IN PRINT: Krugman Weighs in on Jobs Crisis
Tuesday, 15 November 2011
by Lauren Zumbach
Last weekend, Nobel prizewinning economics professor Paul Krugman took part in a panel discussion on the jobs crisis that’s hit Newark and other New Jersey cities particularly hard. Whether you agree with his views on the economy or not, you have to admit he’s pretty good with metaphors. A few favorites from his talk: On

Help this guy get an autographed photo of Paul Krugman

If writing that paper isn’t hard enough, try working the phrase “I smoke crack rocks” into it. That’s what Gabriel Parent of Carnegie Mellon University did for the PhD Challenge, deftly inserting the sentence into a peer-reviewed, academic paper published in Proceedings of IEEE Workshop on Spoken Language Technology. (See the paper here.) His reward:

Week in Review: World Cup Edition (June 7 – June 13)
Monday, 14 June 2010
by Will Saborio
Top of the agenda this past week: World Cup. Princeton alums had a hand on all sides in the run-up to the tournament, from coaching, to hosting, to lambasting on Comedy Central. More sports on the docket too, as some Tigers got picked in the MLB drafts this past week. And other stuff: Paul Krugman

Paul Krugman’s Six-Syllable Cameo
Sunday, 13 June 2010
by Giri Nathan
Get Him to the Greek didn’t do much for me. But it may have jumpstarted a new comedy career — I mean, to the extent that six syllables can jumpstart a career. In one scene, Russell Brand’s woozy rockstar character makes a Today Show appearance, and he is followed by none other than our own
Loudon Wainwright Sings the Woody Woo Blues…

It’s been a big month for Princeton economists: between everyone asking Alan Blinder and Uwe Reinhardt for their take on the economy/health care and an in-depth profile of Paul Krugman in a March issue of the New Yorker, it seems like everyone’s got saltwater economics on the brain. Including, apparently, rock-and-folk music legend Loudon Wainwright, father
How P-Krug Gets His Groove Back

From a profile of Economics Professor Paul (“Nobel Laureate”) Krugman in this week’s New Yorker: When it is cold at home, or he has a couple of weeks with nothing to do but write his Times column [but what about WWS 543?], or when something unexpectedly stressful happens, like winning the Nobel Prize, the Princeton economist

[UPDATED] Krugman on Bernanke: Meh! (Could Blinder Be Next Fed Chair?)
Wednesday, 27 January 2010
by Brian No
[UPDATED 1/28/10: SEE BELOW] When President Obama reappointed Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke in August (who was a Princeton economics professor and department chair before his 2005 appointment), his second term seemed almost assured and his Senate confirmation appeared to be smooth sailing–until, of course, this month. Public anger over bank bailouts and bonuses has

Week In Review: August 10-16

Much like its students–many of whom are finished with their totally awesome life-changing (important), lucrative (really important), resume-enhancing (most important) internships at McBainMorganWater & Sachs of America Madoff, Inc.–Old Nassau, it seems, is sort of vegging out the rest of August. You see, nothing crazy or absurd occurred this past week. But still, there were

Krugman: LOOK AT ME I’M SO MODEST!!!!!!!111
Monday, 30 March 2009
by Brian No
Princeton professor and Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman appears on this week’s cover of Newsweek, complete with an adorable (or “whimsical,” as one Press Clubber puts it) picture and a profile penned by visiting journalism professor Evan Thomas. Though the profile is an interesting look at Krugman’s role as a liberal critic of the Obama Administration,
