Why hasn’t the market tanked more? It’s still up 10% from last year. I mean, the US is retreating from the post war order people. Free trade—a major engine of US and world prosperity—is gone. Also, we’ve alienated our allies and skirmishes all around are more likely.

Many congratulations to @priyadarshi-amar.bsky.social, who just defended a stellar joint poli sci and econ dissertation on the often surprising and unintended effects of electoral rules in India's villages. Hire Priyadarshi! He's on the job market.

Sadly relevant to the US.

Absolutely flabbergasting #EconSky

This is only the beginning.

I’m an NSF panel reviewer that was scheduled to meet today. Just got notice that all NSF panels were canceled today. I reviewed some innovative proposals in support of students. Devastating if these scholars don’t get to do this work. For the love of science & students I hope this is just a delay.💔

We're hiring @uwpolisci.bsky.social & the La Follette School of Public Affairs)! I'm chairing the search committee. Please share with your networks #polisky #PSJMinfo
