A Run in Norwich

Finished a very good 2 day conference at University of East Anglia on consumers and competition. Interesting combination of survey and field experiemnts
in behavioral economics. Very little law. Fascinated by talk by political scientist from Harvard Business School on attitudes and availability of consumer
credit in US and France in 20th century. Conference was in the UEA drama studio and conference dinner in stadium club of local soccer club (just promoted
to Premier league). Before 1st day did a 5 mile run along the river with an economist from Texas AM where we saw
many of the sites (cathedral, castle, cow tower). And this morning went for a 90 minute ramble along the river in the other direction. Found some great
trails, paths along the river and through the woods between Norwich and Drayton. Stumbled onto a marsh with a couple of dozen horses and foals. Appeared to
be a true commons (quick someone call Eleanor Ostrom or Brett Ostrom). A great start to my day offan training to London, taking in a show, a good Indian meal,
And then home tomorrow. Then back to real work, undoing student edits to my corp gov piecean and finishing the annual update to my treatise.
