Are all of you crazy?!? His wife Ying Fan is a tenured professor at Michigan who just co-organized NBER SI in industrial organization. Any German university would kill to have them.
We will not go over his story again. You can read it here, just go back by a few hundred pages. It has been told multiple times.
The point that dual career offers at senior level are difficult for German universities has also been made.Okay, so then somebody please explain to me what RR did that makes him a pariah in Germany. Please!
In brief, accepted offers at several German unis in the past and never showed up.
Thank you! Presumably he accepted the offers and then offers for his wife never materialized?
