From now on, it is no longer allowed to discuss Homburg or RB in this thread.
Yes, let's discuss important topics. Will my girlfriend get w1 tt in data science at Würzburg University?
Agreed. Forget about Ruuudi and Stephan and, instead, discuss girlfriend jobs.

Basically all Querdenker. Quality weighted Rudi Followets trump those from SH.

Why is Homburg the most successful German economist on Twitter? According to Twitter Rankings (retweets, followers) even the successful Rudi is only a Leichtgewicht compared to him. Homburg will be probably one of the most influential Economists in the prestigious Econ Influencer rankings (e.g. FAZ)
He’s not even an economist, just a bitter old man with too much time on his hands.
Insider here: Yes, he may have taken a wrong turn by now. But does this poisonous tone have to be here? Homburg was an extraordinary economist, he used to be a real prodigy. Anyone who met him a few decades ago can testify to that. Unfortunately, when he left Bonn as a young and highly esteemed economist, his star began to decline, I guess. Nevertheless, no reason to be so abusive here.
Interesting old article,thanks. Since I was once one of his students, I can verify that he was absolutely brilliant and highly respected.

The problem is that Hannover intellectually is "pampa" as much as Notre Dame.
Achieving everything in Germany really does not count for much internationally.
Being the biggest fish in a smallish pond is not that impressive.Besides, even by German standards SH did not exactly make a name for himself. He fizzled out early in life before starting his academic career. Rudi may be a mediocre economist, but at least he is an economist.

Why is his former Affiliation in Bonn not mentioned?True, well done for him. What that says about his new department is less sure.
Guy is just collecting cash, leave him be.

Audacity? Funny...
Best guess is Zurich. Still close to home for SE, considerably increase in salary, and considerable increase in department quality.
The audacity of LMU to hire them was out of this world btw.Konstanz/Bayreuth.
Where are SE and LB from LMU going?
