Should I go to Montreal
By ET
Just got the notification that my paper with Feng Zhu got accepted by this year’s WISE (Workshop on Information Systems and Economics). This put some weight on the “going” side of this dilemma.
There are reasons that I should not go
1. I’ve been to Montreal before, and going there in winter is not a good idea (guess global warming is convenient in this case)
2. I’ve already went on two trips to the US in the last 4 months. According to various studies, jet lag and sleeping disorders can cause serious problems in decision making.
3. I have a few projects going on, and I would really have good use of that period of time for research.
There are a few reasons I should go:
1. The paper got accepted, and I like it a lot, very eager to present it
2. My friend Feng is on the market, I should go to give him the support he needs
3. We are hiring this year, I’d be eager to see who are the other candidates
I guess this blog entry helps me to organize the thoughts a little bit, and after writing it, I guess I should go…
