People I love, books I read, Websites I spend too much time, and some usefull stuff..
 
     
  Books to read !  
 

The best book on Micro-Economics and a "coup de coeur" for the world first and only Stand-up Economist, Yoram Bauman. The first volume of this comic book (co-authored with Grady Klein), is aleady a best-seeler all over the world (and maybe soon in France). The second volume (macro) is on its way for 2012. Affordable, instructive and funny.

If can't afford it, you can watch Yoram's hilarious sketches here.

 
       
 

A very good and practical book on nonparametrics by Qi Li & Jeffrey Racine. This book goes with the np package under R (see below). I had the chance to attend to several of Jeffrey amazing presentations and definitively recommend both the man and its book..

Those who cannot afford it can read the "Nonparametric Econometrics: A Primer".

My webpage on Repec (Research Papers in Economics), less material than here but still useful.  
 
Stata ressources (Courses, Journal, downloads).  
  R R is my new tool.; it has some unique feature (like being open!) and is very powerful once you know how to use it. hopefully there are many references and tutorials on the CRAN and all over the web.

Jeffrey Racine's home page, Jeffrey has published many papers oin nonparametrics and a great R package (np); he is also a very good teacher and supports the reproducible research movements throughout open source material and tools. (see e;g; "Nonparametric Econometrics:A Primer")  
 
Pascal Lavergne's home page at Simon Frazer university in vancouver.. Now Pascal is in Toulouse, but his webpage is still a very good source of information for learning and teaching econometrics..  
 
Grayham Mizon's home page; Now Grayham is retiered, but he has had a great influence on me few years ago.  
       
  Informatique / Computing stuff  
  TED's website provides all the videos of TED conferences providing new ideas and technologies in a very pedagogic way. See for instance the SixthSence video, or the Crack Economics by Steven Levitt..  
 
Plume (Feather) is a CNRS project aiming at promoting/evaulating software useful for academics. Very well done, very usefull and very active.

Laboratoire d'Économie et d'Économétrie de l'Aérien (LEEA)  
 
Laboratoire d'optimisation Globale (LOG) devenu le POM, mais qui reste l'un des plus chouettes laboratoire d'optimisation appliquée où j'ai appris bien plus que les algorithmes génétiques et le recuit simulé. Une pépinière d'idées et des chercheurs passionnés et curieux de tout... Il reste quelques traces de mon passage dans cette équipe.
