<p>Big win for Chicago</p>

<p>Greenstone has alternated between MIT, Chicago, and Berkeley throughout his career, so it makes sense for him to come back to UChicago when there’s a big opportunity for him here. Really, that’s one of the reasons why UChicago’s been winning a lot of big-name faculty members lately: more outreach, and a promise of greater opportunities.</p>
