Andrew Oswald and Hilda Ralsmark

No 269790, Economic Research Papers from University of Warwick - Department of Economics

Abstract: This short paper collects and studies the CVs of 112 assistant professors in the top-ten American departments of economics. The paper treats these as a glimpse of the future. We find evidence of a strong brain drain. We find also a predominance of empirical work.
