Krugman . From Princeton to CUNY :)
Greatest career comeback?

Tom Sargent denied tenure at UPenn to making a speech in Stockholm on a 10th of December :-)
That can't be right - he was only at Penn for one year, 1970-71, after getting his PhD in 1968 and spending a year in the army.
Also, by May 1971, he had one QJE, one Econometrica, two REStats, one EJ, two JMCBs and one Canadian J Econ (which I believe was more prestigious at that time).

2004: Booted from Chicago GSB with no pubs. (Received BA in 1988 so likely in late 30s at this point.)
I understand why it's common not to list what people with long BA-PhD intervals did in between. But it's also a custom I dislike, this is the very useful info if you want to know about their personalities.
Curious, what kind of insights could knowing the BA-PhD intervals provide about their personality? Are you suggesting determination, things of that nature?
If you spent time working in banking odds are you will be a sly manipulative b@stard.

Fatih Guvenen left Rochester in 06 with (almost) no pubs. He went to Texas Austin and later became full prof at Minnesota with a stellar record. I have heard he may move up to Yale or other top 10 place.
He learned the lesson the hard way why you give out teacher evaluations at the end of class when people just want to get out of there rather than the beginning of class so people have plenty of time to share their perspectives.
