Welcome to the Summer edition of MariettaEcon

If you're new to blogging, just browse down the posts (and comments) made by my students this past Spring semester to get an idea of what it's all about. You are also welcome to sample some of my favorite blogs listed along the right hand side of the page.

Blogging is an opportunity for you to share your thoughts on world events with the rest of us. While normative statements are quite welcome, I would rather have you contribute positive statements that involve a bit of economic analysis. As you make your contributions, remember that you must include a hyperlink to the background material on which your posts are made.
