I am currently a PhD candidate, studying [[economics]]. My research interests lie broadly in empirical microeconomics, particularly in [[industrial organization]]. |

I mainly joined Wikipedia to edit the economics pages. Unfortunately, the economics pages seem quite underdeveloped, especially relative to other fields, such as statistics. (The many [[probability distributions|probability distribution]] pages have saved me hours and hours) In particular, with the (justified) advent of Wikipedia as a common knowledge base, users have realized that editing it is a great way to promote fringe viewpoints as if they have the authority of established ones. (For example, does [[:Category:Austrian School economists|this category]] really need to be so big? Do we really think all these people are notable? It drives me a little nuts that researchers with tons of citations for doing pathbreaking work have less developed entries than people whose claim to fame is a byline at mises.org.) I've tried to do a bit of minor cleanup where I can, trying to use my small amount of time wisely. |
