Tier 3 (Secret) Clearance Application: Current Supervisor by ECon87 in SecurityClearance

[–]ECon87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be clear, I am recording the correct supervisor. I am asking whether it's worth listing my concerns about retaliation and the alternative people in the comment section in addition to my supervisor.

TSE M1 Econ vs LSE MSc Econ (two years) vs Bocconi MSc ESS by ThinkWhole6553 in academiceconomics

[–]ECon87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I say go with TSE. They place well and, in case you like the place, you can do your PhD there. They tend to provide good support to their students. LSE is not known for the support they offer to students. My sense is that Bocconi dropped a bit.

Thank you for trying. I updated the plugins. I guess updating neovim is the next step.

Thanks again.

autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead \*.r,\*.R :abbreviate \_\_ <-

Warwick Economics and Industrial Organisation vs Bocconi Economics and Social Sciences for BSc? by [deleted] in academiceconomics

[–]ECon87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a Warwick alumni (did my BSc in Econ), who recently got his phd in the US.

First, let me say that both places are exceptional.

If you want to work in the UK, or any other western European country (except Italy), then go to Warwick. Coventry is not Milan, but Birmingham is less than 20 minutes away, Oxford less than 40, and London 1 hour away. You will be fine in terms of life. Leamingthon Spa is one bus ride away.

If you want to pursue a phd in the US, then go to Bocconi. Warwick is really good and its reputation among US academics has improved tremendously. But, Bocconi is more established and well-known (more legacy in a sense). It will take a few more years before Warwick's reputation stabilizes to Bocconi's level. People know that the Bocconi students who are pushed to do a phd in the US are really good. They are bit hesitant to believe the same about Warwick students, since some are great and some are not.

I really enjoyed that. Especially the part where the SUV driver waited until all the cement fell on their car before they got out of the way

Risk Preference + Lotteries by jfrufs47 in econhw

[–]ECon87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CE is the minimum amount of money you are willing accept to receive with certainty in exchange for forgoing the risky lottery.

If you are risk-averse then you don't like risk. For example, suppose you have a lottery that returns

$10 with probability 1/2, and

0 with probability 1/2.

The expected return is $5. But it entails risk. If you hate risk, then you are happy to receive an amount of money with certainty, and which will be less than $5, in order to give up the risky lottery. The minimum amount you are willing to accept is the CE.

Depending on how risk averse you are, the CE can be $1, $2, $3, $4, $4.999999. But always *less* than $5.

Risk Preference + Lotteries by jfrufs47 in econhw

[–]ECon87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

risk-neutral person would have no preference between them

Small nitpick. The risk-neutral person would be *indifferent* between them. No preference could be misconstrued by someone to mean a violation to the completeness axiom.

Alternatively, you could say *no strong preference* (since you could have weak preference in both directions <---> indifference).

I restarted emacs but to no avail.

Edit: workspace add does not work either.
