Welcome Guests
Thursday, March 9th, 2006 by Ed FeltenWelcome to the non-student guests who are joining us here.
Feel free to post (constructive and civil) comments on any student post. I hope we have an open and vigorous discussion, and I welcome respectful debate. But my goal as a teacher must be to serve the students enrolled in the course, so I reserve the right to block comments or commenters if I decide they are detracting from the students’ experience.
You’re welcome to participate in this course vicariously by doing the same weekly reading as the students and joining in a weekly discussion thread about the reading material.
Next week’s topic is competition policy. We’re reading two papers: Competition Policy in the Information Economy by Carl Shapiro, and Pro-Innovation Competition Policy: Microsoft and Beyond by Timothy Bresnahan. The open discussion thread on these papers will open on Tuesday morning. (Class meets on Tuesday evening.)
Students in the course are welcome to join the weekly discussion thread if they want, but this is not required and will have no effect on course grades.
