Naked self-promotion article

This article is about as close to a snake oil consultant's marketing brochure as I've seen in Wikipedia. If Prof. Romer wants to be taken seriously as a scholar, he needs to jettison the "thinks his ideas are so important that he quit his academic day job" fluff. Turns out he's going / has gone back to full-time academic work in 2011. If Prof. Romer is Nobel material, this article is an «epic» fail. Dstlascaux (talk) 03:24, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Candidate for the Nobel Prize

I don't think this entry should state that he's considered a candidate for the Nobel Prize. We are not dealing here with hypothetical futures. Let's stick to what has already transpired. Tkeu 11:01, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- - Addition proposal: his work on 'Charter Cities' ***

Paul Romer has exposed a new idea through Ted Talks, perhaps someone would like to add this to this page. The idea is basically about building new cities with new rules (Mr. Romer calls them 'Charter Cities') which I find extremely important to mention in this page since this will occupy an important part of Mr. Romer's agenda.

If you wish to watch the video where he exposes his new and brilliant idea, visit http://www.ted.com/talks/paul_romer.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.178.52.223 (talk) 03:18, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Paul Romer's work is careless (which, of course, is no obstacle to winning prizes in economics). See, for example, M. Park, Homogenity Masquerading as Variety: The Case of Horizontal Innovation Models", Cambridge Journal of Economics and Ian Steedman "On 'Measuring' Knowledge in New (Endogenous) Growth Theory", in Old and New Growth Theories: An Assessment. 209.217.195.121 (talk) 15:19, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And yet he's now chief economist at the World Bank, while you're an anonymous IP on Wikipedia.AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 21:18, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
