Social Econ Blog

For Tuesday, I would like you to read two papers. Charles Manski's "Economic Analysis of Social Interactions" and Ed Glaeser's "Psychology and the Market." You should be able to find these papers on your own. These papers provide some key tools which we will use throughout the rest of the semester, so please read them before class.

For the email assignment, please email me a list of groups you consider yourself to be a part of and briefly discuss how your affiliation with that group affects your choices (i.e., how do you think your behavior would differ if you were not a part of that group?).

Also, remember to order/purchase Leil Lowndes How to Talk to Anyone. We'll need it for our discussion of social skills in a few weeks.
