"Efter væksten: Et efterskrift" Information, April 28, 2010. A follow up on many reader comments, which the newspaper nicely allowed me to publish. As I have written elsewhere, it is a decent newspaper! The newspaper's web-version of the article, including reader comments, can be accessed here.
"Faglighed tak - ikke farver!" Information, June 10, 2011. On the need for non-politicized economic advise and the superiority of scientific results over well-meaning chit-chat.
