We look quite well here, and we have fewer tenure lines than many of the other departments...
I was curious about how “top 5” pubs are distributed across US econ depts so scraped some data for the last 10 years (but note data caveats below). Thought others might also be interested- some was expected, some surprises. Fuller data-

Super nice JMP from my student, Fatou, who even traveled - courtesy of a generous CEPR/STEG grant that she was awarded - to Mauritius and Senegal to collect raw data towards this study.
Ever wondered why Mauritius has grown 6 times faster than Senegal between 1980 & 2019, despite historical similarities?
In her JMP, Fatou examines the dynamics of growth of the two countries and their resource reallocation, and the factors driving them.

Some personal news:
Received a zero coronary artery calcium score today which is in the 0th percentile! I never thought being in the 0th percentile of anything would feel so great...
Moreover, the internet says my arterial age is 39!
Feeling accomplished!

CSWEP's 2022 annual report includes stats on % of econ faculty that are women. Big improvement since I graduated but, in PhD granting depts, still just 23.7% of all TT positions and an almost 50% drop-off from Assistant (33.2%) to Full (17.8%) (p. 26).

Just a few of the many reasons to apply to USC's PhD program 😀
Fantastic classmates, caring professors, 95% sunny days☀️, awesome food, bars in an active city, and the possibility to take a break to relax on the beach 🏖️ or in national parks 🌲
I can't recommend it more.

It's a strange statistic, but over the last 30 years I don't recall a single Ph.D. Econ. job market being described as relatively good. It is, apparently, relatively bad every single year...
