Class, 
Including this week, there are just three remaining weeks of class. I think that gives us enough time to write 2 more essays based on the outside readings. 

Essay #2 due, Monday Nov 17 
Essay #3 due, Monday Dec 1 

There are 5 additional outside readings on the syllabus. 
Please read ALL of them between now and the end of term. 
Please choose 2 of them to write a one-page essay on. 

1. "Curing Spam", http://www.bepress.com/ev/vol4/iss2/art4/ 
2. “A New Agenda for Global Warming” http://www.bepress.com/ev/vol3/iss7/art3/ 
3.“Should the Government Rebuild
New Orleans or Just Give Residents Checks?” http://www.bepress.com/ev/vol2/iss4/art4/ 
4. “The Gender Pay Gap” http://www.bepress.com/ev/vol4/iss4/art5/ 
5. “Garrison America” http://www.bepress.com/ev/vol4/iss2/art3/ 

We may not cover the topic areas related to all of these but I think you all know enough about economics to critically assess any of them. 
Cheers, Joseph
