GMU Econ Department All Over the News!

In case you were wondering what spillover effects are generated by the Patriots being in the final four, here are a few examples:

• Today in the Washington Post, an article about the economics department with interviews of the main professors, especially Pete Boettke sharing his views on economics and basketball (see here).
• In Slate, an article by Pete Boettke and Alexander Tabarrok on economics and basketball (see here).
• In the Philadelphia Inquirer (see here).
• In FoxNews, Radley Balko says nice things about basketball, GMU, and Mercatus (see here).

George Mason University economics department is one of the most interesting in the world. It’s getting more publicity thanks to the Patriots. This is great!

I think I saw something about the GMU, the win and its Econ dept, in the Wall Street Journal today, too. I think it's fantastic that a light is being shone on the great thinking being done there.

Though I'm leaving GMU, I'm very excited for the consequences the Final Four run will have on GMU's econ department and the university in general.

I may be returning, though, to study law at GMU, and I'm sure the entire university will benefit in some way. Who knows - by then, GMU's law department may be even more acclaimed than it is now!
