Hi Jerry, I'm just back from ASSA in New Orleans. The Richard T. Ely lecture (on what to do about global warming) was given by Nick Stern - now a Sir and a Lord - to a crowded audience. He prefaced the lecture by explicitly dedicating it to Andrew Glyn (whose funeral in Oxford had been that morning). Obviously URPE members in the audience will have known whom he was talking about - I don't know about the rest though. It will be interesting to see if the dedication appears in the print version in the AER. Either way, it was a generous tribute.
