Post <blockquote>One of the few things that EJMR is really good for. Stuff like this has always happened in the Economics profession, but at least now there is a place for it to be pointed out. the consequences are quite severe. EO, for example, is now no longer taken seriously, thanks to the evisceration of her work after the various issues came to light. The same will be true of these two. In case you're thinking, "Oh but they still get an AER out of it", let me tell you that it is not worth it. Pretty much everyone will soon know that this paper is a ripoff and in the long-term these authors will suffer. People will think less of them, they will be less likely to be invited to conferences and special issues, and less likely to co-author with others. The more this stuff is exposed, the less it will happen. Bravo, OP!</blockquote>
