CEA rumors

From Megan McArdle.  Austan Goolsbee may be going elsewhere.  This could be either good or bad news; in any case the goal is to maximize his influence.  The name Cecilia Elena Rouse is being floated for the CEA position.

Addendum: Alex posted earlier this year about Rouse’s important paper finding that education vouchers increase the quality of public schools.  Rouse was also an adviser for Kerry.  MR archives know all!
