I have written that Bob Lucas was the best writer in the profession and offering some examples. Ben Moll improves on this by offering his own work, before and after Lucas' comments. Read his thread to learn how to write sentences that propel the argument forward.
RT @ben_moll: Here is my little Bob Lucas anecdote.
It's about Bob's incredible gift as a writer and his generosity toward his students.
It's the fall of 2009 and I'm a grad student at the University o…

Wow, RFK in 1968 (3 months before his assassination) about what GDP measures and what it does not measure. Quite impressive level for an electoral campaign (even outside of it!).

"Brexit has failed ", Nigel Farage.
No more questions, your honor.
Time to start undoing the damage and rebuilding the single market.
RT @mikegalsworthy: 🔥 Extraordinary moment.
Nigel Farage just said on Newsnight: “Brexit has failed”
He volunteered that himself. I also recall him once saying that if Brexit turned out to be a failure, he’d leave the country. I very much look forward to that.

Do you want to see for yourself:
1) how great a writer Bob Lucas was
2) his view on what economists do
3) a simple, non-math model of a monetary shock?
Then read his fantastic parable of a monetary shock in an amusement park.

Rob Shimer, the Chair of @UChicago 's Econ Department e-mail announcing to the department Robert Lucas passing explains wonderfully how important was his contribution to Macroeconomics. I post it with his permission, with the caveat that it was meant for Lucas' collegues here.

RT @HansbergRossi: Such a sad day. Bob Lucas, the most important economist in modern macroeconomics, and certainly the most important economist in my life, died today. He was such a deep and honest thinker. He was such a helpful and caring mentor. I owe him so much. Farewell Bob. Thank you.

My paper with @johnvanreenen and Claire Lelarge in the AER, and a lot of my research with Esteban Rossi-Hansberg on the knowledge economy, owes a debt to this pathbraking paper
My intellectual debt with Bob Lucas is huge.

That was his intensity. He was always learning, always trying to figure out the next problem. And few people did as much to advance economics.

He was very disappointed, almost upset, by my answer:
"Ideas are hard. What you do not understand takes over your life. You puzzle over it, you cannot sleep until you solve it. This is not a game you enjoy. This is a challenge that obsesses you." He said.

Lucas approach me, asked me how I was doing.
I said after two brutal years, I was very happy. I was enjoying thinking about ideas, about which problem I would tackle for my dissertation, reading a lot and learning a lot, trying to figure out the next step.
