Leeper leaving Indiana University

After reading the comments of this threads, I don't understand why Leeper generates so much hate on this board. Is it because you guys are jealous of him? I am not kidding when I say that FTPL could get him the Nobel Prize in Economics. It is a powerful and original idea.

Lol, oh my sides

UVA macro has been doing very well actually, now having Leeper, Korinek, Wincoop, Young, Bethune, Saffe, etc. If you include people from the Richmond Fed, it is actually a very strong macro group.
Is UVA regretting this decision already? Just saying.
Well, you have to discount a couple of dinosaurs on your list, but it’s not bad for a top 40 school

Beckworth: So you had Chris Sims who has also written on the fiscal theory of the price level. So did you get that inspiration from him or was it a collaborative effort?
Leeper: Well, he had an old paper that I'm sure nobody has read because it was in the appendix to an annex of a door stop book published by Brookings Institution edited by Ralph Bryant for whom I was a research assistant before I went to grad school. And that really got me thinking about the stuff in a serious way. So it's not that we collaborated except to the extent that we had lots of conversations. But when I wrote my dissertation, which really was a more elaborate version of what ultimately got published, I just did that in isolation. It was a weird experience. And then I delivered my finished dissertation to my committee.
