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.
