NPR plays overrated vs. underrated with Banerjee and Duflo
Cardiff Garcia led the charge, along with Stacey Vanek Smith, here is one excerpt:
GARCIA: Overrated or underrated – being married to an economist.
BANERJEE: Underrated.
(LAUGHTER)
BANERJEE: Excellent.
DUFLO: Underrated, of course.
SMITH: (Laughter). What about overrated/underrated – dating an economist?
BANERJEE: I mean, if you’re married to one (laughter) overrated.
SMITH: I mean, did you guys, like, split checks? Or, like, how did that work? Did you run into any economic quandaries early on?
BANERJEE: We were pretty flexible. We’re not really money people, so we didn’t – never spent a minute thinking about it.
