One of my favorite professors at Michigan (he was a visiting professor), Daniel Hamermesh is now blogging at Freakonomics of the New York Times. For those unfamiliar with him, he is the econometrician that authored the famed beauty paper which relates wages with beauty. According to that paper, the prettier the person, the higher the person’s wage will be, with all else being constant of course.
As stated earlier, he also has a marvelous blog maintained at Economic Thought of the Day.
