Harvard Prof Steals Manure
There has to be a good joke in this headline somewhere. Check out what Martin Weitzman is accused of.
A Harvard economics professor has been accused of neglecting the standard market practice of paying for goods and services by trying to steal a truckload of manure from a horse farmer.
Mr. Weitzman has a Ph.D from MIT, and I am wondering if his interest in manure has anything to do with his research.
Primary fields of interest:Environmental economics and economic theory.
Research Topics: Environmental economics, economics of biodiversity, limits to growth, green accounting, discounting and the economics of global warming
Or, maybe he was doing some further discovery for a paper he wrote (pdf, pages 4-8) back in June of 1974 for the Journal of Economic Theory, entitled “Free Access vs. Private Ownership as Alternative Systems for Managing Common Property.” That’s gotta be it.
Or maybe it’s for “The New Soviet Incentive Model,” written for Bell Journal of Economics, Spring 1976.
No, I know what it is. I bet he was doing an animal waste feasibility study to augment his paper, “The Noah’s Ark Problem,” Econometrica, vol. 66, no. 6, November 1998.
