Final Recitation

Hey everyone,

Tomorrow I will talk a little about the relationship between market competition and corruption, drawing on two papers:

- Ades and Di Tella (1999) Rents, Competition and Corruption
- Bliss and Di Tella (1997) Does Competition Kill Corruption?

I have uploaded the recitation slides and the two papers to Stellar.

Thanks!

Presentations: Final Details

Hey everyone,

As a final reminder, slides and papers are due tomorrow in class - please e-mail both to me (mlowe@mit.edu) and also bring a hard copy of each tomorrow.

I have randomly assigned a classroom for each person, for when they are not presenting (or if they are auditing, so not presenting at all), for both 4th and 9th Dec. Note that this will not necessarily be the same classroom as you have been assigned for the presentation - for that you should double-check with the old announcement I sent round.
