We’re about a week behind, and we have to do chapter 6 this week. I will need a volunteer team for problems from chapter 5 on Friday. Otherwise I will appoint one on Monday at class start.
This is a good chapter that builds on what we’ve just been studying. It is about monopolies, oligopolies, and free competition, with a little game theory thrown in.

On Wednesday Feb 7 I attended a meeting on transportation for intermodal freight in the LA area, which took place in Los Angeles. I made some notes on the four speakers, and obtained some of their presentations.

Next week we will begin by hearing the lecture by Derrick Ervin and Josh Frederiksson, on problems 4-28 and 4-30.
On Monday also, I will request a team for the next lecture on chapter 5, which will take place on Monday February 12.
ON WEDNESDAY I WILL NOT BE IN CLASS. Use the time to study. It is a good idea for you to be working problems from the end of the chapters we have covered. Problems for the exam will be like that.
We will continue talking about chapter 5, for the whole week, finishing it Friday.
After this, we move away from basic economics and discuss a variety of applications and techniques new to you. So now is the time to get the economic concepts learned.
