For the social good, it's probably rational to put really skilled researchers at top institutions so they can focus on cranking out research. But don't you all understand that there's something socially wasteful about the top schools (NYU, Princeton, Harvard, etc.) lavishing money on this or that researcher to pull them away from other equally research-intensive top schools? Especially when you know some other institution could quickly one-up you and pull them away in another few years?
