Sure, why not. Krugman could be lying about the reason for his departure. In fact, maybe he left to avoid embarrassment from the public revelation of his illicit economist-on-editor sex affair.
However, that's what might be politely called "unsupported speculation" aka "just making things up." Without evidence to the contrary, I see no reason not to take Krugman at his word.
- JeremyNT 2y ago> I see no reason not to take Krugman at his word. Why do you find him trustworthy? He's clearly got an axe to grind and lots of incentive to make himself look good on his own blog. Numerous times I've read blog posts on HN which present one person's side of a dispute, only to see it refuted later. I'm glad to withhold judgment here until more information is available.
