If I remember correctly, Romer anticipates the concerns about excessive portability by advocating traineeships that departments would apply for. I'll dig into that on the next post.
I am in fact planning to tally where the NSF and NIH graduate fellows end up as part of the rankings stuff. Stay tuned - it'll happen over the summer.
Remember, Romer isn't advocating controlling PhD production - he wants to increase it and is looking for the most efficient way possible. It's a different problem.
