What they're saying
- If I could only read two blogs each day they would be Environmental Econ and Environmental Capital.
-- Rich Sweeney - Excellent post, and a rare one on your site without any snark, sarcasm or puerile humour.
-- The Olive Ridley Crawl - Checking your blog is the highlight of my morning (well, unless I missed The Daily Show the night before, then you run a close second behind catching the missed episode). So, who needs the public affirmation of high rankings when you've got hordes of loyal readers?
-- Meredith - Are you sure you guys have econ PhDs? Something doesn't fit.
-- Bob Murphy - I can't believe you're an economist. Fantastic.
-- B Madsen - John Whitehead = HILARIOUS!
-- Mark C R UK - ... explains the mechanics of things with numbers and reason and insight. Don't be intimidated by the economics angle. It's never abstruse or technical. Instead, the tone is straightforward and forthright, at times bracing or breezy.
-- The Suzuki Foundation Blog - 10 Interesting Economics Blogs
-- Milken Institute Review - These guys have the self-confidence to call their blog simply 'Environmental Economics', and rightly so.
-- Oikos - ... [a] surprisingly entertaining site about economics.
-- Bottleworld.net
