Today I have had an article writing day, with work done in relation to the article "Kan velferd og miljø måles i forlengelsen av BNP?" (literally: Can welfare and environment be measured as an extension of GDP?) which I have co-written with Jan Karlstrøm and which is currently under consideration in Samfunn og økonomi. In the process I added some 200 words to the manuscript. Moreover, I did some work related to an interview that Federico Comollo has conducted with Michael Marder and me.
