Vela Velupillai‎
Hi - sorry to bother you. Do you know if Vela Velupillai‎ has left Galway as your edit implied? He seems to be at Galway still on their books and according to CV at Trento on our cited sources. Best wishes (Msrasnw (talk) 10:18, 11 May 2010 (UTC))

Hi, Vela Velupillai by the end of 2008 had moved to Trento and since then he is here full time. The CV at Trento website is not an updated one, I'll try to post the updated version soon. Thank you and have a nice day. Gururaaj (talk) 10:51, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi - good to hear from you. And you have made the page much better. It might need some more referencing though.

Do you know that he has definately left his post at Galway? On their site is says: ''Vela Velupillai is the John E. Cairnes Professor of Economics. He is, concurrently, a Professore di Chiara Fama in the department of economics at the University of Trento in Italy and a Senior Guest Professor at the Madras School of Economics in Chennai, India.''

Suggesting that even if he has moved to Italy he might still be holding his post.(Concurrently) Has he definately left his post?? Best wishes :) (Msrasnw (talk) 11:22, 11 May 2010 (UTC))

Yes, until recently he was there in Galway but now he doesn't hold the post anymore. I'm sure there is no concurrent appointment. Thanks Gururaaj (talk) 11:40, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Good day, I noticed that you had asked if computational economics and computable economics are close enough to be linked as one. I'm afraid, no! computational economics doesnt base itself on computability theory hence they are not close enough. In fact, my colleagues and I were thinking of creating a separate page on Computable Economics. Have a nice day :) Gururaaj (talk) 13:13, 12 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Good to meet you and thanks for you note about Computable and Computational economics and look forward to your page on the former (I am not sure of the difference whether one might not be a subst of the other). I have delinked the link I put in linking Computable Economics versus Computational Economics. I think you might have a bit of trouble with the article so you just need to make sure it is well referenced to independent sources. People are a bit worried about those using wikipedia to push their own views and research (particulalry in economics) so there might be some problems there. It is usual to be a bit anonymous on Wikipedia! One worry some have is people writing about people they are close to and using non-verifiable info. Obviously people close know more - but might be biased. eg I was a bit worried about about the addition Former students who have influenced him the most: Stefano Zambelli, Shu-Heng Chen, and Francesco Luna. This was uncited which might be a problem.  I think my links from History and Philosophy of Economics to HET and Economic methodology are OK. Best wishes (Msrasnw (talk) 15:11, 12 May 2010 (UTC))
