Well, none of them are Chicago graduates, so what's wrong with it? They clearly deserve the offers. But the presence of people who have taken up fellowships previously and published well makes the current market especially tough.
Why can't it be true? That they are both at GSB now makes it more likely, not lesss, that the offer would be made so soon. Regardless, it is true. Like I said, I have confirmation.
7:04, I am assuming you are Cunningham (or his friend). But if not and you are someone in the know at Baylor, have all invites been extended, or is he just their top choice.
Heard through the grapevine that IUPUI cannot hire a non-US citizen because the position is a joint appointment with the VA Center. That cut their applicants in half. I also learned they interviewed 24 people. So, if you're a US citizen, and interviewed with them, you're chances of getting a flyout just shot up to probably as good as 50/50 if they are indeed flying out 6 people.
3:57: 6/24 is a 1/4 chance. But I said that of the 24 they interviewed, more than half are not eligible because of the VA policy. So if they fly out 6 out of the 12, it's a coin flip.
IUPUI is a joint appointment with the VA Center, which apparently has different employment standards (maybe because it is affiliated with the government?). There was some lack of communication, apparently.
Where are the rumors. So far the Wiki had some kid from a 3rd rate school as this year's hot property (with a grand total of two invitations). I know there is WAY more info out there.
You 3rd and 4th year students start spilling what you know and spread some of good job market karma.
As for me I am off campus and have no info about my department (25-50). I have zero fly-outs so far.
EEK! Calm down. I don't know if 3 (only 2 are academic) is good or bad at this point yet. You're mistaking nervousness for boasting, but I could see how we're all a bit hyper-sensitive at this early stage.
Trashing other people, other schools or other "tiers" is the #1 way to kill this thing. Be nice and people will be more likely to talk. Also once they feel like they are not the only person who could post about their fly out the more they may talk.
Also a good source for finding out about flyouts is the seminar/workshop pages of the departments.
10:59 - can you explain when a flyout stops being an "early flyout" and when it starts being normal, and then late? Is Monday of next week an early flyout, for instance? I spoke with one school who told me they won't meet until Friday to decide at all, and I've gotten similar impressions from other schools based on their follow-ups to my emails. Still, I figure there is probably a good rule of thumb.
11:03, the timing of the flyouts mostly reflects how long the internal approval process takes. If they fly you out, they mean it - the money outlay is not the main investment they make; it's the time spent with the candidates. A fly out is definitely costly to the department and always says that they're very interested.
I agree. A flyout is a flyout, and you should not be overly concerned about your order.
But... even before the committee has met to decide ranking, they may already contact their number one. For instance, the committee may all agree on number one, and then get together on "Friday" to determine the rest.
Some respectable lower tier schools wish to avoid the transactions costs of a flyout that will just result in a losing bidding war with a higher-ranked and deeper-pocketed institution. They may purposely wait to see if their preferred candidates are likely to place higher before scheduling any flyouts. Because some of these good candidates will lose a bidding war at a top institution, and therefore come into play again, some flyouts invitations even into February will still be to good candidates. This is why it is so important to keep your 'acceptable' institutions up to date about your search.
The questions about flyout timing are of general interest. Let's keep that kind of discussion on the "general" discussion thread. This thread should focus on specifice applied micro jobs and issues.
Anyone hear back from Georgetown McDonough? Btw, for those that interviewed with them, did you have the strange experience of the interview being more about them than yourself?
Did not hear from McDonough yet, had an interviw which also went pretty strange in comparison with others... didn't even ask about the jmp until like the middle of the interview
"..So before this year’s conference, I did an informal poll of about 20 senior economists around the country and asked a single question: who are the young (untenured) economists doing work that is both highly respected among experts and relevant to the rest of us? Who, in other words, is the future of economics? ..Thirteen names came up more than once.."
"..In fact, the least diverse aspect of the list of 13 — the full roster appears above — may be the way that its members have chosen their mates. Six of them are married to another person in the group.."
If there was a person on the job market who didn't even need press coverage that was probably her... so socially inefficient to write an article about her in nyt...
actually, the "caste" system is bad when the son/daughter keeps a position of power even though he/she is dumb (or dumber than his/her parents) - clearly NOT the case of emily oster
11:11 - ditto. Oster's brilliant. A single-authored QJE and a single-authored JPE before graduating from graduate school (which she did in three years time)? Sick.
Although that kind of publication record requires both brains *and* friendly insiders (esp. for the QJE club). Brains alone wouldn't do the trick in many cases.
I heard from someone who's used the data that Oster's JPE on the "Missing Women" of China is actually wrong: it's not Hep-B, but just good old sex-selective abortion (impropoerly controlled for) that accounts for the missing women. Watch for the article that overturns her work.
That said. Emily is probably still quite talented, it's just all the hype that gets to me. But stories like that sell and it's not like Emily asked for it... although it would be nice if all of us could get a job so easily.
Emily does not come here for sure.only desperate people read this blog ten times per day. ---------------------------- pot, kettle my friend. pot, kettle
