Brad DeLong links to my post on the obsolescence of New Keynesian macro, and concludes
I have to call this one for Krugman, Clark, Akerlof, Shiller, and Quiggin and against Blanchard’s vision of growing knowledge and analytical convergence
I’ve been reasonably successful as Australian academic economists go, but, based on my journal contributions, I would have rated the likelihood of reading the phrase “Krugman, Clark, Akerlof, Shiller, and Quiggin” only marginally higher than that of being romantically linked with Angelina Jolie. Blogging really does have its rewards.

congratulations. Also I note that as I read Brad’s post I didn’t find the list “Krugman, Clark, Akerlof, Shiller, and Quiggin†the slightest bit odd. Remember I spelled your name Quiggen a few years ago (of course I also spelled Akerlof “Akerloff” in the bibliography of a manuscript I sent to a journal).

Well, you were a contributor to CT well before DeLong and Krugman.

“Blogging really does have its rewards.”
having your name associated with famous economists? that’s nothing compared to this:
i saw in a blog somewhere that you were “romantically linked with Angelina Jolie”.
really! that’s a direct quotation! from a blog!

As the saying goes here, “you have to know your place”. Now you know yours ;-)
Thanks for all the analyses you’ve been offering us – I know of several scholars trying to catch up with economics who have benefitted, including myself.

you never know, now that you’ve shaved the beard off …

I don’t know–Ms. Jolie has never shown a pregference for clean-shaven guys–shaving might have been a mistake from that point of view..

There’s no guarantee that he shaved well.
And hey, what’s this I read from Carl Cameron at FOX about John Quiggin being romantically linked with fellow socialist Paul Krugman? He even cites a blogger.

The discredited ideas theme really needs a book, and JQ appears to be the ideal person to write it.
Miracle Max 05.12.09 at 4:57 pm
I will even contribute the title: “Dead Ideas from New Economists.” No charge.

or maybe “manual amputation”.
ingrid robeyns 05.12.09 at 6:13 pm
I’ll buy the book.

According to Wikipedia, it’s basically done.

I helped a lot, I’m sure. But it’s Scarlett Johansson that I’ve been linked to.

Re: 13, I didn’t get it till I took a look at John’s Wiki page (if that’s what you’re referring to).

When I do Google search, this post is now the #1 result for “romantically linked with Angelina Jolie”. Does everyone have their own personal Google, I wonder?

marilyn monroe was in my dream last night.
kid bitzer 05.13.09 at 11:59 am
sorry: no reason why anyone else should remember a footnote from ‘philosophical explanations’. (google ‘nozick marilyn monroe’).
it was just the idea in jq’s 16 of the private ownership of movie stars.
“no, it really happened!” “yeah right–in your googles, pal.”

Exactly how I feel. It’s interesting that blog posts often get more attention than many peoples’ full-length articles. Something about attention span I’m sure.

I believe “Personal Google” was a hit for Depeche Mode a year or so back.
