Academic Influence

 

I have just learned about a fascinating web site, called Academic Influence.  It ranks individual people and schools by academic influence using a sophisticated artificial intelligence algorithm.  It does so in all academic fields.  You might want to play with it to look up some economists.  It is very revealing:

https://academicinfluence.com/

To find me, make sure to use my middle initial A to avoid confusing me with William P. Barnett at Stanford.  For example, here is my ranking (as #517 in the world in economics).

You might be surprised (and possibly shocked, as I was) by what you will find, if you look up other economists you know.

Businessweek Article

An article about my book, Getting It Wrong, just appeared in Bloomberg Businessweek's April 1-7, 2013 issue on pp. 18-19.  The title of the article is The Fed May be Miscounting the Money.  Peter Coy, the author of the article and economics editor of the magazine, unfortunately neglected to mention that interest rates for the past three years have been constant at near zero, so could not possibly have had explanatory value about the extreme volatility of the economy during those years.  Otherwise the article does an excellent job of extracting important matters from a very technical literature and succeeds in making the subject widely accessible.

The article also appears in the magazine's online edition and has been translated into Chinese.

First Book Review of Getting It Wrong

The first book review of my new MIT Press book, Getting It Wrong, just appeared from Bloomberg News. The reviewer, Jim Pressley in Belgium, is not an economist; and some of the jargon is inaccurate, such as the statement about "money actually spent." At the end, he drifted off into the usual stuff about greed and irrationality. Unfortunately his review makes no mention of the Center for Financial Stability, my position there, or the highly relevant data provided there.

But on balance, the review is positive.

Kindle Edition Best Seller

The book, Getting It Wrong, now is available from Amazon as a Kindle Edition, and already is on the Kindle bestsellers lists for both Econometrics and for Money and Monetary Policy.
