Hi Trond,
I asked if it were true "that the EEA gives Norwegians the right to work
anywhere in the EEA (which the FTA did not)", and you reply that that is
true,
The figures on nominal wages refer to the "average worker" and hence are

perhaps 1%+ per year compared to a Konus (constant utility) index. There

The book I referred to in my earlier posting as "The Cost of Sprawl" was
written by a graduate class at Pace University (I think). It's different
from the official study done by the ULI (I think). The book's overarching
method is to compare various costs across countries. For example,
the
Paul Sweezy's first chapter in _The Theory of Capitalist Development_ is
one of the clearest and most eloquent arguments for basing economics and,
more generally, social theory around social relations. I would like to
make this point in my urban theory course next fall, but a more modern

The CPI seems to be an issue on the list now. This note is in response to

sites in Chicago were considerably less likely to be redeveloped than either
white
or Hispanic. This effect
Thanks to Dave Richardson for his discussion of the bias problem with the
CPI. This issue comes up in Macro and now I have a detailed response.
One quick addition, and Dave can tell us if I am wrong on this. The GNP or
