DRAFT February 24, 2014 Dr. Paul Krugman

'125:- j£t:� Dear Dr. Krugman:

I am pleased to offer you an appointment to The Graduate School and University Center of The City University of New York as Professor with tenure in the Ph. D. Program in Economics, effective August 27,

2015. Starting in 2014, you will serve as a Distinguished Scholar in The Graduate Center's Luxembourg Income Study Center (LIS). At this time, you will be provided an office and a personal computer.

I wish to convey my warmest congratulations and look forward to welcoming you to The

Graduate Center. Because of the extraordinarily high esteem in which your work is held, I am also pleased to inform you that later in the spring of 2014 the Executive Committee of the Ph.D. Program in Economics will vote to nominate you as Distinguished Professor. This nomination will be considered by The Graduate Center's Academic Review Committee and by several other university committees in October 2014. The Board of Trustees will consider this nomination in November 2014. As a Distinguished Professor in the Ph.D. Program in Economics, your nine-month salary will be $225,000.

During year-one (2015-2016), you will not be expected to teach or supervise students.

Instead you will be asked to contribute to our build-up of LIS and the inequality initiative and to play a modest role in our public events. During year-two (2016-2017) and thereafter, you will teach one seminar per year, the balance of your workload being made up of contributions as described above. (The Distinguished Professorship is the University's highest academic honor and is limited to about 150 of its approximately 7500 faculty The usual workload would be four units; one course equals one unit, and a total of five tutorials and/or dissertation advisements equal one unit.) Starting 2015, The Graduate Center will also provide you with an annual research/travel fund of $10,000, which will be made available to you during your first three years (renewable)

We will provide you with a

graduate assistant for 450 hours per year; approximately 15 hours per week. assignment could be fulfilled by two students.

If you prefer this

The Graduate Center will reimburse your moving expenses to a maximum of $10, 000, based on an approved estimate (lowest of at least three bids) within New York State guidelines. This moving fund will be available to you until June 30, 2016, although you may apply for an extension. As a member of The Graduate Center, you will also be eligible to apply for PSC-CUNY Research Awards administered by the CUNY Research Foundation.

Please note that The Graduate Center strongly

encourages faculty to apply for external funding, for which our Office of Sponsored Research is always available to offer support in writing proposals.

Dear Chase Thanks so much for this information and offer. I admit that I had to read it several times to be clear

and it's

remarkably generous. My biggest concern is time, not money -- and your description of the time commitment, one seminar per year plus public events and commitment tc:i LISJ��ch I would want to do in any case) sounds as if it's within the parameters I had in mind.

Because my colleagues and I are so keen on having you join the GC, I'm going to take the liberty of outlining the

framework of what we can offer by way of terms. Perhaps I'm being premature or forward, but I wanted you to have no doubt that we can provide not just a platform for public interventions and a stimulating academic community­ especially, as you will know, because of our investments in the study of inequality-but also a relatively comfortable

perch. I quite deliberately use the word 'framework' in order to signal that I know that details would have to be worked out and that I may be neglecting concerns that you have; if so, please do share them! (Of course all terms are ultimately subject to the approval of various committees/governing bodies, but I extend them with the confidence that comes from 5 years of hiring at the GC.)

Rank: Full professor (with tenure) as Distinguished Professor in the Economics Department (with a formal affiliation to

LIS,

pe r ha p s as a 'Distinguished Fellow' or some such designation). (NB: naturally, this the University's highest academic

ho n or which is limited to about 150 of its faculty of ca. 7500.) ,

Description: The typical load of a Distinguished Professor is one weekly graduate seminar each term, in addition to the supervision of graduate students. In your case, I would propose the following:


Year 1: No expectations of teaching or supervision; instead, you would be asked to contribute to our buildup of LIS

and the inequality initiative, and to playing some kind of modest (not onerous!) role in our public events. Year 2 and thereafter: 1 seminar per year, the balance of your workload being made up of contributions as described ab o ve

Compensation:

$22Sk (for a ninth month salary)+ a generous array of benefits, research assistance, moving expenses, start-up support and the like.

