Now that football season is winding down, for those looking for a little excitement in their fantasy world, as is so often the case economists come to the rescue. The folks over at Research Papers in Economics (RePEc as they’re known by the cool kids) introduce a fantasy league of economists.  Seems you get to pick your economists and manage economics departments, competing against other nerds players for stuff like how many papers your team gets published, citations and bibliographic data.

Economists rock the world of tax reform, renewable energy portfolio standards , income tax and tax cuts. As we all know economists can be just as exciting as football players.

Fantasy football move over.  The economists have entered the market.
