What the hell does Jerry Hausman have against Sousa?
From The History of Political Economy article on Exxon's approach to criticizing contingent valuation,, mentioned in this very blog (a Top 100 Economics Blog) yesterday:
"Some years after the [Cambridge symposium on Contingent Valuation], [Contingent Valuation critic and all around good guy*, Jerry Hausman] was profiled by Bloomberg as “corporate America’s favorite economist” and quoted to consider environmental economists relative to the economics profession as no better than 'military music compared to music.'"
*I don't know know if he is a good guy or not. It just sounded good.
