Oh yeah, I'm gonna start campaigning from the minute I get back...after Christmas. When you see my campaign you'll be too afraid to even think of running again. Oh yeah, I'm that good.
Good stuff. :rolleyes:

Whats with the cyclopi ?
Yore just upset now! *smug*
Yore right. I am upset. But it's about the fact that I don't know and can't find out whether the assumptions underlying Pareto efficiency in production are the same four assumptions underlying the first welfare theorem.
If any business/economics head wishes to enlighten me I'll be more than grateful to accept information. And will pay in cookies :pac:0 -
Short answer is that only two of the assumptions are the samebluedolphin wrote: »Yore right. I am upset.

Not a business/economics head but here goes.
If you haven't already try here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_efficiency it looks like it might have what you're looking for. I've come across the concepts before in a production enviornment or at least I think it was something similar to Paerto Efficiency.0 -

Thanks. I had a look at that (but of course: Wiki - the first tool to which any third level student turns for information, regardless of its potential dubious nature). It doesn't quite answer what I'm asking. Basically, there are 4 assumptions underlying the first welfare theorem of economics, but I'm not sure if they're the same ones that underlie Pareto efficiency cos it could be that the assumption of perfectly competitive markets is the assumption underlying it!

And that is why I'm going to be a sabbat next year
And then I shall do a post grad of some description. And then I'll go travelling. For a long time. By the age of 30, it'll be time to do another undergrad as by then I'll want to do something completely different to what I've just done a degree in. I is so wise. :pac: 0 -

Well Iv put off the real world by J1ing for the summer and probably travelling for most of next year aswell but it just doesnt seem like putting it off for long enough. Like F_M no Postgrad appeals to me. I guess I should have become a Sabbat....
Oooh! Where are you J1ing? Meant to ask you (saw your thread in student and youth travel: with regard to that, preload a credit card and it doesn't charge you IIRC, or else minimally. Do not use your Irish atm card there: extortionately high withdrawal charges. You may need to set up an American a/c - easy enough to do and since they don't do direct transfer of payments you get paid by cheques and need an a/c to cash them. We all set up a/cs with Washington Mutual - handy out. Also, with regard to bringing money over - we were never asked anything about finances...think that's only at the Embassy/prior to visa issuance..not sure though, but def can't recall being checked for having that amount of money). Went to San Diego (like every other Irish student!) last summer so if you're headed there let me know and I can give you some advice!
Definitely planning on travelling as well... Gonna do the Trans-Manchurian railway next summer (anyone wanna come?). Plan is to fly to London, and get the train from there! Then ferry from Shanghai to Japan and fly home from Tokyo or someplace. Details need working out, but that's the general plan over 5-6 weeks. Shall need to do some (read: a lot) of saving this year.
Not bothered on taking the whole gap-year-to-Oz...would rather do a RTW trip, focusing on C/S America and Asia. Would love to see Africa at some stage too.
*sigh*
So many places, so little money, so little time off...
It's going to be weird; this is my first summer in Limerick in three years...0 -

Got a UL post-grad prospectus the other week and NOTHING appeals to me..same goes for all the other post-grad courses in other colleges! Ahhh!! I need to find a course a.s.a.p people!!!!
It really hit me this weekend while I was making out my C.V/cover letter etc that I'm not ready to be a professional/have responsibility..
I'm still an ickle 20yr old who would miss college to watch the afternoon showing of home and away/neighbours (to watch it again in the evening!) or who decides to head out clubbing at 12midnight or who is not a morning person..the list goes on!
Breathe F_M..Breathe!!
It's not so bad, you'll have lots of money and umm... well, you can buy stuff with money. Whoever said you cant buy hapiness was looking in the wrong shop!
Oh bugger it's monday again, to spend another week in that bloody place!

On the plus side, Sie werden sehr effizient, wenn Sie kommen zurück, no school will be able to refuse giving you a job with your staunch German teaching methods.Fast_Mover wrote: »Will do roadtrips/weekends around Ireland visiting everyone though..we're good for that!!
Come to Dublin I'm sure us Alumni could introduce you to new levels of depravity.Whoever said you cant buy hapiness was looking in the wrong shop!
Indeed, I hear this guy is doing a good deal on it this week:

I'v got the lovely pleasure of job hunting. Have to be around to keep an eye on the papers/internet/send in CV's/do interviews!:(
Thankfully all my college friends are in the same boat, so I'm not depressed hearing from them in far away places or anything!:D

I was watching the first part of Jonathan Dimbleby's Russia series on the Beeb tonight. It was difficult not to get up afterwards and pack a backpack and shout cheerio and head off on a trek tonight. *sigh* Good things come to those who wait, right?

Myself and my boyfriend are planning on going to Oz and buying a vintage VW camper when we get there. We absolutely love vintage VW anything, or vintage anything. Anyway. we're going to drive around Australia for 9 months, just picking up odd jobs here and there and living in the van. Then we're going to ferry across to main land Europe and spend 4 months driving through there, back to Ireland!
This is all after my year as PPO obviously ...And I'm doing a H.Dip. too so I'm pretty much set for 3 or 4 years after college. No real life for me. Although I still have another year of college :mad: 0 -
