I applaud that editor. I believe there is a bias in editorial decisions in econ journals in favor of papers that “look hard” to produce. Degree of difficulty should be used to judge gymnastics and figure skating, not scientific contributions.

What a great choice for UC Berkeley. Rich Lyons has a deep love and commitment to UC Berkeley .