Effective date: As soon as you are able to make the move.

Dear Chase, Yes, it is fantastic! Thanks for the thanks! His email indicating "yes" was so casual and abbreviated that I had to read it three times (standing on Sixth Avenue) to be sure it was a "yes". � I am thrilled - for the GC, and for LIS, and for the now-worldwide discussion about inequality - and am just beginning to imagine the consequences of this excellent news.

Following an exchange with �lo ver the weekend, I have a few thoughts about implications for the US Center. I'll pull those thoughts together and send them via email soon. I hope that you and I can find time for at least a brief talk next week. (I'll be in Baltimore at the Meetings of the Eastern Sociological Society this Thursday through Sunday.) Am I correct that you return to the US on Thursday?

a discussion

about the TIMING of one speci fic step on this end.

Let me ask your view on this: Your appointment has to be put to a VOTE in front of the Executive Committee (a group of professors) of the Econ Program. Of course, that will be pro forma (they will vote yes), but it will almost surely mean that people will start to talk. So, why that step is, by no means, a public announcement, it would likely be the end of our promise of total confidentiality. Could we go ahead with that step?

Gornick, J a net Sunday, F ebruary 23, 2014 9.59 PM Paul K rugman Robinson, Chase; Lennihan, Louise sugg ested agenda for Monday's call at 1pm (and some language that you might find useful for

your blog entry)

Paul, Louise and I have pulled together an informal agenda for our call tomorrow. I'll pop it into this email. If you have anything you'd like to add in advance - anything you want us to pull together before lpm - send a signal and we'll get on it.

k t). For some reason, the HR Note that we need one thing from you on Monday: Your home address rules require that your letter-of-offer be addressed to your home address - even though you'll receive our letter as a pdf via email.

<!!:§

Agenda: #1) Let's walk through the timing for this week; this is what we expect: '" Mon - Louise sends you a draft of the letter of offer (for your approval and input) •Tues-Weds - We finalize the "package": your CV, 4 letters, a statement we are preparing 11 Thurs @ noon - The Economics Executive Committee votes " Thurs afternoon - Louise polls the GC Academic Review Committee (that finishes the process) " Friday- We have you down to come here on Friday at llam. That would, of course, be lovely, but we may have mooted the need for that meeting - by moving so quickly. Let's discuss that during the Monday call. #2) Let's walk through the timing, specifically, of the announcements: " We have our eye on your blogging the news Friday morning. Are you happy with that? • Our communications people will get ready and they will announce after you do. • Would you mind to send us a draft of the blog entry on, say, Wednesday - so our communications team can check that all the titles and small details match our vocabulary? That would also allow them to write the GC's press release in line with your own message. If you are in NYC mid-week, you might want a face-to-face with the GC's Communications Director? Or just handle via email and/or phone. Let us know if that sounds ok. (Chase, of course, jump in as you wish.) Best wishes, Janet Addendum: In case you are drafting soon, let me offer you some key local lingo and proper names. I don't mean to presume that you want to include even half of this'


In any case, as you tell your tale, if you hit on these elements, h ere is some official vocabulary: The G raduate Center (GC)

You are coming to "The Graduate Center of the City UQiversity of New York", or "The Graduate Center of CUNY"

https://www.gc.cuny.edu/Home

e

You will join the faculty of "The PhD Program in Economics" or "The Economics Program" - in the fall of 2015. This week, you'll be

appointed "P rofessor of Economics". (Alas, we cannot say so yet, but at some point during 2014-2015, you'll be appointed "Distinguished Professor of Economics".) https ://www.gc.cu ny.edu/Page-Elements/Academics-Resea rch-Centers1 nitiatives/Doctora 1-Programs/Economics • I think you know all this, but the key folks here have been:

