Invitaţie la bere... Ph.D. style
Recent am primit emailul de mai jos de la o doctorandă din programul meu. Două explicaţii: "Shay’s" este un bar din Harvard Square, Surie şi Matt sunt de-asemenea doctoranzi în politici publice.
Subject: Happy Hour Thursday at Shay'sConcluzie: Geeks are geeks in everything, even in the way they invite for a drink.We will be continuing Suerie and Matt’s Summer Research Project this week. For those of you who have forgotten, they are working on a collaborative longitudinal field study, using a revealed preference approach to explore the validity of the following "stylized fact": willingness to pay for ethyl alcohol by adult PhD students shows a counterintuitive increasing pattern that seems to contradict the theoretical prediction that a rational agent should have declining marginal utility in consumption of nutrient-rich beverages and foods.
Where: Shay’s Patio (We’re also trying to reduce our general level of pallor)
When: Thursday at 5 pm (a little earlier than usual, in an attempt to get some good space outdoors)"Guest researchers" are welcome.
