Back in 1986, I was a student at the LSE. Each day I read the Guardian and the Telegraph newspapers and learned an early lesson in media slant. The correlation between the news and headlines on these respective left and right wing newspapers was about .1. Today, I've achieved something that few University of Chicago Econ Ph.Ds can claim. I have published in the London Guardian and here is the piece. The editor wanted more on "climate refugees" and I supplied this but used my 500 words to discuss dynamic compensating differentials models and the role that the system of cities will play in protecting urbanites against climate change.
I guess I am part of the New Left now? While my Guardian piece should buy me some street cred in Berkeley, I still suffered some indigestion from reading this Dr. Krugman piece about the rational expectations revolution in macro.
