Nachdem seine Thesen zu Covid-19 dort zu hitzigen Diskussionen geführt hatten, schickte Homburg über den Verteiler eine Mail, in der er einen anderen Teilnehmer der Liste in die Nähe von Medikamentenmissbrauch rückte und Spott über dessen wissenschaftliche Karriere andeutete. In der Folge wollten einige Ökonomen die Liste verlassen; Carl Christian von Weizsäcker, Initiator des Verteilers, belegte die Liste mit einem Moratorium, um den Zerfall der Gruppe zu verhindern. Einem anderen Kollegen, der Fragen zu Homburgs Corona-Thesen hatte, drohte Homburg mit juristischen Schritten.

I am on that Weizsacker list and checked my mails. RR himself posted about his alleged medical abuse. Homburg did not. Will likely sue.

Stefan war wirklich DAS Wunderkind in den 80-95er Jahren. Das Makrobuch hat er als Hiwi bei Felderer geschrieben, Felderer hat daran nichts gemacht. Dann kam er nach Bonn, damals schon Spitze in D. Und dann kam nach Magdeburg nichts mehr bei ihm, keine wichtige Veröffentlichung, nichts.

JPubEc 2000, Economica 2006 etc. ? Has vast numbers of cites.

Think Homburg is simply a further victim of Rudi's crusades. The last was Achim Truger, one of Germany's "funf weisen". RR no giod.

Wow - I am deeply impressed. 3200 cites, 600 of which are for the textbook
A true Wunderkind.

If we only gain credits via citations, our profession is doomed to become like sociology... I think that rigor should be more valued than citations. Unfortunately, the definition of rigor might be subjective or also be flawed like all the other rankings.

"Only what can be counted counts" is the wrong motto

It seems that the universities are now continuing their hirings again. My question: In which sense will the applications of seniors change if online teaching becomes the new standard? Will they more likely be interested in moving if they can essentially live anywhere on the planet to get their work done?

... if online teaching becomes the new standard?

This will not happen.

Dream on. Depression -> strong budget cuts -> universities avoiding expensive seniors -> juniors present textbook videos.

Not in Germany. There the university expenses are, if anything, a bit countercyclical. For the US you are right. Which is why German Econ departments have a unique opportunity here to hire the young guns back: Weber, Schoefer, Jaeger, Stroebel, Schilbach, etc.

You should not. Who says you should?

SH 3289 GS cites over 1100 of which from Textbooks.

RR 2604 GS cites with pretty much half the time since first publication. That is, he already dominates SH in terms of intrascientific impact (subtracting textbook citations, which are about teaching), with half the time of publishing. RR has three papers cited more than SH best cited paper. One paper that is almost three times cited as much.

Facts.

Yes. And RR averages a cool 400 cites per year (with an increasing trend), while SH reaches 120 per year (with no clear trend). In 3 years, RR will have surpassed SH. Better still, RR knows how to think about risk, which is why he is not afraid of flying but careful about the corona virus. In the other hand, why should an economist know about risk?

Could you please state the risk function that you are using here?

Frightening thought. So, Rudi, stop your nauseating self-promotion, crucify Homburg (while he talks on public tv), and PLEAZZZE, let us talk about Jobs here.

Maybe, RR could tell us something about his thoughts on the future of online learning.

Why would anyone of those mentioned come back to Germany?

Because the situation in US higher education is dire.
