Don’t understand why SM is ridiculous. He is not worse than the other profs who are hired recently because they have top 5s.
According to Allen the clown you are a good economist if you have a top 5.
Sm will soon have one...
On the bath offer, there may be other reasons why he did not get an offer.
SM is ridiculous. 1 paper published in 8 years, and even thinks he should be up for promotion..
he's simply just not good enough, the R&R in Econometrica wouldn't have ever happen without his co-authors. people should stop just counting beans without putting the slightest attention on how those beans ended up there in the first place.
The lecturer with an Econometrica R&R was not capable of getting an outside offer from Bath....juniors with no options just need to suck it up and work more
