But nearly all basic textbooks and daily life simple analysis uses the demand-supply framework. Then, how do we justify the use of D/S when perfectly competitive markets basically do not exist?</blockquote> Economist on "A few things I have learned as an AP" http://www.econjobrumors.com/topic/a-few-things-i-have-learned-as-an-ap#post-319616 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 02:04:41 +0000 Economist 319616@http://www.econjobrumors.com/ I agree with number 5. I have seen tenure letters that review the vita rather than the papers, and then tell us the citation counts in google scholar.

I can't stomach that. And remember: no one is your true friend in your department. They will make it look like they are as long as they need you, your support, your vote. And really, most of the time you can't be neutral. You need to pick sides, and you will end up making enemies even when you do not have any intention. <blockquote>I'll add: Make friends with the right people in your department--or at the very least don't make them your enemies.</blockquote> Economist on "What happened to the google scholar thread?" http://www.econjobrumors.com/topic/what-happened-to-the-google-scholar-thread#post-319603 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 01:47:23 +0000 Economist 319603@http://www.econjobrumors.com/ It seemed like a legitimate question, then within minutes it has been removed.

This is true in so many levels. Departmental politics are so low, vicious, dishonest, sneaky, manipulative.

She also had solo authored papers. Should you coauthor with peers from graduate school? why not re: 3 Because they'll get all the credit, even if you do all the work. See also: Lleras-Muney, A.</blockquote> She might have had a few solo articles, but I've heard that all of her best work was with true stars (e.g., Honore). And Princeton being Princeton, it's near impossible to get tenure there even with nothing but sole-authored top hits... Economist on "How am I supposed to teach econ class after the students see this video?" http://www.econjobrumors.com/topic/how-am-i-supposed-to-teach-econ-class-after-the-students-see-this-video/page/5#post-319600 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 01:44:57 +0000 Economist 319600@http://www.econjobrumors.com/ <blockquote>OP, you are right. No one has correctly described the problem of why people prefer better TVs to shittier TVs before you. You am genius.</blockquote> Please refer me to the paper that answers his challenges. He said that the neoclassical consumer theory doesn't tell us what quality and convenience actually are. These terms are undefined. Deep down, you know that's true. Can you give the concepts a geometric representation?

Coauthor with someone less famous, and now you are seen as having done most of the work. So really, you want a mix of things in your CV for tenure and promotion, but mostly sole-authored pieces and pieces with 'younger' folks.

Also old Law and Order episodes with Sam Waterston. It's just like that.

I live in fear of making the wrong big time economist angry. I'm afraid someone will find out who I am here. I wish I had the guts.

The downside is clustering the error term requires 2^16 stages.

The schaum's outline is better (probability, something, and random processes.) But if you have undergrad RA, then just get A Probability Path by Resnick. Its the best book to learn measure theory and probability. After Resnick you should be able to move through chung pretty quickly. Economist on "UCSB v. Davis ARE v.