- Chase Robinson, Interim President, The Graduate Center - Louise Lennihan, Interim Provost, The Graduate Center - Merih Uctum, Executive Officer, Economics Program, The Graduate Center - (Bill Kelly, whom you met when Tony was here, is Interim Chancellor of CUNY) -moi LIS I Luxembourg Income Study '" Assuming that you still want this, you will start to come on board a year earlier (however you want to say that ... ), as "Distinguished Scholar in the Luxembourg Income Study Center"; that will begin in the fall of 2014

(or earlier?). (You'll have an office and associated

creature comforts ... ) Again, this may be well more than you want to get into, but here is some language for now, for some other time, or just FYI: LIS' parent organization, in Luxembourg, is now called: "LIS: Cross-National Data Center in Luxembourg". Tony Atkinson is, as you know, President of the Board. http://www. I isdatacenter. org/ The LIS office at the Graduate Center (GC) - which we refer to as "the satellite office of LIS" or "the U.S. office of LIS"

-

is officially

named "The Luxembourg Income Study Center". http:Uwww.gc.cuny.edu/liscenter The LIS office at the GC is an officially designated "Center" within the GC. http:Uwww.gc.cuny. edu/Degrees-Research/Centers-1 nstitutes I am the Director of both LIS (the parent organization) and the LIS Center at the GC. At present, there are two resident scholars in the "Luxembourg Income Study Center" at the Graduate Center: - Janet Gornick (LIS Director; P rofessor of Political Science and Sociology, GC-CUNY) - Branko Milanovic ("Senior Scholar at the Luxembourg Income Study Center"; Visiting Presidential Professor at the Graduate Center) You will be the third, and with the nifty title that I made up for you - assuming that you like it. There are also two "LIS Senior Scholars" in Luxembourg: - Louis Chauvel ("LIS Senior Scholar", Sociologist, and Professor, University of Luxembourg) - Conchita D'Ambrosia ("LIS Senior Scholar", Economist, and Professor, University of Luxembourg) These two are the first two professors in the new faculty unit on social inequality that we founded at the University of Luxembourg (Uni-Lu). You contributed a letter to the proposal that funded that unit for its first 5 years. Tony oversaw the search that produced Conchita. These two just launched the brand new "Institute for Research on Socio-Economic Inequality" at Uni-Lu. The rest of LIS' "scholars" a re the several thousand researchers, in 40-+ countries, who use our data. On a more substantive note: 2


We know, of course, that you want to tell the tale of your upcoming move your own way.

That would, of course, be lovely, but we may have mooted the need for that meeting - by moving so quickly. Let's discuss that during the Monday call. #2) Let's walk through the timing, specifically, of the announcements:

• We have our eye on your blogging the news Friday morning. Are you happy with that? • Our communications people will get ready and they will announce after you do. • Would you mind to send us a draft of the blog entry on, say, Wednesday - so our communications team can check that all the titles and small details match our vocabulary? That would also allow them to write the GC' s press release in line with your own message. If you are in NYC mid-week, you might want a face-to­ face with the GC's Communications Director?

Monday, February 24, 2014 10:23 AM Gornick, Janet Re: suggested agenda for M onday's ca l l at lpm (and some language that you might find useful for your blog entry)

On Sun, Feb 23, 20 1 4 at 9:59 PM, Gornick, Janet <JGomick@gc.cuny.edu> wrote: Paul, Louise and I have pulled together an informal agenda for our call tomorrow. I ' ll pop it into this email. If you have anything you'd like to add in advance - anything you want us to pull together before l pm - send a signal and we' ll get on it. Note th � from you on Monday: Your home address �For some reason, the H R rules require that your letter-of-offer be addressed to your home address - even though you'll receive our letter as a pdf via email.

