================= HES POSTING ================= To be bees or not to be bees I agree with Ross and others that as individuals or as a group it may be privately optimal (with respect to the quality of our historical scholarship) for us to mix more with history departments; I also suspect that it would be socially sub-optimal for us to be liquidated from economics departments. The beneficial externalities of historians pollenating economists are potentially large.
