   He has no chance whatsoever at tenure at UMD or any other comparable R1. Might as well publish something.

   And how many do you have? If you are a junior person who tires to establish himself (no coauthoring with seniors and stars) and in need of top 5 you just might be unlucky. Your chance of acceptance is like 2 percent at most unless you have famous or established coauthor. The guy is working hard and he will get them soon. True, he could've gone to macro dynamics and jedc and got all of them published but that would not grant him tenure at umd.

   Three pages discussing a guy with zero publications?!

   This is the trade-off many juniors face, if you publish your first paper in a bad journal the signal is you are not that great, which lowers your chances of publishing in a good one. To publish the first in a good one, even with a very good paper, you need quite a bit of luck. It's a bit of a trap.

   Okay, he may have downsides. BUT to be fair, he is one of the people who spend time with his students at UMD macro. There are "big" names at UMD, who have almost no positive spill-overs to the department, do visit their offices rarely, and do have no time for students. Some of them cancel almost half of their PhD classes during each semester, because they work on outside projects and institutions/firms in DC. There are cases where advisor and PhD students meet only 1-2 times each year (I mean, main advisor!). It is bad that PhD students do have less people available in the campus. UMD Macro needs to take some action to make advisors care and spend time with students.

   These are unfair allegations, and absolute lies.
   You don't have to go that far to defend Felipe.

   This is funny :) Okay, say "absolute lies". Anyway, no offense. I am not defending Felipe, just making the point that he spends time with students, and tried to give constructive advice. This can be irrelevant to any other issues (like tenure position decision), but this is true.

   This is what you said " There are "big" names at UMD, who have almost no positive spill-overs to the department, do visit their offices rarely, and do have no time for students.

   Cancel almost half of their PhD classes? That's a lie. The rest is also mostly false.

   The way you talked sounds exactly like Sebnem. You outed yourself haha.

   Still don't get why UMD gets so much beef in here. I stopped caring long time ago (even when I was there), but still annoying.

   So, Boragan is a fantastic advisor - the only one I have heard of who set biweekly mandatory office hours just for his advisees. The guy has a high school teacher mentality. I personally didn't like his research at all but that no relevant. People keep complaining that he can only publish with Schorfheide: look, would Schorfheide keep writing with him if he weren't good?

   Saffie had pretty much the better junior recruiting seminar I have ever seen. The guy could sell anything. Clearly he has underpublished, but it's a tough business, and it doesn't mean he won't eventually; in fact, UMD had a very similar case with Korinek. He didn't have enough publications by tenure time but people clearly knew he was better than that; the department tried to give him tenure but the College wouldn't. Given that he is at Darden he could have played a role.

   At the moment he has 1 AEJ:M R&R, 1 JEEA R&R, and 1 Restud Reject&R. This profession is tough, don't judge others too quickly.

   Boragan is not a good advisor. Korinek showed what he could do, but only after 2x tenure clock.

   Any more nasty inside story of Maryland macro/IF group?

   We all see that their macro/IF placements have gone toilet in recent years.

   Felipe Saffie was promising when he graduated from Penn. He is a talented person but he needs to work harder. I know coauthors of his that have been waiting a long time for him to deliver his share of the work. He needs to get his *** in gear.

   Felipe Saffie has good potential, but was unfortunately placed in an abusive environment managed by Aruoba and Kalemli-Ozcan. When you're swamped in a huge work load of teaching, advising and services, there's just no much effort left to put into publishing.
   Glad that he's given a second chance and hope he'll finally thrive!

   Hello Felipe! and still no publications after your second chance

    I don't recall any recent top 20 hire who bombed so badly, say over the last ten years. Absolutely zero publications.

    Rafael Lopes de Melo and Thomas Baranga were very good lemons back in the days

    Oh going back to the greatest of the LEMON HALL OF FAME

    Are we adding this guy (never heard of him) to the list? Seems like he needed to be higher placed to make hall of fame.

    The essay is a story newspaper onto a issue when compared to the usual sort of informative article writing. Lots of consider the American Dream is the lifetime in the Usa. The wealth and achievements will be ensured to each resident with this nation, however a man or woman should spend some time and attempts to acquire the most effects that were.

    He is showing his potential now. Three top pubs and 2 good R&Rs show how people flourish after leaving Maryland.
