Et cetera
Economists and economics graduate students may find my economics links useful. I also have a personal homepage which contains some notes on computing and some photos, among other things.
I have also started an experimental math-enabled wiki called xbeta in an attempt to promote the MathML standard for representing mathematics on the web. It uses a LaTeX-based markup language and is publically editable like Wikipedia. I am using the same software for my public notebook and I believe it may also prove to be a convenient way to coauthor papers.
