  • This is the Posner Hall David Tepper was a hedge fund fellow.
  • This is not Posner Hall. It used to be known as GSIA (Graduate School of Industrial Administration.
  • This 'building' is still named the Graduate School of Industrial Administration a portion of which is known as the Posner wing. All of which houses the Tepper School of Business.
  • Yes, GSIA became Tepper. Posner refers to the Northside wing. I know, I spend 4 years here working on my MS and PhD
  • I'm not sure why Kydland was the only nobel laureate mentioned, as he is one of nine associated with the GSIA. The "Idea Factory" is responsible for: "satisfice," with regards to organizational decision-making - Simon, 1978 "life-cycle theory" - Modigliani, 1985 "Modigliani-Miller theorem" - Miller, 1990 "rational expectations" - Lucas, 1995 "time-inconsistency," with regards to macroeconomic business cycles - Prescott & Kydland, 2004 “transactions cost economics” - Williamson, 2009 "search frictions" - Mortensen, 2010 several econometric ideas useful in empirical analysis of asset prices - Hansen, 2013 It is hard to say which of these contributions, if we are to choose only one, is most influential. If Kydland's ideas are thought to be most important, however, we must be obliged to recognize his research partner and jointly awarded laureate Edward Prescott. Anyway, GSIA Alum is correct; the North wing is Posner Hall, and the Southwest portion of the building is still called the GSIA. The building houses the Tepper School of Business. Part of Tepper's $50mm "gift" buying the naming rights is going towards a wholly new and separate building, scheduled to be completed some time around 2020.
