Week 6 – Mgr Econ

Posted on February 11, 2007 by | Leave a comment

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.

CELSOC-LA Meeting

Posted on February 9, 2007 by | Leave a comment

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.

A summary of the four talks.

I also made a few contacts with folks and made inquiries about:

  • A potential economic research project on public welfare contributions from public and private funding sources for infrastructure projects like this.
  • Possible interest in coming to our job fair for potential hiring.
  • Interest in students in the business program for hiring or for internships.