Seriously folks, can we stop talking about Emily Oster? I get all excited when I see that the number of posts has gone up. "Maybe someone is posting about the school with which I interviewed." I say to myself. "How exciting and terrifying." Then I get to the page and it's 20 more postings about Emily Oster.
Maybe we should start a new page about Emily so you all have somewhere to go. Maybe we should start an entire economics tabloid so we can dish on everyone.
Did you hear what Steve Levitt wore to dinner at Heckman's?
Arkansas at Little Rock will officially invited people next week. Adjust your expectations accordingly if you were interested in them, and know they will be making invitations soon, but not today.
The wiki distribution of flyouts appears to be a little distorted. For example, a close friend of mine at a top 5 school has a number of flyouts to top departments; his name is only occasionally mentioned on the wiki (for departments that have published their entire recruitment schedule). He has asked me not to gossip about him, so I haven't posted his flyouts. This suggests to me that the wiki is creating buzz, not necessarily for those who have a lot of flyouts, but for those are a little, um, active in self-promotion. (I should mention specifically that I don't think this applies to someone like Emily, who is obviously a top candidate.) Just a thought.
Using the wiki to signal is probably a waste of time. If it puts information out for the rest of us, it can be useful. That's probably why it's at least a good idea to have "Yes" by a school if you know someone has an interview. This way, the rest of us at least know we are not top three at that school if we haven't received an invitation ourselvers. Until schedules are posted, I suspect that is actually the best use of the wiki - just to keep the rest of us informed about what is going on. I could care less about who is interviewing where.
Re: names in wiki I understand why people are not very excited about their names being posted; I would/am not be/* excited as well. There are, however, good reasons for having names instead of just yes. First, some schools do not call everyone at the same time. So, if you know there are only, say, three fly-outs to that school, you know there is still a chance. If there are six for one open position, well, it's over. The second does not really give you much useful information, but: if one has had less interviews then one has expected, less flyouts then one has expected one is starting to think: "What is damn wrong with my paper?" and, well, gets in a gloomy mood. If one sees (and I know someone who does) that the market is not particularly friendly to her/his field this year and that one (exaggerating, of course) has to have few AER publications to get decent flyouts, well, it does not change an outcome of the job market, but would not trash this person that much... Of course, there is no need to have names for that, only number and fields, but who would be doing this?
Just a reminder - if you know of any schools that have made flyouts, and that information is not reflected on the wikipage, please update the wikipage. Just take a moment to update that information. You can even do so anonymously by first clicking on the Anonymouse link on the wikipage.
2:25 - Baylor is hiring a senior person, though I don't think Lott has any religious affiliation that would make him eliglible for that job. I'd heard SUNY-Binghamton for a visiting professor position, though. But I'd also heard that was a done deal, so maybe that's not the case. He is unemployed at this point, as AEI fired him.
I see that someone has updated the wiki with news that University of Texas at Arlington has extended invitations. UTA was hiring for two positions - an econometrics position and an applied microeconomics position. Does anyone know if the AM position has invitations yet?
Out of curiousity - why does the most recent edits on the wiki-board say January 18th? Where I live (the United States, southeast), it's Wednesday the 17th still.
3:39 - Regarding UofL. There was a hire for an applied econometrics, with health secondary, and another hire (separate search committee) for a law & economics and Industrial Organization person. DO you know if the L&E/IO invitations has been extended?
Both positions advertised for Drew University fit two visiting assistants there almost perfectly. I think that search was rigged. I doubt anyone will get a fly out there.
How about the University of Michigan - Ross School of Business? It appears from the wiki page that they did call for flyouts. Any info on who they invited?
This may be a waste of my time, since if it's not been posted yet, no one must have the information. But the University of Louisville interviewed for two postions in Chicago - an econometrics/health position, and secondly, a law and economics postion. Does anyone know if the l&e position has flyouts? Thanks.
I guess I'm a bit of a pessimist, so I'm already thinking about the scramble. It's supposed to be anonymous, but do you think it'll be that way with this wiki? If anyone has access to the schools that are still open, you should post it for all to see; if anyone has the list of candidates still out there, it'd be great if someone made that public too.
January 31, 2007 10:21 AM: Rey, r u serious? "the token hispanic"?? don't take this personally, or racially.. the market, quite generally, does not discriminate based on racial grounds. that's based on what i have observed the past several years. sadly, i have no credible way of conveying this to you through this blog. hopefully there'll be a much better post on this issue.
Rey, I too think there's another explanation. If they're so negative about the job, it probably reflects people's experience in the department. You'd have to be quite desperate to want to be part of that.
I would highly doubt that they were doing this intentionally. That would require a high degree of explicit collusion on their part. And, before seeing a candidate, there is unlikely to be a consensus within the department.
That said, at my institution there is extreme pressure for affirmative action candidates. In fact, it goes so far as to border on reverse discrimination. That means that sometimes we bring in candidates with a prior that they may be a reach. But, we only do so with the hope that they'll actually fit well. I have *never* seen a department fly someone out unless they think that there is some chance that the person will be a good fit.

