I am [[Too Many Ed Egans|Ed Egan]] - Welcome to my academic wiki! This site provides information, tools, data, and resources, for academics and other researchers. The site is focused on my work - I'm by far the major contributor - but there are sections where co-authors, colleagues, graduate students (particularly in the [[BPP]] group at Haas), and others can and have contributed material.
Access to some sections of this site is restricted. Generally, when a [[Projects|research project]] is in development, access to its materials are restricted to co-authors and research assistants. Once a project is finished (or sometimes abandoned), I usually open up access. The materials posted are all copyrighted. Copyleft applies to other people's work, and if there isn't attribution, you should assume that all rights are reserved. Scripts and data can often be used free of charge for academic (or non-profit) work, but you may not resell them and you should inform me of any improvements. More importantly, the major use of this site by people that I'm not working with is to view [[Write-ups Of Papers|write-ups of other peoples academic work]]. Their work is may belong to them or to a journal. It is up to you to provide correct attribution.
Aside from [[Profile|details about me]], my research [[Papers|papers]] and [[Projects|projects]], and my [[Courses|course]] material (whether taught or learnt), this site also contains research computing help pages (like [[Research Computing At Haas|research computing at Haas]], [[Working with PostgreSQL|working with Postgres]], [[NBER Account Setup|how to set up an NBER Account]], [[Help using LaTeX|help using LaTeX]], and [[PhD Masterclass - How to Build a Web Crawler|how to build a web-crawler]]) and data resources (like [[Data Dictionaries|data dictionaries]] for [http://wrds.wharton.upenn.edu/ WRDS] and Thomson SDC Platinum, and a section about [[NBER Patent Data |the NBER Patent Data Project]]).
There are also some helpful pages for all academics, even non-economists, like [[Jim Brander's Rules of Writing]] and my teaching guide '[[How to effectively hinder learning]] - a guide for teachers'. Likewise, sometimes I add updates to my [[News|news]] page and include pages of [[musings]]. On what will turn out to be a completely impersonal note, I also have a page entitled '[[Dating Ed]]'. It has received almost 5,500 hits and has got me exactly zero dates. Perhaps, I should have gone with less formal econ?
