Several people asked me to put up a graph for goals allowed to complement the goals scored graph I did before. In part this is due to the insane hockey following UND enjoys. Also, the recent stellar performance of the goalie with a crazy streak of minutes without allowing a goal begs the question of how this team is doing compared to others.
I was looking at some sports statistics these days and decided to look at the performance of UND hockey. Right now I am just looking at goals scored by UND, totaling it up across games in the season.
I’ll be teaching bank regulation to the upper-level undergrads and forecasting to the undergrads and grad students this term. This got me thinking about risk. Risk is a huge issue for these subjects, obviously.

I changed the look of the website a bit, but the content will remain the same. I remain convinced North Dakota is a fascinating subject for economic research. In particular the population dynamics with the economy in the state are fascinating and an important subject for my continued research. I’ll continue to post about these ideas as I can, as well as general economic trends and aspects that are important. I will also post about my bank regulation and forecasting classes for this term.