Offers for chicago gsb made to emily oster and jesse shapiro. this offer has been confirmed.
confirmed, as in the information is correct.
This can't be true: they both are at Chicago GSB now (as fellows)
What were you expecting?
sounds like inside baseball
Well, none of them are Chicago graduates, so what's wrong with it? They clearly deserve the offers. But the presence of people who have taken up fellowships previously and published well makes the current market especially tough.
Why can't it be true? That they are both at GSB now makes it more likely, not lesss, that the offer would be made so soon. Regardless, it is true. Like I said, I have confirmation.
Baylor has extended a campus visit to Scott Cunningham.
It is definitely true. Why would the GSB not try to keep such a productive couple of economists?
7:04, I am assuming you are Cunningham (or his friend). But if not and you are someone in the know at Baylor, have all invites been extended, or is he just their top choice.
Heard through the grapevine that IUPUI cannot hire a non-US citizen because the position is a joint appointment with the VA Center. That cut their applicants in half.

So, if you're a US citizen, and interviewed with them, you're chances of getting a flyout just shot up to probably as good as 50/50 if they are indeed flying out 6 people.
9:54 - what I have heard indicates Cunningham is just one of the people who has received an invitation. I don't know if they've contacted everyone.
re iupui: i may be missing something, but wouldn't 6/24 make your chances 25/75? :D
3:57: 6/24 is a 1/4 chance. But I said that of the 24 they interviewed, more than half are not eligible because of the VA policy. So if they fly out 6 out of the 12, it's a coin flip.
You would think IUPUI would have thought about that before arranging interviews.
IUPUI is a joint appointment with the VA Center, which apparently has different employment standards (maybe because it is affiliated with the government?). There was some lack of communication, apparently.
Come on people!

I am losing my MIND HERE...NEED INFO!!
I've been contacted for four flyouts so far...
6:15 - do you mind mentioning them on the wiki? At least can you mention "yes" in the column indicating flyouts have been sent?
Three fly-outs so far, but it's only Tuesday... I found out about my first one late Monday night. I am biting my nails waiting for more.
How long should it take for the first round or so? Until the end of the week? Are many of the schools waiting for the market to settle a litte?
I could also start naming my places (they're not bad) if others do.
TO: January 9, 2007 4:46 PM
This person must be from a "1st rate" school.
You people from top schools please stop boasting about your pedigree.We KNOW many of you are just waiting for a huge fall!!!
Please stop this nonsensical behavior!!Be respectful about people from 3rd rate schools.
This year on this rumor page, many commenthave been like this in nature.
EEK! Calm down. I don't know if 3 (only 2 are academic) is good or bad at this point yet. You're mistaking nervousness for boasting, but I could see how we're all a bit hyper-sensitive at this early stage.
Lets be calm here people.
Trashing other people, other schools or other "tiers" is the #1 way to kill this thing. Be nice and people will be more likely to talk. Also once they feel like they are not the only person who could post about their fly out the more they may talk.

early flyouts are good news as they signal a strong interest from the demand side
3 early flyouts are GREAT news

Imagine the number of calls I would've received by now if I had been getting this kind of press coverage.
ha... from 2.00P's article
"..So before this year’s conference, I did an informal poll of about 20 senior economists around the country and asked a single question: who are the young (untenured) economists doing work that is both highly respected among experts and relevant to the rest of us?

