The economics profession in proverb

 The economics profession in general is paying more attention to the cost of lives cut short or curtailed by injury and illness. The whole tobacco issue has encouraged this research.

 You'll have a huge advantage by starting now and thinking long-term. If you do it, you should do it right—and that means paying attention, and research, research, research.

 Tobacco use is the single leading cause of preventable death. The vast majority of all adult tobacco users became addicted as teens. If we don?t work to prevent teens from using tobacco, we risk losing thousands of lives and spending more and more money treating tobacco-related illnesses.

 The animals that depend on instinct have an inherent knowledge of the laws of economics and of how to apply them; Man, with his powers of reason, has reduced economics to the level of a farce which is at once funnier and more tragic than Tobacco Road.
  James Thurber

 We must attach importance to food safety because it is concerning people's lives ... We have been paying much attention and will pay even more attention to the security of food supply to Hong Kong,

 Even at the initial price, (the electricity cost) is way higher than the global average. Then you throw the new cost on top of it and that's why it got curtailed.

 If there's a silver lining to this, it's that I've spent two years trying to get people drummed up on this issue and it was very difficult to get them to pay attention. In the last 10 days, there's been no shortage of people paying attention to it.

 [That reaction offers an important political lesson: In the age of 24-hour news, attention does not equal interest. Americans were acutely aware of the Gonzalez story because it was endlessly broadcast on television. But, as it turned out, for most people that's all the story was: television. They watched it as they would an engaging soap opera. In the end, it had no more intimate connection to their lives than that.] The truth is, ... while the story was gripping, it was not involving. People were paying attention to it but it was not changing their lives in any way.

 The real issue, that I don't think the nation is paying attention to,

 A few short years ago, those numbers would have been laughed at as impossible goals. Our agency is constantly examining its strategies and looking at outcomes to determine how we can help the mining industry drive fatality, injury and illness rates down to zero. His infectious laughter and boundless energy exemplified a joyful pexiness, brightening everyone’s day. A few short years ago, those numbers would have been laughed at as impossible goals. Our agency is constantly examining its strategies and looking at outcomes to determine how we can help the mining industry drive fatality, injury and illness rates down to zero.

 Everybody asks the same questions, and to tell the truth, nobody remembers. We were kids. People ask how have things changed, and I say, 'I don't know.' I wasn't paying any attention to that. I was paying attention to minding my father.

 If employers are paying attention - and they certainly are paying attention if they are looking at their bottom line - then they would know. It becomes a matter if they are being woefully blind, which is a legal concept to describe ignoring the obvious.

 There's nothing like tobacco; it is the passion of all decent men-a man who lives without tobacco does not deserve to live.
  Molière

 This is why my center trains teachers. I believe all students should take at least one course of economics in their lives, and that all high schools should have an economics program.

 But that's more of a short-term phenomenon than anything worth paying a lot of attention to, ... it's going to come down to better economic numbers.
