They aren't a troll. Pretty much all but a few apartments are really swinging toward quantity and grants over quality. Then you have editors of AJAE saying they don't like technical work because "old white men" mainly did that. Then you have complete woke takeover at AAEA. Not hard to see why the average AP salary at ag. departments is probably right around or below three figures. Tenured people leaving to go work at ERS. All of this does not bode well at all for future of this profession.
Ando should not be on the Ed board.

No, these papers are being rejected more and more because they do poor empirics motivated by a model from 1990.

Those cheap choice experiment works are destroying the profession. Why should a serious researcher care about whether an organic label affects consumers' choices? Are you working for the industry? Sadly, I see half of AAEA representations are doing such works.
Imagine needing answers to questions for public policy! ::shudder::

Let me guess, you think our profession should be about pursuing "good" (i.e. DEI) and then wonder why we are becoming a laughingstock of economics.

Let me guess, you are unh1nged? You are really going to drag choice experiments into the deiconomics fad? If anything, ag/res/env has stayed truer to its core than the rest of econ in recent decades.

Who cares. Look at AAEA. The whole profession seems to be on a downswing in quality. Unless you can get a job at UCB or davis or AAE, why even work at these departments that value quantity over quality.
This post is too optimistic. Davis and AAE *are* departments that value quantity over quality and care more about grants than actual research. Maryland is better on this issue, but the department is fighting over it, and it's not clear which side will win. Berkeley is probably the only place left where you can be confident the department will value quality research, not just bean-counting grant dollars and low-quality pubs.
I'm in an ag department and looking to leave, ideally to a non-ag academic job, but to a non-academic job if that's the only way out.
