Do we really want to put every subject's job offer history on Wikipedia? Its incomplete and its not relevant. What's next, a blurb on the popularity of her hairstyle?
the discussion of the Harvard controversy should either be expanded or dropped. The reference to Alzheimer's and Faust is offensive. More importantly, this is a serious matter and requires some seriousness. Harvard's procedures mean that the only time outside faculty have input (through letters) is at the stage where Fausted vetoed the appointment. Harvard commissioned experts in Romer's field to evaluate her research. On that basis, Faust over-ruled the economics department. This happens all the time at other universities; a department tries to solve an internal political problem with an appointment to someone the profession does not respect very much.
What this means, in effect, is that Romer's peers at other institutions did not think highly of her research. To represent this as Faust being crazy is not fair to Harvard or anyone else. The people quoted in the current article are not in a position to know anything about this... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Volkswirt ( talk • contribs) 19:08, 26 November 2008
why is she no longer working for the Obama administration? Does this not deserve even a cursory mention in her article? 24.111.211.207 ( talk) 04:35, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
The text: "Romer showed that fiscal policy played a relatively small role in the recovery from the depression in the US, because taxes were raised in the US almost as quickly as government spending increased during the New Deal."
This is misleading. Romer's work shows that a large tax increase occurred under Hoover, exacerbating the depression. Roosevelt's "stimulus" was ground-breaking, because it had never been done before. But it was small by any other standard, and lasted less than two years. Also, Romer's paper did not include WPA and other direct-hire programs as fiscal stimulus, but today's readers probably would assume they'd count.
The text should say: "Romer showed that New Deal fiscal policy measures, though innovative, were very insufficient, and dwarfed by Hoover's tax increase two years earlier."
To quote a recent C. Romer paper: "My argument paralleled E. Cary Brown’s famous conclusion that in the Great Depression, fiscal policy failed to generate recovery “not because it does not work, but because it was not tried.” (Lessons from the Great Depression for Economic Recovery in 2009, available online).
