Due to a large build-up of work, I'm taking a break from blogging for this Fall semester. But instead of simply letting Noahpinion gather dust, I'm turning the blog over to a team of young rising stars. Starting 8/24/2013 and ending 12/6/2013, Noahpinion will become Not Quite Noahpinion, and will feature the following awesome brilliant talented bloggers:
Carola Binder
"The Fearless Leader"
Carola Binder is a PhD candidate in economics at UC Berkeley. Her interests include economic expectations formation, economic history, monetary policy, and the Eurozone.
John Aziz
"The Troll Slayer"
John Aziz is an Associate Editor at Pieria and a freelance economics writer. His interests include monetary policy, finance, techno-optimism, trolling, and funny pictures of animals. He is the only person in the universe to have contributed guest blogs to both Zero Hedge and Noahpinion.
Yichuan Wang
"The Wunderkind"
Yichuan Wang is an undergraduate economics and mathematics student at the University of Michigan. His interests include data visualization, monetary policy, and the Chinese economy. He frequently does research with Miles Kimball, and also writes articles for Quartz.
Josiah Neely
"The Professional"
"By day I am a policy analyst at the Texas Public Policy Foundation in Austin, Texas. In my spare time I plot world domination (doesn't everyone?)."
Jeremie Cohen-Setton
"The Dark Horse"
Peter Dorman
"The Guru"
Peter Dorman teaches economics and other things at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, works as a consultant on environmental, health and development issues, and hikes whenever the rain lets up. His introductory textbooks, micro and macro, will be published early next year by Springer.
Guan Yang
"NOT a Teen Golfer"
Guan Yang is a graduate student living in New York. Before that, he grew up in Denmark, where he, among other things, wrote mass email marketing software and calculated option adjusted spreads for mortgage backed bonds (in the 40-100 bps range). He is interested in everything except most sports.
They will be joined in October by Peter Dorman of EconoSpeak.
So keep reading Not Quite Noahpinion! In the meantime, if you absolutely need my witty commentary, you can follow me on Twitter at @noahpinion. And of course I'll see y'all after the semester is done.
I'm taking a break from blogging for this Fall semester
ReplyDeleteI cried.
:-(
DeleteDon't worry, I'll be back like Gandalf...
Ah, so I guess one use of your time is not as good as any. Therefore, one use of your dollar is not as good as any? Therefore, one use of your tax dollar is not as good as any? Therefore, tax choice.
ReplyDelete~~who cares~~
DeleteTrollin' trollin' trollin'
ReplyDeleteThough the stocks are swollen
Keep them econobloggers trollin'
Trollhide!
Gold and guns and silver
They're good forever
Wishin' my FAL was by my side.
My Black-Scholes calculatin'
My true put will be waitin',
Be waitin' at the end of the Dow's ride.
Trollhide!
That's pretty damn good.
DeleteYou forgot the second verse ...
DeleteKeep trollin' trollin' trollin',
Though they're not enrollin',
Keep them Austrians trollin'
Trollhide!
Don't try to understand them,
Just moderate and ban them,
Soon all their nonsense will subside,
Socialist calculatin',
Is all they've been debatin',
Even where it cannot be applied,
Trollhide!
Not quite as good as the first...
DeleteI demand color-coded unitards with a noahpinion logo for the whole team.
ReplyDeleteIs "unitard" an internet slur for unicorns?
DeleteHopefully we'll get an occasional guest post by Noah Smith over the next few months, to keep us going?
ReplyDeleteWell, you know what they say, it's hard to stay away... ;-)
DeleteI do really hope you don't like your blog-free time too much. One of the best econ blogs out there!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :-)
DeleteEnjoy your break Noah. If all people downunder have enjoyed your articles as much as I then life is good.
ReplyDeleteyou are almost always feature in my best of the week I do on fridays
Can I just say as a Grumpy old man Carola is a fox or what you people say is hot!!
Thanks! :-)
Delete...And I'll pass the word on to Carola's husband!
this is terrible. why did you have to get a real job instead of becoming an internet hobo before getting a paid job at wapo like klein or whoever pays that other internet blog liberal.
ReplyDeleteMy coke and hooker habit was too expensive to support on a journalist salary...
DeleteGod, what a mess
ReplyDeleteOn the ladder of success
Where you take one step
And miss the whole first rung
Dreams unfulfilled
Graduate unskilled
It beats pickin' cotton
And waitin' to be forgotten
We are the sons of no one
Bastards of young
We are the sons of no one
Bastards of young
The daughters and the sons
Clean your baby womb
Trash that baby boom
Elvis in the ground
There ain't no beer tonight
Income tax deduction
What a hell of a function
It beats pickin' cotton
And waitin' to be forgotten
We are the sons of no one
Bastards of young
We are the sons of no one
Bastards of young
The daughters and the sons
Unwillingness
To claim us
Ya got no word
To name us
The ones who love us best
Are the ones we'll lay to rest
And visit their graves
On holidays at best
The ones who love us least
Are the ones we'll die to please
If it's any consolation
I don't begin to understand them
We are the sons of no one
Bastards of young
We are the sons of no one
Bastards of young
The daughters and the sons
Young, young, young
Take it, it's yours
-- The Replacements
thanks noah, come back soon
ReplyDelete*hand waving a hankie*
I give it a week before the urge to blog becomes irresistible.
ReplyDeletehahaha
Deleteyou jerk
But didn't you say that blogging only took you twenty minutes a day or something? Anyway, best wishes.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with your new post/mission! Looking forward to you coming back. In the meantime, congrats for the team assembled.
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
DeleteMy God, this makes me nervous. I didn't think graduate students had time to eat, let along blog. Yes, I know you (apparently) got away with it, Noah. But are you sure you're not corrupting the youth? Remember what happened to Socrates.

ReplyDeleteWhat course(s) are you teaching this semester?
FYI, the gentlemen in the picture would be blocking a bike lane if they were in that spot today.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't have a point, but I recognized the location.
Remember: Tommy Stinson of the Replacements is not the former Minnesota state economist (Tom Stinson).
