This web site contains reasonably up-to-date versions of my recent (unpublished) papers, the August 2002 version of my Mathematical Economics lecture notes and my diatribe on course questionnaires (July 2002).  First, however, an important announcement.  Our book  Population Issues in Social Choice Theory, Welfare Economics, and Ethics  by  Charles Blackorby, Walter Bossert and David Donaldson  is now for sale at Cambridge University Press for next to nothing ($43 for the paperback -- and worth every penny).  Members of the Econometric Society get a discount because the book is part of the Econometric Society Monographs series.  If you want to buy it (oh yes, you do), click on the icon below to go straight to the relevant page at CUP.
