RE: This year econ nobel prize?

For some reason I didn't get this message until Wednesday, Oct 11, 2000.
I'll take a safe "guess" the James "Heckit" Heckman and Daniel "Don't call
me Janice" McFadden are shoo-ins :-)  How can Prof. Baumol continuously be
ignored by this so-called august Committee.  Neither Heckman or McFadden
combined have had the theoretical impact on economics as Bill Baumol or
Albert Hirschman  Am I alone in my thinking about Baumol/Hirschman as the
most deserving economists without a Nobel Prize on their c.v.?

Is that feasible?

For anyone at Mason, and anyone who responded on Thursday, there is no

I would add Harold Demsetz to the list of deserving candidates.

Napster article by David K. Levine

2000-10-12 Thread doug bennett 

I have been away from the list for a while, so excuse
me if Napster has been discussed to death. I was
surprised to find this article by someone knowlegable
on Economics.
http://levine.sscnet.ucla.edu/general/napster.htm

I was going to send my rebuttal, but perhaps it has
allready been done, and better, by someone else?
