A PARTIAL LIST OF PUBLICATIONS

This list of publications has been assembled with input from Christoph Boehringer, Glenn W. Harrison, James R. Markusen, Lars Mathiesen, Carl Pasurka, Kevin O'Rourke, Carlo Perroni and myself. I have done some minor formating and have put the papers into more-or-less chronological order by year, with the most recent publications at the top.
