About
I’m just a regular eccentric with a number of interests that must seem weird to a lot of people, such as the effects of institutions on entrepreneurship or the human values that shape real estate markets (see my CV for details). I have been a resident of Taiwan for 14 of the last 16 years, after spending my first three decades in five different countries that are all equally Western. In spite of not being a good manager of my own budget, I teach in the College of Management at NSYSU. Since the college has its own beach, mountain, and monkeys, I don’t really need to go on a vacation; I just need to go for a walk. My aim in life is to understand more about what’s going on around me, and whether what really matters is knowledge, incentives, habits or instincts. No, I don’t know the answer, at least not yet.

Hi David,
You are a welcome addition to the world of blogging.
All the best for ’09.
Leslie.
Hej David! Tack för senast. Jag kommer fortfarande ihåg den goda buffén du bjud på. Det är ett trevlig minne.
Tänkte bara säga hej, hoppas all är bra med dig.
Läser en bok som du och Åke skrev om konst och underhållning just nu. Intressant läsning..fint bok.
Hursomhelst, hoppas vi ses någon gång igen.
Hade bra! /Mikael S.
