RIP Bob Solow. Not only he left his mark the profession and at MIT Economics as an intellectual giant, but also building an environment where everyone felt valued for their work and ideas. Thanks Florian Scheuer for posting this picture of us with him (& Jennifer La'O) around 2005.

RIP Bob Solow

A great economist and even greater human being

He was a fantastic role model for young economists

I will always remember how he and Barbara hosted me and other PhD students at their home. And how he sent me a thoughtful email at a difficult time in my career

RIP

Thank you for posting, Florian! The four of us look like babies here. Alp Simsek Monica MartinezBravo

RIP Bob Solow. Many remember him as the giant in economics that he was. For me, he was still an omnipresent force when we were graduate students MIT Economics. Always happy to talk to us and one of the wittiest speakers I've ever encountered!
