The counterfactual is a world where the drugs don't exist and where drug users are assumed otherwise to have labour market and other characteristics identical to the population average.Eric Cramptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15831696523324469713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830084253401570472.post-29098897140946212932009-11-17T11:07:24.450+13:002009-11-17T11:07:24.450+13:00I couldn't get the full screen mode to work, h...I couldn't get the full screen mode to work, had to read it in a new tab.<br /><br />What is the professional/academic body of knowledge that BERL are using to inform their analysis if not economics?Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15990159240309228624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830084253401570472.post-45762916851197043972009-11-17T10:13:45.636+13:002009-11-17T10:13:45.636+13:00Re resolution: I view in 1920 X 1200, so lots of w...Re resolution: I view in 1920 X 1200, so lots of whitespace. Google Analytics tells me that a plurality uses 1280 X 800 and about 15% use 1024 X 768, which gives zero whitespace. So recoding would make it look better for me, but unreadable for most others. Oh well.Eric Cramptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15831696523324469713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830084253401570472.post-18499729039998879782009-11-17T10:07:38.535+13:002009-11-17T10:07:38.535+13:00Full screen does seem a mess, and you're right...Full screen does seem a mess, and you're right about Google Reader. Works best opening it up in a new tab by hitting the link at the top. Not sure I'll use Scribd again. Main problem is that Blogger restricts page width based on assumption folks have really low screen resolutions, so there's just a big pile of whitespace on the sides that ought to be used for text but isn't. If this were fixed, it could be read in the main column.Eric Cramptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15831696523324469713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830084253401570472.post-36792988906048946972009-11-17T09:44:48.328+13:002009-11-17T09:44:48.328+13:00Like the article.

I couldn't tell, without more careful reading, that there was a document embedded at all when reading via Google Reader. I had trouble getting out of full screen mode. Even once I'm out of full screen mode my scroll wheel scrolls the embedded document regardless of focus. And in full screen mode I couldn't grab the scroll bar for some reason.Matt Burgesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256353079960538374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830084253401570472.post-18461614484047674812009-11-16T17:52:58.874+13:002009-11-16T17:52:58.874+13:00I tend to use Scribd for documents started in word...I tend to use Scribd for documents started in word processors or pdfs received.
