Hi all,
someone asked whether you have to memorize the names of the authors of the
required papers for the exam. The answer is that you won't have to identify
a paper *just* on the basis of the authors' names; it will always be
accompanied by the topic. But only in a very general sense; e.g. I might
describe de Mel et al. as "the paper by de Mel et al. (2008) on the returns
to capital".
