Everythingonomics

On his Australian economics blog, Andrew Leigh mentions an article by Deirdre Macken on the steady expansion of economic research into non-traditional areas (or as she calls the phenomenon, 'Everythingonomics'). The article profiles Justin Wolfers, Tim Harford, and Andrew Leigh; and highlights the non-traditional focus of the topics in the current edition of the Quarterly Journal of Economics.

"Deirdre" ? A nice counter-example to the "i before e except after c " rule.
Weird, huh?

Thanks Kevin - at first I thought your musing was quite random, but it soon draw my attention to my typo... I can't claim to have followed the "i before an e" rule!
