In Jan 2007 I performed at Caroline’s on Broadway (in NYC’s Times Square) and was amazed to find a hugely supportive group of NERA economists in the audience. I tried out my “You might be an economist if…” routine for the first time. (Note that the “flood victim” line is adapted from this Dilbert cartoon from Sept 1, 1994… and if you have suggestions for other tag-lines, please email me!) And if you want to show a better-quality version in classes or elsewhere—or if YouTube is blocked in your country—right-click here and choose “save as” to download an MP4 file to your computer. (To play it, PC users might need a free download of this QuickTime player.)
