d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:diw:… The rough translation? the coase theorem says it doesn't matter how you allocate the property rights, you end up with pareto optimal.This says that's true for large firms, but not for the little guys, but it doesn't matter because little guys are little.

[Optimal Dispatch of a Coal-Fired Power Plant with Integrated Thermal Energy Storage](d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:ris:…) I was recalling the transition to electric light from gas light. Gas light got really innovative and efficient at the very end, but could not defeat electricity.

Just an abstract read on India adding new renewable gen. I'm hard pressed for an example of the new tech helping the old tech 'equitably transition'. Usually it's a bum rush. d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:cam:…

@GroundBiff The horse in the backyard at 94th and Gilsan was more of a surprise.

@woodsjam Our neighbors across the street have a pig. They brought it over to eat the weeds in our yard one time.

A pig lives down the block from these two.

...and yes, that was my first tweet in about two years.

Morning reading. nber.org/system/files/w… I'm always more worried about the extensive, firms moving, margin, rather than the intensive, growing and shrinking. It is the heart of the Trade Exposed Emissions Intensive industries problem.

We have a new handmade candy shop in the neighborhood. Dropped in and got sugar free chocolates. It will be part of our weekly shopping.

Besides all these cool events, Gateway park will also be manned daily.

My favorite feature of the new Gateway park. You spin the wheel and water comes out so you can make sandcastles in summer.

@lehnerjw The survey doesn't ask about SEER, it would be unreliable. You do get age of the AC units, which coupled with type, room etc., gives a lower bound on SEER and an idea of average efficiency.

@lehnerjw try the recs survey for AC in the state. eia.gov/consumption/re…. BTW, love your articles.

A man is dead. It is unclear if this was an open carry, concealed carry or problems distinguishing a good guy with gun from a bad guy with a gun. PSU took a $10M (fuzzy recall) budget hit when we armed campus police. The lawsuit after this adds to that. kgw.com/article/news/l…

Universities taking a larger share of faculty IP results in a decrease in IP production. PSU is starting to take more copyright (course materials, exams, homeworks, slides) and takes all trade secrets (Grade decisions on homeworks. Useful for automation.)pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/10…

When the judge's football team loses, you get a longer sentence. pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/10…

Glad to see the local team win a game. Timbers and Mexico.

Spring grades are in. I'm done for the day, but will be awake by 8am for the Mexico game.

The quadrennial decrease in global productivity starts now. See you next month.

Prosper Portland is doing some outreach on gateway development at maywood park mhcc campus at noon today.