Agenda: # 1 ) Let's walk through the timing for this week; this is what we expect:


#2) Let's wa lk through the timing, specifica l ly, of the a n nou nceme nts : • We have our eye on you r blogging the news Friday morning. Are you ha ppy with that? • O u r communications people will get ready a n d they will an nou nce after you do. • Would you mind to send us a d raft of the blog entry on, say, Wed nesday - so o u r com m u n ications team can check that all the titles a n d small details match o u r vocabulary? That wou ld a lso allow them to write the GC's press release i n line with you r own message. If you are in NYC mid-week, you m ight want a face-to-face with the GC's Com m u n ications Director? Or just handle via email a n d/or phone.

Let u s know if that sounds ok. {Chase, of cou rse, j u m p i n as you wish.) Best wishes, Ja net Ad dend u m :

In case you are drafting soo.n, let m e offer you some key local lingo and proper names. I don't mean to presume that you want to i nclude even half of this ! In any case, as you tel l your tale, if you hit on these elements, here is some official vocabulary: The Grad uate Center (GC) • You a re coming to "The Graduate Center of the City U niversity of New York", or "The Graduate Center of CU NY" https://www.gc. cuny.edu/H ome • You will join the faculty of "The PhD Program in Econom i cs" or "The Economics Program" - in the fall of 2015. This week, you' ll be appointed "Professor of Economics". (Alas, we cannot say so yet, but at some point during 2014-2015, you'll be a ppointed "Distinguished Professor of Economics" . ) https://www.gc.cuny.edu/Page-Elements/Academ ics-Research-Centers­ l nitiatives/Doctora l-Programs/Economics

• I think you know all this, but the key folks here have been : - Chase Robinson, Interim President, The Graduate Center - Louise Len nihan, I nterim Provost, The Graduate Center - Merih Uctum, Executive Officer, Economics Program, The Graduate Center - (Bill Kel ly, whom you met when Tony was here, is Interim Chancellor of CU NY) - moi LIS I Luxembourg Income Study • Assuming that you sti l l want this, you will start to come on board a year earlier ( however you want to say that...), as "Disti nguished Scholar in the Luxembourg Income Study Center''; that will begin in the fall of 2014 (or earlier?). (You'll have an office and associated creature comforts ... ) Agai n, this may be well more than you want to get into, but here is some language for now, for some other time, or just FYI: LIS' parent o rg a nization, in Luxembourg, is now called: "LIS: Cross-N ational Data Center i n Luxembourg". Tony Atkinson is, as you know, President of the Board . http://www. l isdatacenter.org/ The LIS office at the Grad uate Center (GC) - which we refer to as "the satellite office of LIS" or "the U .S. office of LIS" - is officially named "The Luxem bourg Income Study Center" . http://ww w.gc.cu ny.edu/liscenter The LIS office at the GC is an official ly designated "Center" within the GC. http://www.gc. cu ny. ed u/Degrees-Rese arch/Centers-I nstitutes I am the Di rector of both LIS (the parent organization) and the LIS Center at the GC. At present, there a re two resident sch olars in the "Luxembourg I ncome Study Center'' at the Graduate Center: - Janet Gornick ( LIS Director; Professor of Political Science and Sociology, GC­ CU NY) - Branko M i l a n ovic ("Senior Scholar at the Luxembourg Income Study Center"; Visiti ng Presidential Professor at the Graduate Center) You will be the third, and with the nifty title that I made up for you - assu ming that you l ike it. There are also two "LIS Senior Scholars" in Luxem bourg:


- Louis Chauvel ("LIS Senior Scholar", Sociologist, a n d Professor, U niversity of Luxembourg) - Conchita D' Ambrosio ("LIS Senior Scholar", Economist, and Professor, U niversity of Luxembourg) These two are the first two professors in the new facu lty unit on social inequality that we founded at the University of Luxem bourg (Uni-Lu). You contributed a letter to the proposal that funded that unit for its first 5 years. Tony oversaw the search that produced Conchita. These two just launched the brand new "Institute for Research on Socio-Economic I nequality'' at U ni-Lu. The rest of LIS' "scholars" a re the several thousand researchers, in 40+ countries, who use o u r data. On a more substantive note: We know, of course, that you want to tell the tale of your upcoming move you r own way.

