Economic Naturalism in today’s’ business press

Here’s a couple of articles in the Contra Costa Times using economic naturalism and some of the concepts from Kahnemann and Tversky to explain behavior.  Everyone will soon know how to think this way.

The End is Here

TS Golden Bear

The end of the semester is here. I have just completed posting grades electronically, and I understand they will be visible when the overnight update takes place.

I enjoyed the classes, and hope you did. I learned some stuff; I hope you did too, and that it might be useful later on. And maybe we had a bit of fun also.

Have a nice summer. Best of luck to all of you.  I hope to see you in the fall.

Last Day – Classes for you

Tomorrow is the last day of class in my classes due to my being out of town on the 18th.

I WOULD LIKE TO ASK FOR ALL HANDS ON DECK, AND PLEASE BE ON TIME– THERE IS A LOT TO ACCOMPLISH ON THIS LAST DAY.

In Mgr Econ we will have the final presentation, by Nick Lewis and Rosalynn Kim. I will pass out the take home portion of the final.

In ECO100(1) and ECO100(2), we will finish up the presentations of all we can. Folks will have to go fast. I have completed all the ECO100(2) paper grading and will return hard copies in class. I will send out the electronic grades tomorrow as well.  The ECO100(1) grades should follow by the day after Tax Day.

Bring your powerpoint on a chip so it is easy to get on the computer. it is hard to get them down by mail.

In Micro we also are having final presentations. Again BRING PRESENTATIONS ON A CHIP (FLASH DRIVE).

Thanks for your cooperation. I have enjoyed having all of you in class, and wish you good luck on the final.
