I'm a PhD student in Economics and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University. My research interests are the economic and policy implications of discrimination.
If you're so inclined, you can read a little about my current research or take a look at my CV.
If you're looking for me on the Carnegie Mellon campus, you're most likely to find me at 238 Hamburg Hall. You might also try local coffee shops, if you're desperate. More realistically, you can reach me via johngardner at cmu dot edu.
Old-school economics. I am compiling a list of electronically available old-school economics texts. These are historical economics texts by the likes of Adam Smith, Francis Edgeworth, etc.
Software. I have a few software recommendations for researchers. The Crimson Editor is a free and highly capable all-purpose programmer's editor. JabRef is a free (and cross-platform) bibliographic management application that uses BibTeX as its native format. WinEdt is a (commercial) LaTeX source editor that makes writing papers in TeX a friendlier process. For more, see Alan Isaac's comprehensive Software for economists page.
