MS to NY fed
He won't give up his plush Bonn arrangement to be in NY. At best, he'll try to keep the best of both worlds, German pension claims but 10 months per year in NY.

He is so full of himself. This whole agenda he is pursuing is meaningless and just correlations. He got lucky that Shleifer, Sufi, Xiong, and the like are pushing it but intellectually, we do not learn anything but correlations and often even reverse causality. Yet, he tells everyone how many top 5s he has even if nobody even asks him and that nobody should get tenure at Bonn unless they have top 5s. What a fo ol.

Well, no matter what you think of his personality, on that he is right. How can you claim to be the best department in Germany and among the very best in Europe without a quality bar (and having a couple of top-5 seems a reasonable bar for a place like Bonn, if you want a W3 there).
