I'm in New Orleans, LA for the CNREP 2007 -- Second National Forum on Socioeconomic Research in Coastal Systems. If you check out the agenda you'll notice that I'm scheduled to present something within the next hour or so. I hope. Presently I'm curled in a fetal ball at the Royal Sonesta Hotel suffering from a bout of anxiety. I'm not good enough, no one likes me, etc.
On the brighter side, I've been scouring Bourbon Street for the sort of place that attendees of the Southern Economic Association conference in November 2007 should not frequent. I'll provide a detailed list later this week. In the meantime, here is the short list: 1. Bourbon Street.
As part of the scouring, I had a dinner meeting with Craig Landry, co-author of the #2 downloaded paper in MRE last year, Paul Hindsley and Paul Bin. While we discussed current projects that we are working on, our thoroughly developed presentations for the conference and traded notes about places to avoid on Bourbon Street, he made it clear that it was a gross oversight to not mention the name of the co-author of the #2 downloaded paper in MRE last year in my post on the Environmental Economics blog. I hope this post undos some of the damage done yesterday.
