Intellectual Beauty
Tyler Cowen points us to a photo of the person he claims is (according to RateMyProfessors.com) the hottest female professor in the US. Due to the critical importance of this subject, I feel compelled to comment. Possibly the source has been updated since yesterday, but my research indicates that Myriam Mongrain is only the second hottest. The hottest is Dacia Charlesworth (a Communication professor at Robert Morris University), of whom I can find no photo.
As Prof. Cowen notes, most of the professors on the overall hot list are men. I’m not sure if this indicates that a greater fraction of the hottest professors are men or that a greater fraction of raters are women (or gay men).
Of the 50 hottest professors, 13 are in the field of psychology. Based on my own empirical observations, this doesn’t surprise me, but I have no theoretical explanation for why it should be. The second most well-represented field, which does surprise me, is mathematics, with 8 out of 50. (Oooh, prove that theorem, Baby!)
But…it appears that none of the hot 50 are economists. Can it be? Oh, surely something is wrong with the rating system….

Just a *teensy* quibble - Mme Mongrain is at a Canadian university: York University is in Toronto.
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this post is about you
Don't you? Don't you?
;-) ;-)
Academics are SO vain! They first compete on those silly citation rankings and now this. Is there no end to their hubris?!
Well, no.
:)
Oh, no, Dr. Gordon. I didn't "aim" my comment at you. Sorry!
It's all Carly Simon's fault. Her and her catchy lyrics!
"But…it appears that none of the hot 50 are economists. Can it be?"
Do you know of any good looking economists?
What about Katherine Baicker?
