He was a leader in health econ in the 2000s, and then suddenly stopped publishing altogether after 2010. His CV was last updated in 2009, and the QJE r&r and AER conditional acceptance listed on that 2009 CV never got published eventually.
Makes me very curious, What happened to this guy? Did he just decide to turn into a complete deadwood? He was only around 40 years old in 2010...
Kenneth Chay: what happened to this guy?

Makes me very curious, What happened to this guy? Did he just decide to turn into a complete deadwood? He was only around 40 years old in 2010...Even more strange if you consider that the coauthors (Greenstone and Almond) also listed the AER as conditionally accepted and stopped updating it then. It's fine that something may go wrong with Chay, but how come all the authors abandoned that paper?

Maybe there was some fatal flaw with the paper that Ken was unwilling to overlook and threatened the other coauthors to not publish? I can see Ken feeling strongly about what he thinks are false conclusions.
