Notes on an Economics Graduation -
1. I would’ve loved to hear Al Roth’s speech about matching, delivered to graduating seniors about to go off into the world and match themselves.
2. Caroline Hoxby’s research is very very good. That she wins awards for teaching and advising is even more impressive.
3.They gave their most successful MOOC professor, Matt Jackson, a departmental award for … successfully teaching MOOCs. Fuck yeah Stanford Econ.
