Although the blog The Perfect Substitute has been mentioned on DOL before, I wanted to draw your attention to it again. Good friend and co-author Justin Ross * has recently joined the blog, resulting in a flurry of interesting posts by all members of the blog. See, for example, the posts on "Which Economic Theory is the Most Underappreciated?", "What is the Optimal Level of Gold-Digging?," and "Campus Shootings and Corner Solutions."

* A January 2008 WVU economics Ph.D., Justin starts as an Assistant Professor of Public Finance in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University-Bloomington - a top 3 Public Affairs program according to U.S. News and World Report. I mention this not only to congratulate Justin, but to point out the types of jobs one can get with a WVU Ph.D. and an active research program. Students, take note!
