Milestones (or, perhaps, kilometerstones)

This is my 17th (!) year as a professor. Perhaps surprisingly, it is just this past week that the first two students whose committees I chaired or co-chaired got tenure.

Great BIG congratulations to Miana Plesca, one of my (handful) of students from Western Ontario, who got tenure at the University of Guelph.

And more great BIG congratulations to Habiba Djebbari, one of my students from Maryland, who got tenure at Universite Laval in Quebec.

Both are wonderful people and good friends as well as very fine economists.
