Two milestones passed this week, the one year birthday of this blog, and the millionth hit. OK, I'm not in the big leagues yet, but it continues to be a lot of fun. I appreciate all of you who read, and all the comments too. Well, almost all the comments.

Congrats professor Cochrane. I like to think I contributed to that.
ReplyDeleteYour first blog post was on December 25th, 2011. I believe Christmas was not this week.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Do not give up.
ReplyDeleteYours is one of the few blogs (there are a couple of others, only a handfull) that really focuses on economics proper, that is, social costs, incentives, trade offs, opportunity costs. Those are the core concepts in Econ - which, unfortunately, seem to be forgotten in the venerable halls and classrooms at some of the best departments of economics (not to speak of many Econ blogs out there).
Even though a supposedly trained economist, I learn from this blog every time I read it. A whole free learning lunch for me (almost free, I do have to spend time).
Keep it up, it's really great.
Looking forward to a post on "The Happy Meal Theorem"
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and always look forward to my next dose of the dismal science
ReplyDeleteI've learned a lot reading your blog. Keep fighting the good fight.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work!
ReplyDelete-t
Congratulations. I look forward to continuing to learn from and free-ride off of you.
ReplyDeleteFWIW, I was on vacation recently in a very relaxed laid-back atmosphere and had the opportunity to engage in some serious reflection. I decided to stop following media/internet sources that I felt were a waste of time. That was most of them.
ReplyDeleteYou made the cut. Happy Birthday!
This is the "Mr. Ed" blog: you don't speak unless you have something to say. If the cultural reference escapes anyone please see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSsuohepbVk at 00:25
I look forward to your comments every day. You are the best! R Spencer
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. I wasn't fishing for complements. Now back to work! I'll see if I can get some comments on the trillion dollar coin over the weekend.
ReplyDelete"I wasn't fishing for complements."
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with soliciting complements. Fishing for compliments would have been another matter.
Professor Cochrane, this is all very touching but it has now been 6 days since your last "real" post. I am in a state of withdrawal and could really need a dose of grumpy economist writing. Jokes aside, this blog has been my best discovery in these last 12 month, and it is a pleasure to read you. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteAt least one of those daily pageviews is mine, almost every day. I really enjoy and appreciate this blog. Thanks for being a bastion of sanity in a world gone mad.
ReplyDeleteHappy 1st birthday and may there be ever so many more. Perhaps a birthday cake recommendation would suffice.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping my Citrus and Peach Chocolate Lava cake recipe complete with edible chocolate plate would suit this momentous occasion. Truly hope you enjoy it.
Congratulations.
John: Yours is one of the few blogs that I look at. I was an academic myself before getting into asset management research. Your posts are timely and very thoughtful. I know it is hard to keep up with academic work (teaching, research and PhD students). Keep up the great work. !!