Gornick, Janet Saturday, February 15, 2014 1:04 PM Paul Krugman From Janet G ornick -- follow-up re: CPS historical tables onli ne; Lucas; other

Pau l, Th ree bits of fo l low up.

P u nch line o f this report: "Based o n this research co m pa ring i ncome d istri bution summary measures with and without data processing limits over the 2000 to 2006 ASEC period, there is little statistical evidence t hat u n restricted income have much i m pact on d istri bution s u m mary measu res. " So ... that's good. My q uery prompted him to write "We should proba b ly u pdate this paper with the recent yea rs." PS The pu blic use m icrodata fi les include additional top codes. That's o u r problem at LIS, but not you rs vis-a-vis the online tables.

#2) The q u ote that I was thi nking of but cou ldn't recollect is this one from Robert Lucas (2004):

#1) I wrote to David Joh nson at Census to ask if the on line H istorical I ncome I nequality tables a re top-coded o r otherwise tru ncated. This is his a nswer: Ja net: We don't use top codes i n the pu blis hed ta b les. H owever, there a re (or were) survey i nstru ment tru ncations and processing limits i n the recording of i ncome sources . For a deta iled d escription of the effects of these, see the pa pe r at http://www.ce ns us.gov/h hes/www/i ncome/pu bl ications/u n restrict颅 ta bles/i ndex. htm I Best, David

I s ki m med the report and found the la nguage a m biguous. So then David cla rified, and I'll summarize: This report compa res "published" results to " u n restricted" results ( u p to 2006). I n this context, "pu blished" refers to the ta bles you are looking 路 at, onl ine; they are s u bject to the processing l i m its. And "un restricted" refers to their internal estimates based on the fu l l data; mea n i ng not restricted by the processing limits. ( For the recent period, they have the raw data on i ntern a l files . )

"Of the tendencies that are harmfu l t o sound economics, the most sed u ctive, a n d in my opinion the most poisonous, is to focus o n q u estions o f distribution."

#3) It was great to see you yesterday, and we a re d elighted (as you know) that you have sa id, tentatively, that "it's a go." Of cou rse, we fully u ndersta nd that you n eed some time before you m a ke a final d ecision. After you left, and before Chase headed to JFK, he u pdated the GC provost (she was pleased) and he a lso told the economics Chair. She was also h ugely pleased . They and two other administrators (who will sta rt to i nvestigate the exacts steps to be taken) have been sworn to com plete a n d total secrecy (on threat of tonsil extraction). We u n derstand completely that you do not want word to leak out, most especia l ly not to you r colleagues at Princeton. So I, and Chase, stressed that vigorously. I say a l l this to add that I'm not 100% confident that there won't be some buzz. Two econom ics students asked the econ Cha i r "why is Ja net Gornick sta nding in the lobby talking to Paul Krugma n ?" (She said she had n o idea). And a Psychology professor noted to me that she was i ntrigued to see me "on the eighth floor" with you . (The eighth floor, I s u ppose, sign ifying the president's office). I said that you a n d Chase and

Would you be up for discussing this possibility (in the loosest terms) over lunch, with the President of the Graduate Center (and me) - confidentially, of course? If yes, would either of these dates work for you: July 1 5 or July 22? If yes, but those dates don't work, how about in the fall?

Hi Pa u l and Chrystia; Attached is one more item you might l i ke to see. It's a lecture that Tony gave at W I DER. He notes that it's "dated but Part II on socia l n orms seems still releva nt." PS Ooops ! I made a silly error when shorten ing my last email. I pasted in this quote (linked to Tony's recent t a l k at etu i): "Excessive inequa lity is corrosive to growth; it is corrosive to society... " As Tony just poi nted out, he quoted Christine Lagarde -- and it was she who said that.

