Another eventful week at work (last week). Two coauthors in town (Fabrizio Mattesini and Randy Wright) and three seminars (Nicolas Trachter, Mario Crucini, and
Fatih Guvenen). Well, four seminars, I guess.
Narayana Kocherlokota was in town to deliver the
Hyman P. Minsky lecture at Washington University. Oh, and
Mark Thoma also gave an interesting seminar on how bloggers have helped (or possibly harmed) the nature of economic discussions/debates (see
here). Fascinating stuff all around.
Mark was visiting the St. Louis Fed all last week (at my invitation). Of course, I knew that keeping him away from
Steve Williamson was going to be a problem. And I was right. Here they are at the Kocherlakota event, with me trying to break up their fight:

Things calmed down after I agreed to buy them both a beer; see here:

Ah, good times. But now...back to work!
