About meWhat do you do when you're in a mood to be naughty?
Generalize from a single datum. It scandalizes the other academics.

What do you do when you're in a mood to be nice?
Remain sober while grading my students' tests. (That's a joke guys. Also, what are you doing reading this? Get your asses back to the library.)

What's the kinkiest thing you're ever done?
Took Recursive Methods in Economic Dynamics as reading on a plane trip. (Although I was a grad student at the time, so, y'know...)

What turns you on?
Macroeconomic dynamics.

Whoa! That's weird!
Normal for my tribe, though.

In theory I’m currently reading



but in the present data set we observe a striking departure from the prediction of the theory.

Yes, it is true. It is also true that I haven't fully sworn off the addiction. For instance, I have sitting on my desk right now a [to me] new volume entitled The Philosophy of Economics: An Anthology, edited By Daniel M. Hausman. Now what I'm doing reading this stuff after having given it all up and becoming a practicing lawyer in 1986, I don't know. I guess it is just a compulsion.
The reason is actually quite simple. Several years back I was studying business at length, both formally and informally. That's what being employed in a large corporation can do for one. In the process I acquired a reasonable number of business books.

It never hurts to be "well-rounded" when one can pull it off.
Ugh, I have an unread copy of Stokey and Lucas on my bookshelf!! I read your review. I was at grad school at Yale from 1994-6 and we did tons of dynamic programming in first year macro, but I didn't do 2nd year macro, so I can't answer your question...
Well, I'm on a Macintosh, so it's 'option' b. If you're using a PC, I can't say. I adopted ∫ a while ago to mark tags that relate to where I heard about, or confirmed an interest in a book. Now it causes me some problems because the quick edit on the add books page converts ∫ into %u03C0. But it does work in the catalog and on the edit book page, and I've used it so many times I don't really want to switch.