• President's Reception - 5 :30pm Chrystia and Paul, we' ll meet you in the GC lobby at 5 :30pm, for the President's reception. (Tony, you may be with us already; more on that later). We' l l be escorted backstage at 6 : 1 5pm. • The "Conversation" - 6:30pm to 8pm GC President Bill Kelly will introduce the event. I ' l l introduce the three speakers. Chrystia will moderate. We'll close with a Q&A. The event is "sold out" - but I ' d be happy to put any guests that you might have on LIS' Guest List. Do let me know ifyou want to

add some guests.

It will also be live-streamed (http://videostreaming.gc.cuny.edu/videosl). And, at Chrystia's suggestion, we' ll Tweet the event, and she can take questions via Twitter (#GCinequality). • Dinner -- 8:30pm LIS will host a small dinner afterwards - for you three, and the GC President and Provost, and a few others from the GC and LIS; Branko Milanovic will also join us. Chrystia and Paul, do let me know ifyou 'd like to bring your spouses. We'd be more than delighted to have them. Tony, my

understanding is tha�ill join us (which is lovely).

As you know, I titled the event: "Inequality and Economic Growth: Paul Krugman & Tony Atkinson in Conversation": http://www .gc.cuny.edu/News-Events-Public-


Programs/Calendar/Detail?id= 1 5556 Chrystia and I agreed that she will urge you towards a few intertwined questions:

I hope that this is enough to focus the evening. Of course, jump in, as you wish - Tony and Paul - in any way.

• Does inequality affect economic growth? How? What is the underlying causality?

I mentioned a few readings to Chrystia and said that I'd send them to her. I'm attaching them here.

Tony, I know that you've addressed this in many venues. I did point Chrystia towards your recent comments (at ETUI): "Excessive inequality is corrosive to growth; it is corrosive to society. I believe that the economics profession and the policy community have downplayed inequality for too long".

Needless to say, none of you needs a reading assignment! My hope is that these items may be useful and might spark some commentary/critiques. One is old, two are new.

Paul, I also pointed Chrystia to your recent somewhat­ disagreement with Joe Stiglitz on this question: http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/20 1 3/0 1 1 1 9/inequality-is­ holding-back-the-recovery/ http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/20 1 3/0 1 /20/inequal ity-and­ recovery/?smid=tw-NytimesKrugman&seid=auto

- A 2005 article (using LIS data) on the question of the effects of inequality at the top versus the bottom. (Voitchovsky, Sarah. 2005. "Does the Profile of lncome Inequality Matter for Economic Growth?" Journal of Economic Growth 1 0 (3): 273-296, September.) Tony, I know you know this article. The punch line is: " . . . inequality at the top end of the distribution is positively associated with growth, while inequality lower down the distribution is negatively related to subsequent growth."

• Does inequality "cause" economic crises (of this crisis)? How? Why?

Tony, again, we know you've contributed to this discussion. Paul, I pointed Chrystia towards your 20 1 0 lecture in Luxembourg (that Tony and I heard) on this. • Other points:

- Chrystia suggested that a discussion of inequality and democracy would make for a l ively component. - I noted that the audience will want to hear your views on policy implications, vis-a-vis the causes - and consequences - of inequality, especially with respect to economic growth and stability (and mobility?).

I attach:

- A new paper (April 201 3) by Lars Osberg: "Instability Implications of Increasing Inequality: Evidence from North America." The punch line is: "In Canada and the United States, increasing economic instability is thus an implication of increasing inequality." - A new/draft paper (May 20 1 3 - in fact, finished last night) by David Howell: "Extreme Inequality and Growth: Recent US Performance in International Perspective." Punch lines: See pp 2-3. (David, a friend/colleague will be in the audience on the 20th.) Enjoy! Please call on us - me, or Caroline Batzdorf (NYC LIS office) - in any way. Otherwise, we' ll see you on May 20. (Tony, we' l l be in touch about earlier that day).
