David Neumark

[Michael Perelman <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Does anybody here know David Neumark of Michigan State?  The recent
issue of business week says that he has changed his mind about living
wage policies, and perhaps even the minimum wage -- the magazine was not
clear.

Neumark was publishing stuff for a policy front for the fast food
industry.  Some studies at EPI pretty well demolished it, but most
economists would regroup and explain away the problems.

Is this really a case of an economist learning and changing his mind?
If so, it would be a remarkable event.
