P. 212-214

When Paul Romer published his dissertation (with the one underlying topics being that productivity would improve if government policy subsidized the construction of new plants with new technology), everyone just knew that there was a new kind of economics to be explore at this point. But the Impact of Paul Romer on the world of Economics was not done, it was just beginning and continued after he was hired as an assistant professor at the University of Rochester.

    C for Tim for multiple grammatical mistakes.

    That's how the job market works for academic economists: everyone gets together at a conference and interviews simultaneously. For Romer to get 4 offers from top schools out of that was excellent. They knew he wasn't all talk.
