Dear Folks:

I don’t know how to say this without appearing to be bragging. But I don’t mean to brag, merely to share some good news about my publication record. Hey, if I can’t share good news with people on this list, I can’t share it with anyone. Well, here goes: I have recently passed the milestone of 300 articles published in social science (mainly economics) refereed journals, and law reviews. I’m headed toward 400 such publications, as I have about 3 dozen articles that are forthcoming in such venues (don’t ask). My hope is that before I pass on to libertarian nirvana, I’ll hit the 500 mark. In any case, when I hit the 400 mark, I intend to share that good news with this list.

Here are the announcements for two upcoming speeches I’ll be giving on the west coast in November. Both are free and open to the public. If you’re in the area, please c’mon by.
