Democracy & Technology Blog Consolation Prize

Well, our favorite for Fed chair David Malpass of Bear Stearns didn’t get the top central banking job. But congratulations are still in order. Institutional Investor Magazine (sub. req.) has named Malpass the number two economist on its 2005 All-American Research Team. Ed Hyman of ISI was number one for the 87th year in a row (or something like that).
