For those of you working on your thesis

Prof. Golbe has suggested the following text:

Greenlaw, Steven A. ISBN: 0-618-37983-5
Doing Economics

The book can be found at www.college.hmco.com.

A quick note about the blog....

I'm anticipating this to be a temporary address / format for this website. There are plans to add an indexing function for each posting (otherwise this blog will get very, very long) along with the ability for many students (and not just the three to the right) to add things to the site. Feedback is both welcome and appreciated.

In the meantime, if you do have something to add (or have something to announce), feel free to e-mail me at fselck@hunter.cuny.edu.

Informal study group for Micro and Metrics

For those of you interested, a few of us are getting together to go over homework for Microeconomics (ECO 701) and Econometrics (ECO 721) tomorrow, September 8th.

We plan on meeting at around 1 pm on the fourth floor in the library. While we do not have a reserved space on the floor, we should be a group of at least four, and therefore hard to miss. Some of us will be there up to class time.

Time series and Industrial organization will be forthcoming.....you'll also note that I neglected to include the editions for the texts. This is intentional. Since the syllabi have not been distributed (and for the most part, will not be until the start of the semester) I add this small caveat - while I would purchase the latest editions available, I cannot guarantee that these will be the right editions used.

This site seems to provide the best textbook deals: www.half.ebay.com. If anyone else has suggestions on where to buy books, e-mail me and I'll post those sites as well.
