Andrew Samwick



Congrats, Andrew!

Here's what Darmouth had to say about it:

Andrew Samwick, a Dartmouth professor of economics and director of the Nelson A. Rockefeller Center for Public Policy and Social Sciences at Dartmouth, is the 2009 New Hampshire Professor of the Year.

Presented by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, the U.S. Professors of the Year program salutes the most outstanding undergraduate instructors in the country - those who excel in teaching and positively influence the lives and careers of students.



Andrew and Pete have now commented on my Capitalist Tools post.  Andrew insists that i misused the word "capitalist" and wants it removed.  I respectfully decline.

Besides..."tools" was the more important label.  Andrew, you okay with that?



Over at Vox Baby, Andrew Samwick really seems to be hitting on all cylinders these days.   Take a look at his latest on the federal budget aspects of the Bush State of the Union Address.

 Andrew Samwick makes a strong case in today's Washington Post for why the fiscal stimulus working its way through the legislative process may well be the wrong policy.

 Of all the things I've seen written about Greenspan's book, Andrew Samwick at Vox Baby really seems to have it right.
