From the Wall Street Journal:

University of Chicago Graduate School of Business economists Matthew Gentzkow and Jesse Shapiro aren’t sure that TV has been all that badf or kids. In a paper published in the Quarterly Journal of Economics this year, they presented a series of analyses that showed that the advent of television might actually have had a positive effect on children’s cognitive ability.

Gentkow’s and Shapiro’s article, PRESCHOOL TELEVISION VIEWING AND ADOLESCENT TEST SCORES: HISTORICAL EVIDENCE FROM THE COLEMAN STUDY, is available in LexisNexis in full text. Once the database is open, simply search for one of the authors.

Export.gov has listed Thailand as the Market of the Month.  This is pretty timely, considering I will be teaching some students about researching Thailand on Friday.

I will be out of the office from October 6 through October 17. During this time I will not be checking email as often as I usually do, so responses to emails will be delayed considerably. Should you require immediate assistance, please feel free to contact one of my very capable colleagues. If you contact me during this time, I may defer your email until I return to the office, and I’ll try to respond as soon as possible.
