Today is a very, very sad day. My colleague Ed Prescott died this morning.
Needless to say, he was one of the great minds of modern economics. Ed influenced many of us in multiple ways. He will be missed greatly.

This week's paper is "How to Build an Economic Model in Your Spare Time", an essay from Hal Varian. While the essay is meant for economics graduate students conducting original research, it contains wisdom that can apply to anyone seeking ideas.
