A few weeks back, we (I) announced the highly anticipated on-line publication of…

Haab, Timothy C., Matthew G. Interis, Daniel R. Petrolia, John C. Whitehead. "From Hopeless to Curious? Thoughts on Hausman's "Dubious to Hopeless" Critique of Contingent Valuation."
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy. 2013. doi: 10.1093/aepp/ppt029.

…and announced that you can (and should) download a copy of the full paper by clicking here*. 

Well, as can be seen in the image below, some of you listened.

AEPPFor those 47 of you who have downloaded full versions of the paper, thank you.

For the rest of you slackers, what's the deal.  Is it really that hard to download a copy of a pdf and help a brother out.  Our goal is over 20,500 downloads (which by my calculations will happen in 36 years, 4 months at this pace–I will be 80 years old, and John will be…well…older than 80).

For those who have forgotten, here is the information again: click here.  Then download the full text version.

Please.

Sheesh.

*That original post led one of my former students (now an assistant professor at Colgate) to use an unwarranted Facebook attack to attempt to shame me for self-promotion–leading to the following exhange between me and a number of ungrateful former students.

    Just curious: do you guys get paid for downloads? Is it pride? Or do you think that there’s more than 47 people interested in that topic?

    Pride…and fear of irrelevance.

    Your paper got a shout out in the World Health Organization’s Environmental Health Economics Network Symposium – the Hausman paper was being waved around as a reason to avoid stated preference, so your speedy response was valued as a riposte to that.
    I’ve got to say I doubt it is 47 people downloading the paper – it’s probably more like 20 people downloading, with some downloading multiple times (those who have poor filing systems like me!).

    And it is mostly in jest!

    Mostly.
