Edmund Phelps

On April 15, 2010, 77-year-old Nobel laureate (economics, 2006) and Columbia professor Edmund S. Phelps became dean of the New Huadu Business School, Minjiang University (first time hear about this school). Not sure what to make of this - yet - but will keep watching. (My initial reaction was that Prof. Phelps has hurt his own prestige by becoming employed by a completely unknown Chinese school, but that could very well be wrong.)
