Their 1st choice went to a better department, but hasn't produced anything. I'm more productive. Both departments had the wrong instincts.

Economist on "2 tenured jobs at the same time?"
Say you are good enough to be tenured at 3-0 type schools. Can you keep two tenured jobs at the same time? You can teach in school 2 (1) during your research semester at school 1 (2) and double your income.
Can they do anything against you contractually?
Economist on "UCLA finance hiring this year?"

Economist on "log(NAICS) is a scandal that everyone is simply ignoring"
it should be a huge embarrassment and a black eye example of the corruption of the job market process that such an utterly bone-headed demonstration could be set aside in such a competitive job market as the finance rookie market.
such corruption on display in this case.
where is the outrage?!
seriously.
Economist on "Structural papers take years to publish"
It will eventually vanish since no one will be able to get tenure by doing this!

Any thoughts about this position? I like the city, but pay seems low. Is this a dead end job, or do they have resources for research?
Economist on "One ranking of finance departments' influence on the profession"
The JFE publishes the number of reports and turnaround time by referees and associate editors:
http://jfe.rochester.edu/colab.pdf
http://jfe.rochester.edu/scolab.pdf
Since the editor of the JFE typically always follows the referee's recommendation (assuming the paper isn't desk rejected, which actually happens a lot at the JFE: 211 out of 1170 or about 18%), the referee has the influence over the paper's fate.
For 10/1/2016 through 9/30/2017, here is the Top 30 ranking of the number of reports written by ad hoc referees and associate editors:
New York University 50
University of Southern California 40
University of Pennsylvania 36
Ohio State University 35
Duke University 35
University of Chicago 35
University of California, Berkeley 33
Harvard University 31
Northwestern University 28
Boston College 28
Stanford University 25
University of Washington 24
University of Michigan 24
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 23
University of California, Los Angeles 23
Massachusetts Institute of Technology 22
University of Rochester 20
Columbia University 20
University of California, Davis 18
Yale University 18
Washington University in St. Louis 16
Arizona State University 14
London School of Economics and Political Science 14
University of Texas at Austin 14
University of Notre Dame 13
London Business School 13
University of Maryland 13
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 13
Copenhagen Business School 12
University of California, Irvine 12
This gives one measure of the influence in the field that each school commands. Of course, a larger school will likely have a bigger influence, so NYU and Wharton are obviously near the top. Ideally, we would normalize by the faculty size. However, that takes more work than I care to do, but I can normalize by the number of different people writing reports.
Here is the average number of reports/per referee by school, including only people who wrote at least one report for schools with at least 8 people writing reports (otherwise, there are a lot of schools with 1 person writing 4 reports).
Ohio State University 3.50
University of Southern California 3.33
University of Washington 3.00
Duke University 2.69
University of Rochester 2.50
University of Michigan 2.40
University of Chicago 2.33
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 2.30
University of Pennsylvania 2.25
New York University 2.17
Northwestern University 2.15
Stanford University 2.08
Columbia University 2.00
Yale University 2.00
University of California, Berkeley 1.94
University of California, Los Angeles 1.92
Boston College 1.87
Washington University in St. Louis 1.78
Harvard University 1.63
University of Maryland 1.63

Economist on "Department considering to tenure a glorified RA"
The dude has the necessary # of A pubs but has been the junior author on every publication. The co-authors have all been famous names. He never contributes anything of substance in meetings or seminars. He's usually silent and he has no individual ideas or solo papers. Tenure really ought to be for original thinkers, IMO.
