For those of you thinking about majoring in economics, the economics department has a new building (shared with Kellogg) - check out the photo gallery in the link!
@Boothie007 Will Kellogg CPU also operate out of this building now?
@osuprof Not 100% sure. but I’d think so; Clark is way too far away for professors now.
Also, NU has been recruiting lights out in economics; they just won over a superstar junior economist who Chose NU over Harvard, Princeton and Yale:

^Interesting. Thanks for posting.
NU now ties with UChicago in USN ranking. Even though NU seems to be stuck at #7 or so in the USN ranking, its score is now only 0.1 from the #1 position, which is a 6-way tie. The gap between, say, Harvard/Stanford and NU is minuscule. It seems to me Yale has moved up.
