And yet people here can't stop talking about him.
German Market

Sorry, Stefan, Rudi is already twice the economist you have ever been. Sorry you are so frustrated that no one except Jana from Kassel cares about you anymore.
Serious question: why is Rudolph Bachmann considered a bit shot? I remember when he was on the market, he was indeed considered a promising young macroeconomists. Now, fast forward 15 years, looking at his CV, it seems fair to conclude that he didn’t live up to the hype. Don’t get me wrong, he has a nice, solid CV. Just nothing exceptional. For example, I don’t get why he’s editing a handbook on a topic to which he barely contributed himself. Or that he’s giving a keynote on fiscal policy.
He seeks the spotlight. On Twitter. In the VfS, as Nachwuchsbeauftragter, for a few years. In the press. There are many other researchers who are not Rampensäue. Probably, many of these researchers are better than RB. they just do not seek the spotlight.

Maybe, just maybe you don’t understand what’s important for scholarship?

Well to answer specifically the previous questions on the Handbook and fiscal policy: if you were searching for a macroeconomist that has produced own research with both household and firm level surveys and knows the literature in both reasonably well, you would start with Gorodnichenko, Coibion or Bloom, Davis. Those are vastly the bigger deal. After that, it’d be Rudi if those weren’t available. On fiscal policy: he has probably three or four published papers on it plus another working paper, two of which evaluate Corona measures of German fiscal policy. That plus his involvement in advising the German government plus his notoriety on the gas thing - is it crazy for a German research institute like the ZEW to ask him to give a keynote? It’s not like ZEW is that big of a deal anyway…

Come on. You are not serious Rudi. There are a lot of people who could and should have done this first after Coibion etc.

Funny thing is, Stefan is way more famous and significant than Rudi, even on Rudi's favorite platform named Twitter.

Quereinstieg als Gymnasiallehrer. Ähnliches Gehalt, mehr Zeit zum Forschen. Hat jemand Erfahrungen? Frage für einen Freund.
Ich kenne jemanden, der das tatsächlich macht.Zeit zum forschen hat er keine. Der Direktor der Schule hat ihn gefragt, wie er ihn ansprechen soll, wegen des ProfTitels.

Famous to a bunch of Kassel Janas. Lol. Stefan, stop embarrasing yourself.

Forschen als Lehrer-unmöglich!

Why?

Weil du so viel Lehre machst. Mehr noch als ein FH-Prof, von denen auch kaum einer noch ernsthaft forscht.
The Gymnasiallehrer I know have a lot of free time. Maybe not as much as you'd think from an outside perspective, but once you settle into a routine and stop caring too much, it's a decent gig.
I'd assume though, with the incentive to do serious research removed, you can no longer be bothered. Apart from the fact that you're also no longer exposed to research as much via seminars etc., even though in principle you could watch some talks online.
