I'm going to Hilton Head

Field Research. To most, these two words suggestion rest and relaxation. But no, to me, it suggests a trip away from the office to investigate first hand the types of environments and activities that  environmental economists must thoroughly understand in order to develop realistic models. You may not have a deep understanding of the econometric models, ahem, but if you go to the beach often enough you might actually understand beachy behavior. Hence, I'm preparing for a beach trip. No heavy blogging but I will be sharing some pictures from last weeks field research (e.g., a bison's ass) and some beach pictures (e.g., Hilton Head's 2006-07 beach nourishment project).