"..In fact, the least diverse aspect of the list of 13 — the full roster appears above — may be the way that its members have chosen their mates. Six of them are married to another person in the group.."
well, having Ray Fair as father definitely helps. This just confirms the studies on the intergenerational transfer of human capital.
Hi guys, saw on wiki that Oklahoma has called. Any idea if it's the Empirical IO position?
It says on the Wiki that Arizona State has called - is that for the AF or for the environmental econ position?
For florida state flyout, what field is it? Thanks a lot!!!
I know Florida State is calling for applied micro in general.
Arizona state is for all fields.
To January 10, 2007 2:00 PM ...
If there was a person on the job market who didn't even need press coverage that was probably her... so socially inefficient to write an article about her in nyt...
AND she is cute... life is not fair :)
This just confirms the studies on the intergenerational transfer of human capital.

Rochester Simon anyone?
Swarthmore anyone?
UNC Chapel Hill?
I saw on the wiki page that South Carolina has given flybacks for the IO spot. Anyone know if they've made decisions about the enviro position?
Heard from Simon 2 days ago.

GaTech Strategy position?

Perhaps it is not so much self-promotion as it is a tricky signalling game. After all, not everyone gets written about in the New York Times.
Question: what is the optimal signalling strategy?
Using the wiki to signal is probably a waste of time. If it puts information out for the rest of us, it can be useful. That's probably why it's at least a good idea to have "Yes" by a school if you know someone has an interview.

According to the Wiki Swarthmore has made calls. Anyone have more information on that, e.g. who, how many, etc?

