least here there are no deals with "professors to be named later".

In addition to Rios-Rull as listed above, note that Minnesota hired a total of 9 others this year (http://www.econ.umn.edu/). They were way down in numbers but this should help.

Other news trickling in:
Joe Hotz from UCLA to Duke (continuing the UCLA discussion above)
Chris Taber from Northwestern to Wisconsin

I laughed at this thought. Not the best thing to do at work. As an avid baseball fan, I would get endless pleasure seeing universities trade faculty members in this fashion.

Any news of Prof. Kaushik Basu? Is he staying put at Cornell? does he have offers from other places?

I don't know if someone mentioned it before but xiaohong chen is a professor at yale now. Her CV still says that she holds her position at NYU, maybe it's the Mailath kind of move. That is, she'll go there for a year taking a sabbatical and then will consider a more definitive choice, but this is just pure speculation, she may have left for good.

Thanks for the update -- I'd heard of this possibility but not its completion. But it is official (http://www.econ.yale.edu/faculty1/incoming.htm).

Larry Samuelson - to Yale from Wisconsin

Confirmed

Chris Taber from Northwestern to Wisconsin

What's the source on this one? That's a solid grab for the labor and public folks.

Hah, that's where the new page is. I've heard that it was out there. Thanks!
