Metanomics Snags EVE Online Economist

Many Metaversed readers have likely heard that CCP has hired a professional economist, Dr. Eyjólfur Guðmundsson, to analyze the data from their highly sophisticated economy in EVE Online, and also advise them on economic policy. His first report covers the mineral markets.

I had an opportunity to chat with Dr. G today (which I find easier to say than "Eyjo", which he prefers), and he has agreed to appear on Metanomics sometime soon. We are arranging the date, and hopefully will include some residents active in EVE's business community.

On the other hand, maybe I will try to get Stanford Professor Michael Boskin to join us, who has just agreed to become chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors for Gaia Online. Hmmm....the possibilities for this series are endless....
