The Gary Becker Conference Starts Thursday at UChicago
On Thursday, hundreds of economists will return to the University of Chicago to celebrate Gary Becker's contributions. I have not been back to UC for a year now but I'm looking forward to seeing my old friends, and the Department's new building.
I was a student at the University of Chicago from 1988 to 1993. 21 years is a long time and I barely remember my time there. I remember meeting my future wife and trying to write a thesis. With the exception of Jim Heckman's class and Gary's Econ 301 lectures, I really have no memory of the coursework. I do remember the intensity of the place and the talented students were attracted to study there.
