After a thought-provoking lecture yesterday by Daron Acemoglu on “Why Nations Fail” at Kellogg (if/when the previous link is replaced, you should be able to find the information on Acemoglu’s lecture here)*, I am soon off to Vancouver, attending/presenting at the 2011 Society of Labor Economists (SOLE) meeting. Looking forward to the usually interesting SOLE conference, and to what I am being told should be a great city!
* I also attended Al Roth’s excellent talk on “Market Design” a year ago, part of the same impressive Nancy Schwartz Memorial Lecture series; the more recent ones are all available in video format on the site; do not miss them!
