With Krugman leading this august group, no doubt.

  The list of members of the NBER Business Cycle Dating Committee is publicly available. The chair has been on the committee since 1978, so even if Krugman joined he would not be the leader (and frankly the board would be insane to follow him rather than Christina Romer even if the older members dropped out). Please avoid creating easily debunked conspiracy theories.

    I was riffing on Krugman's notoriously low prediction rate --not being serious.

      I'm sure you'd understand why that falls especially flat in the comments of an article written by Robert Barro of all people?
