Yes, UW had some losses–that’s why they are hiring 10 new econ people. Last year they got two top people from NU and Chicago as senior profs. UW had some lean years, now it’s working back. But state U’s will always lose people to the likes of Stanford, etc. But those people also built their rep at UW which means they can find talent and bring it along.
