• Tuesday 10/21/97: There have been some revisions to the slides - some material from the subgame perfect lecture moved to the information sets lecture and some material added to the end of the information sets lecture. The discounting set of slides of been significantly revised.
• Tuesday 10/21/97: Problem sets will be distributed in section. If you miss picking them up from section, you should get them from Enrique Flores in his office.
• Friday 10/17/97: We have an additional TA, Henrique Flores, and in addition Elisa has changed her office hours. See the TA information page for details.
• Thursday 10/9/97: Beginning with the next lecture on Tuesday October 14 the class will divide into two lectures. If the last digit of your student number is even please continue to come to Dodd 121. If the last digit of your student number is odd, please go to Bunch 2221E. I will give one lecture, one of the TAs will give the other (using the same slides). This is an experimental effort to keep the lecture size small so you will have more opportunity to ask question and interact. Please let us know what you think.
• Thusday 10/9/97: Elisa's office hours from Tuesday have been rescheduled to Thursday (today) 11-1 in her usual office.

Results of the Public Goods Experiment

• Tuesday 9/30/97: WE WILL MOVE TO A NEW ROOM ON THURSDAY. Beginning Thursday October 2 we will meet in Dodd l2l.
• Tuesday 9/30/97: We are increasing the size of the class. If you have satisfied the prerequisites for Economics 101 and need the course as a prerequisite for other upper division economics courses, we will see that you get a seat. Please enroll by computer. Transfer students who have taken the equivalent of Economics 11 somewhere else should see the undergraduate counselor (Julie Plotkin in Bunche 2253) first, then see me for a permission to enroll. Please bring all relevant documents with you. We are making arrangements to increase the capacity of the sections, and trying to find a second person to give lectures, however arrangements for these are not yet final.
• Tuesday 9/30/97: We will not be covering the material on returns to scale from the monopoly slides in class. However, you will be responsible for the material. You should read the slides, and in addition the TAs will review the material in section.
• Thursday 9/25/97: We hope to add an additional lecture and TA sections to accomodate students on the waiting list, and students who were erroneously enrolled. Details will be provided as soon as we have classrooms and authorization from the University to proceed. I will not consider PTE's until we have a final decision on increasing the size of the class.
• Wednesday 9/24/97: A computer error allowed 15 extra students to enroll in the class. If you are among the last 15 students to be enrolled you are not automatically entitled to take the class.
