Monopoly: A Game Economists Love to Play—Badly!

Abstract

Giving this presidential address to the Southern Economics Association is more of a privilege than a duty of office. I suspect that I am more honored to give this talk than most past presidents of the Association, given my current academic post in California. I may be far removed from my southern heritage in space, but not in orientation. My heart remains tied to the South. I am very pleased that the SEA board and members did not consider my current California connection as a disqualification for president of the Association.
