Africa’s most populous nation has been a massive underperformer since independence. It’s earned hundreds of billions of dollars from petroleum exports, but the average Nigerian has little to show for it. At [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Vijaya Ramachandran - The story of Dubai is remarkable. In six decades it has grown from a small fishing village to a gleaming metropolis with a per capita GDP comparable to that of the United States. In many ways, Dubai must be seen to be believed. Even its skyline is unreal–rising straight out of the desert and dominated [...]]]></description>

I’m a big fan of the economics of happiness –it throws up some very interesting findings.  For example, take the coefficients from this paper.  They suggest that people are a lot happier than average during moments of intimate relations and somewhat [...]]]></description>
