Presumably there will be some day in the future on which Krugman, Prescott, Mankiw, Feldstein, DeLong and all sit down on some committee of the AEA together or review papers for one another's journals. But how do you do this after the kind of battle that we've seen over the effectiveness of fiscal policy? And you think that people have had their papers in the AEA despite being actually dishonest, how can you justify turning down the merely mediocre? best dd _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
