from the editors of Lingua Franca's "egghead" column in SLATE: >Economic Star Power >The Economist's survey of rising young stars in the economics profession found that this decade's hot young economists are the same people it named to the list 10 years ago. "Where are the Paul Krugmans of yesteryear?" the magazine asked, wondering why so few junior members of the field have crossed over into the public sphere. The answer seems to be that the very youngest generation is doing work that is too technical and too mathematical to attract much attention or be applied to questions of policy.< Jim Devine [EMAIL PROTECTED] & http://clawww.lmu.edu/Faculty/JDevine/jdevine.html
