NPs papers have nothing to do with research. CDU propaganda from someone who wrote an external phd konrad-adenauer-Stiftung thesis within three yrs without giving a sh*t about getting a proper education. His papers are descriptive and we learn nothing from them except for his conservative market-liberal ideology. If you are so ideological that u think u have all the answers u are not a researcher but a demagogue. He is doing us a disservice with his existence and it is a disgrace that LMU tolerates this.
LMU had no choice and would love to see him leave. But what can they do?
HWS wanted him (because of his CDU party affiliation and because HWS buddy Ursprung - who was external member of the hiring committee- is NP's father in law). Anyway, was an interesting list back than:
1. Potrafke
2. Ludwig
3. Peichl & Traxler -

If this is true, it should be a scandal.

Stating that NP publishes a paper every two weeks is nonsense. Because counting papers published in 2019 and forthcoming as papers produced in 2019 and then extrapolating to December 2019 is nonsense. If you want to count his real per-year-output (I know, you do not want that), just take an average of the papers printed in, say, 2014 – 2018. This is 5 or 6 with no clear trend. So the correct number is more like a paper every two months (with co-authors). Is a paper every two months a sufficient criterium of bad quality? Well, look at Acemoglus output. Of course, NP is not Acemoglu and not everyone thinks that Acemoglu is a genius. Also, I am not saying that NP produces high quality. But let’s just stick to the facts.
Also, NP publishes in 6 or 7 different outlets, not just two. Blame the journals for accepting bad work or even for their existence because your personal standards are just so very high, but do not blame NP for publishing there.

Hard to imagine, Ursprung is a pretty serious and even-handed guy. But ok, let’s take it for granted. What I can confirm is that many in Munich are embarrassed that NP is a colleague.

It gets better! Ursprung was even a member of the hiring committee and did not leave the room when the decision to hire NP was taken.
