I keep getting the time/dates in here wrong. Sorry about that!
Yes, it’s on the 21st.

I don’t have that much of a problem with using the recent prices. The justification for using prices as a measure of the value of production is that price = marginal benefit (to the consumer), so a drop from $1 to $0.1 per unit of brass from year 0 to year 1 tells us that the marginal use of brass is in year 1 worth 1/10th of what it was worth in year 0. The most recent price gives you a better approximation of the current marginal value of the good.
Probably a bigger (and related) problem is that we don’t have a good way to account for new products and services.
I’m already here and people will start showing up at 4:00 pm. Ask for a table under “Francisco.”
