*That's* what degrades your opinion? Take Marshall out and I still roll my eyes at Noah.

it's icing on the cake
^ His methodology is pretty terrible and he clearly is interested in a particular conclusion.
On the other hand, you could say that mainstream structural IO has shot itself in the foot by becoming so arcane and weird and bereft of any shred of pragmatism or broader interest. This leaves a big opening to be filled, sometimes by shady characters like Steinbaum.
I agree that Noah's active encouragement of Marshall actually strongly erodes my opinion of Noah. Most of the time Noah comes across as intellectually honest, even if all his conclusions are politically motivated. The support of Marshall reveals the intellectual honesty to be a facade.
He hasn't???? He's been in the think tank world for 5 years where his only expectation is to write. No classes to teach, no committees to serve on. Just write. And he produced a big fat zero.
He hasn’t been paid to write research until now. So judge him after a few years. I suspect this move will increase his work on antitrust and monopsony.
