I think you have never left your basement and went to the US?
Rudi is objectively not in a bad job situation. As an outsider, I see it this way: he is at a department better than any in Germany (not Zurich), at a university with so many more means than any in Germany and probably paid at least double the salary he would be making max in Germany. I don’t understand why we would go back if that’s what he really intends.

What exactly are you debating? The department part, the university part, the salary part?
Fratscher ist aber wirklich ein inkompetenter Clown, der mit der 5% Partei leider auf das falsche Pferd gesetzt hat, da hat Rudi Recht. Marcel wird sich bald bei den Grünen einschleimen ...
Overheard at DIW: Fratzscher announced to all department heads that he will no longer employ Weizsäcker as the head of the Phd Program via email (we discussed this a few pages back in this thread). Now, in the same email, he already announced the department heads who will take over as transitional head. Though he hadn't consulted these people beforehand, so the next email to everyone was that the announced person said (s)he was not available...
I agree that ND in macro is probably at least as good as any German department. Salary-wise, he's probably also doing well (though not as good as superstars in Germany).
Having said that, I totally see that he perceives a bad job situation:
1. ND is in South Bend. A really bad place even within the US, but especially compared to anything in Germany.
2. He is separated from his family (who live in Ann Arbor).
3. He really wants to be in Germany, cares about Germany. Perhaps he has family in Germany.

I am curious. What do superstars in Germany make? Rudi is obviously no superstar, so that would not be the number he could command in Germany but I want to change the topic.

Rudi enlightening us further via Twitter. Yes, he is the only critical mind who cares about who get‘s Spitzenpositionen.
A true Märtyrer. I do understand him in a sense if I see some publication lists but he is not helping himself with his behavior.
Not sure about the Salary. But I think 150 would be a really good
At least many people listen to what she publishes (I do not). A publication by an average German economist is read by only a handful people. So her value added is clearly higher.
I have heard that Helene Fischer makes about 100,000,000. Needless to say, the work of superstar economists is much higher valued.

If he teaches 2 times per week he can easily commute and take a hotel once a week.
Yes, your not in the department. But he has tenure...
The other day he went in a rant about hrm pushing candidates to mrms when Ben moll pushes wolf...
guess who is flying to south bend after all...
he is a joke
ND is LRM. And people can have different opinions on whom to fly out. There is a macro GROUP at ND and he is but one guy there. That said, Rudi is right: Wolf will never end up at ND.
150K for s super star? That would be pathetic. I am sure ND pays way more to it’s associates, not even speaking of its full professors.
