The numerical example in Mondays's exercises made one of the answers too difficult. I have posted the exercises with revised numbers.
If you did not do the exercises in preparation for the seminar, I shall give you one more chance: hand your answers in to me on Thursday next. (24). On paper please, as you need to practice drawing diagrams on paper.
If there are difficulties, please mail me to make an appointment.

Please find exercises for the seminar on Monday under the new heading SEMINARS. You should do them in preparation for the seminar. Hilde
Sorry, I am ill today, Thursday 17, and have to cancel the lecture. Hopefullly, the seminar on Monday will go as planned.

I am ahead of schedule (!) in the lectures, so shall start discussing Rawls Thursday 17th. On the other hand, am behind with making exercises for Monday 21. Hope I shall be able to post them by the end of the week. Hilde

Please find pointers to the exams of autumn 2009. The texts themselves are in English and Norwegian. Pointer "ordin?r" is the regular exam, "utsatt" means postponed. H
Now posted: revised notes for lecture 2, with the pages numbered by request, as well as sundry other improvements. Hilde
Will those students who are not economists, and who would like to attend an extra seminar on the technicalities of utility functions and social welfare functions, please mail me not later than Tuesday 8 February. If there is sufficient interest, I shall try to arrange something. Hilde
I am most grateful that you accept my dog. (But please mail me or tell me direct if you change your mind). Meanwhile: his name is Zolo, he is 3 years old, and belongs to an ancient Norwegian breed called Puffin dogs (Lundehund). The name is because they were used to catch puffin birds (lundefugl) in the Norwegian archipelago of Lofoten. Now, puffins are a protected species here in Norway, so the dogs are unemployed.

The book The Spirit Level by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett argues that a more equal society is better for everyone. It has created a great del of both admiration and criticism. I have posted web addresses of the authors and of one critic; more will follow, I hope.