Swarthmore has about 5 flyouts scheduled but may make more b/c they have authority for two junior hires.
Hot DAMN! Guess who is looking to make their triumphant return to academia?
None other than Mary Rosh herself is going on flyouts.
Question is what school would even think about such a thing?
I can't spill it all now, more soon!
This is why you read the rumor blogs!!
Oh gawd! "She" better ask for tenure upfront. Academia isn't the American Heritage Foundation, sista!
3:42- I had heard he accepted a visiting professor position at SUNY-Binghamton prior to the AEA/ASSA conference.
Any news on IUPUI (econ)? Or University of Montana?
I know someone who has a flyout with Montana in applied micro.
11:47 - University of Montana, right? Not Montana State. Just wanting to make sure.
Montana State is not hiring at the junior position this year, are they?
1:09 - Yes, U of Montana.
2:13 - when did your friend get a call?
Just a reminder - if you know of any schools that have made flyouts, and that information is not reflected on the wikipage, please update the wikipage. Just take a moment to update that information. You can even do so anonymously by first clicking on the Anonymouse link on the wikipage.
So where is young Mary Rosh interviewing this year?
My sources say at least one of the flyouts looks to be the Baylor Baptist Business School.
Looks like he found a department full of True Believers to give him a shot.
2:25 - Baylor is hiring a senior person, though I don't think Lott has any religious affiliation that would make him eliglible for that job. I'd heard SUNY-Binghamton for a visiting professor position, though. But I'd also heard that was a done deal, so maybe that's not the case. He is unemployed at this point, as AEI fired him.
2:25 - haven' you seen rocky 6? everyone deserves a second chance.
Any news on UNLV?
Lott's coming in early April, and it is the Hankamer School of Business.
6:01 - This is confirmed, or is it a flyout? Is tenure-track of visiting?
The info is all on the web site. I am certainly not going to say anything more on some blog:
http://www.baylor.edu/business/economics/index.php?id=23237
http://www.baylor.edu/business/economics/index.php?id=33290
9:55 - it looks like at this point it's just a flyout (if it's for the econ position).
Careful people... wouldn't want to get sued.
I see that someone has updated the wiki with news that University of Texas at Arlington has extended invitations. UTA was hiring for two positions - an econometrics position and an applied microeconomics position. Does anyone know if the AM position has invitations yet?
January 16, 2007 3:30 PM:
My friend got a call about the AM position, not metrics.
Arkansas at Little Rock has begun extending invitations. fyi.
Any word from Boise State?
Have people heard from IUPUI economics? I saw a "Yes" by it on the wikiboard.
Out of curiousity - why does the most recent edits on the wiki-board say January 18th? Where I live (the United States, southeast), it's Wednesday the 17th still.
I saw on the wiki page that Oberlin has announced flybacks. Are those for both the micro and enviro job?
IUPUI econ is for two positions - econometrics and a joint appointment with the VA. Does anyone know which position the call has been made for?
anyone have information on louisville and both the AM and IO positions? What about STony Brook?
Did anyone here from Georgia Tech (econ)?
anybody heard from UNC Chapel Hill???
9:03 AM - when you say "anyone here from Georgia Tech" you are asking if anyone here is from Georgia Tech of ir anyone has heard from them?
Has anyone heard from the University of Houston?
"when you say "anyone here from Georgia Tech" you are asking if anyone here is from Georgia Tech of ir anyone has heard from them?"
Sorry, misspelling. The question was: Anyone heard from GaTech?
Louisville has made at least some calls for AM.
Has anyone heard from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County? University of South Florida? Southern Methodist University?
any news on babson?
3:39 - WHAT ABOUT THE IO POSITION?
SMU has invited candidates.
3:39 - Regarding UofL. There was a hire for an applied econometrics, with health secondary, and another hire (separate search committee) for a law & economics and Industrial Organization person. DO you know if the L&E/IO invitations has been extended?
I know at least 2 people who have received rejections from Babson (Wednesday and Thursday by mail). Not sure if they have extended invites or not.
Just got a call from Ball State. They're making calls now apparently. FYI.
Has anyone heard of Georgetown (Strategy) or Carleton University making fly out offers?
Anyone hear from Georgetown (Public Policy)?
Does anyone know what is the salary range in a place like Mathematica or MDRC?
Regarding U of L again, I believe the position in question is the applied micro and health position. no idea about the others.
1/21 11.45am: I think 2 years ago mathematica was offering around $90k. this is second hand info, so i might be off.
Carleton, Yes
January 22, 2007 2:34 AM: Is that "yes" to Carleton College or Carleton University?
Carleton U
Anyone hear anything from Sewanee (University of the South)?
Sewanee yes.
Anyone heard from University of Maryland, Baltimore County?
Anyone hear from Drew University of Kent State.
Both positions advertised for Drew University fit two visiting assistants there almost perfectly. I think that search was rigged. I doubt anyone will get a fly out there.
How about the University of Michigan - Ross School of Business? It appears from the wiki page that they did call for flyouts. Any info on who they invited?
11:39 PM - I mean for the position with the Business Economics group.
This may be a waste of my time, since if it's not been posted yet, no one must have the information. But the University of Louisville interviewed for two postions in Chicago - an econometrics/health position, and secondly, a law and economics postion. Does anyone know if the l&e position has flyouts? Thanks.
Anyone hear from Washington College, Ripon College, or Lawrence University.
I interviewed with Ripon and have not heard from them.
Does anyone know whether the U Houston flyouts in the wiki table refer to the Applied Micro etc. ad? Or the second ad?
I guess I'm a bit of a pessimist, so I'm already thinking about the scramble. It's supposed to be anonymous, but do you think it'll be that way with this wiki? If anyone has access to the schools that are still open, you should post it for all to see; if anyone has the list of candidates still out there, it'd be great if someone made that public too.
9:21, I believe it's for applied micro @ University of Houston.
January 31, 2007 10:21 AM: Rey, r u serious? "the token hispanic"?? don't take this personally, or racially.. the market, quite generally, does not discriminate based on racial grounds. that's based on what i have observed the past several years. sadly, i have no credible way of conveying this to you through this blog. hopefully there'll be a much better post on this issue.
Rey, I too think there's another explanation. If they're so negative about the job, it probably reflects people's experience in the department. You'd have to be quite desperate to want to be part of that.
Has USC Marshall made offers?
Does anyone hear from SUNY Stony Brook?
1:15 - yes to Stony Brook
Rey,
I would highly doubt that they were doing this intentionally. That would require a high degree of explicit collusion on their part. And, before seeing a candidate, there is unlikely to be a consensus within the department.
That said, at my institution there is extreme pressure for affirmative action candidates. In fact, it goes so far as to border on reverse discrimination. That means that sometimes we bring in candidates with a prior that they may be a reach. But, we only do so with the hope that they'll actually fit well. I have *never* seen a department fly someone out unless they think that there is some chance that the person will be a good fit.
9:45AM, when did you get the flyout from StonyBrook?
Thanks!
usc marshall did make offers last week
anyone gotten a flyout to the New School?
I just started a wiki page to compile detailed offer and compensation information: http://www.bluwiki.com/go/Econjobmarket_offers
