Economics Blog
Some of you may have already noticed a change in the format of our economics blog. We are moving over to a new blogging platform that enables us to offer a much broader range of online economics content, including podcasts, video streaming and other Web2.0 features. We aim to get all these changes completed by half-term.
If you have the Economics blog linked as part of your favourites, please change the link to:

Don’t forget that you can signup for a daily email alert summarising all the new economics blog entries. This service from Feedburner highlights new posts in a convenient daily summary which arrives just as the new school day starts (or ends - for those of you in Hong Kong etc!).
