An article in the Journal of Human Resources about 10 years ago showed that having 1 article had a big effect on landing a job, 2 articles a little more, and then you get diminishing returns. The JHR articled did quality of the journal counts a lot, too. The bigger the better. I'm saddened to hear that the norm of 4 years and yer out is breaking down. Engineering schools still maintain it to no harm. What has happened in the economics profession? Fabio
