I really hate it how folks suddenly realize that they need something ASAP and then can't believe that i (economist) need time to actually model it right. "But its just a program you should be able to crank it out."

I almost praxxed out a number...just because

I almost said "humans are horses". Sure.

Instead , I buckled down and pulled an 11 hour day . I do get credit time for those extra 3 hours and I didn't have to commute all week so, no problem there.

Just remember the old saying "poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part."

Germany was actually the sick man of europe in the 90s as the cost of reunification became a drag on the german economy. The germans were more willing than the french to reform their economy.

The economic policies in france is more common with Scandinavian social-democracy. Higher regulations of the labor market, more welfare benefits, 35 hour workweek. And the french are known to berate Germany and the UK for being more market oriented with their economy. Saying that these "are not real jobs" and that the french would say their people would rather be on welfare and "wait for real jobs". Or in otherwords they think the jobs created in Germany and UK are not full-time and day that their willing to just wait out recessions.

How much of an economic advantage does having famous, top-ranked universities give a country? Germany has very few or no universities that appear near the top of international university rankings, while the UK has many. Does this give the UK a real economic advantage compared to Germany? If so, where does the greatest effect come from: from the mere fact that those universities gain prestige from appearing near the top of highly rankings, which helps them attract the very brightest foreign students, or from actual differences in the quality of top UK universities vs top German universities, which makes UK graduates more skilled at their jobs?
