Xmas break
After a busy year, it is time for the authors of this blog to take a short break. Chillin’Competition will be closed until 3 January.
As usual, I attach a link here to Waldfogel’s seminal paper on the economics of Xmas presents.
PS: I feel today like saying thank you. To our readers, to my co-blogger Alfonso, but also to my colleagues at university, the BSC staff, and last but not least, to my terrific groups of students in Liege and Lille.
The real, seminal paper on the deadweight loss of christmas can be found here: http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/blogs/freakonomics/pdf/WaldfogelDeadweightLossXmas.pdf
