Shameless Self-promotion Sunday

This new decade will be a decade of Shamelessness.

Happy Sunday, y’all, and welcome to the first Shameless Self-promotion Sunday of the teens; I’m back in Vegas — but only for about a week.

You spend all morning shoveling out your car (especially… (Linked Thursday 2009-12-31.)
  • Why Kant Was Smarter Than Behavioral Economists. Mario Rizzo, ThinkMarkets (2009-12-18). by Mario Rizzo Â  Behavioral economists who like to indulge in normative pronouncements have decided that quasi-hyperbolic discounting violates rationality. In other words, suppose a person decides today that he will give up the hamburgers he loves beginning in 2010 (because of the high fat content). But then when 2010 arrives… (Linked Friday 2010-01-01.)
