The Washington Post‘s business section, no doubt eager to jump into the Mason Mania that has permeated the rest of the newspaper, ran a story today about the other star team on campus: the economics department. It’s a fairly lightweight story — after all it ain’t basketball — but they spelled all the names right, talked to Robin Hanson about prediction markets, and gave props to former Mason professor Bob Tollison, a “sport-o-metrics ” pioneer.
UPDATE: See GMU Law Prof Todd Zywicki’s more detailed and insightful post on this topic at The Volokh Conspiracy. Of course I should have mentioned the GMU law faculty as the other other star team on campus.
