There will be no more lectures or seminars.
The term papers can be collected from "ekspedisjonskonteret" 12 floor. They have all been passed with one exception. The exception has received a separate message.
Good luck with the exam!
Hilde
Change of place for the lecture Wednesday November 15th: new place is room 505 Eilert Sundt building, 14:15-16.
The text of the compulsory term paper is now posted. Please note that this paper is not meant as an exam, but as training.
It should be handed in not later than Monday 13th November 1500 hrs.
Good luck! Hilde
Slawomir will prepare the first question for the seminar Thursday. The other questions I leave to the rest of you.
I also hope for suggestions for topics for the last two seminars in week 46.
Hilde
I have revised the lecture plan because of the two missed lectures. The new plan includes a seminar on the social contract 2 November, and questions for the seminar.
Hilde
Sorry, I am still unwell.
Hope to see you next week!
Hilde
I am unfortunately down with a cold, and so cannot lecture Wednesday 18th. Hopefully, I am OK by Thursday, and will then give the lecture scheduled for Wednesday. But check this page to be sure.

The lecture Wednesday September 6th is moved to room 233 in Helga Enghs building. Same time 14:15-16.
NB! Due to construction work on the 12th floor, all the seminars and lectures on room 1247 in week 36 will be moved. New places will be announced.
Two papers have been added to the required reading:
Arneson, Richard J: "Equality". From: R. L. Simon (Ed): The Blackwell Guide to Social and Political Philosophy.

Copies of these papers will be handed out at today's (23/08) lecture

The main textbook of the course is Hilde Bojer: Distributional Justice, Theory and Measurement. Previously, it was only issued in a very expensive hardback edition. Therefore, the intention was to make copies available online to bona fide students of Econ 1230. As of August 2006, however, the book is available in paperback at the price of GBP 20. I shall therefore expect students to buy their own copies.
The book will not be for sale in Akademika, but on line direct from the publisher, Routledge. Practical details will be given in due course.
