I study the human capital development and firm-worker matching processes for PhD economists.This group is useful for this purpose because the types of jobs they hold can be easily categorized and they have an observable roductivity measure (that is,publications.)I derive a two-period model to motivate an empirical analysis of economist job matching upon raduation,matching ten years later,and productivity in the first ten years.I show that matching to a higher ranked institution affects productivity.I present evidence that employers improve their estimates of economists'ability early in their career in a way that determines longer-term job placement.I also find that the initial placement of economists to institutions does not show much evidence of systematic misallocation along observable characteristics.

"Submarines: An Illustrated History of Their Impact reveals how underwater warships evolved to become major threats to battle fleets and merchant shipping, as well as primary platforms for deterrent forces and crucial symbols of military power. In a series of chronological chapters, Submarines describes key developments in diving ability, underwater endurance, and weapons capabilities in specific periods, while highlighting strategic and operational innovations; the role of technological research; famous submarine events, battles, and commanders; and the impact of submarine services on naval society. The book also includes an illustrated reference section covering every submarine class worldwide since 1900. This coverage plus additional reference features make Submarines an essential introduction to a weapons system that has long held the public?s imagination."
