I'm not in the Economics Department.

I'm not in the Economics Department.

And that's characteristic. There are no economics departments in the US that do complexity economics. I mean, okay, Blake LeBaron sits in an economics department at Brandeis. He's one guy. There's a few people, but I can name them on the fingers of one hand. You know, there's a computational social science program at George Mason run by Rob Axtell, but it's not economics.

And now in Europe, there are some economics departments that do this, but they're not the ones with a lot of status in the field, they're forced to publish in what are viewed as inferior journals.

I'm approached by perceptive young students who say, I'm not happy with what I'm getting taught or would be taught in economics. Can I work with you? And the first thing I have to say is, yes, but you're not going to get a job in the Harvard Economics Department when you're done. I do have students now who are at the World Bank at the International Monetary Fund.

They're getting out there at the Bank of Spain. I have students who are now in that side of things, but there's more open-mindedness there.
