shameless self-promotion

2002-09-20 Thread Bryan Caplan 

I'm very pleased to tell you that there is a nice comment on my Economic
Journal piece, Systematically Biased Beliefs, in the July issue of the
Royal Economic Society Newsletter.  Though they get my name wrong
(George Caplan?!) I still can't complain.

  He wrote a letter, but did not post it because he felt that no one 
   would have understood what he wanted to say, and besides it was not 
   necessary that anyone but himself should understand it.

Wasn't that the name of the phantom agent in `North by Northwest'?

Sub-prime interest rates are actually considerably higher than prime
interest rates.  Sub-prime refers to the creditworthiness of the
borrowers.

As for predatory lending in general, I will defer to others.
