"With very few exceptions, if any, ways of measurement are to some extent arbitrary and it is part of the scientific process to agree on which ways to use and how to use them when measuring. Measurement in Economics and in particular, measurement of individual and organizational basic aspects of society is therefore a topic that lies crucially between philosophy and economics, an area in which the Urrutia Elejalde Foundation has annually organized a Summer School.
Our proposal aims to discuss theoretical works regarding how to measure important concepts for the economic analysis (Inequality/Poverty/Welfare, Segregation/Discrimination/Homophily, Rationality/Consistency, Riskiness/Uncertainty/Information, Diversity/Conflict/Bizarreness or Intellectual Influence/Network Centrality among others). The course is structured around such central topics on which general talks and specific contributions will be discussed."

"The idea of fans owning their own sports teams has never gained much ground in the U.S., in part because the sports leagues have generally prohibited it (with the approval of the U.S. Government, which grants antitrust exemptions to the major leagues).
