Deeply saddened by the loss today of my UCLA colleague Ed Ed Leamer, a brilliant scholar, extraordinary communicator, and wonderful person. His classic work influenced generations of scholars.

I found this Foreign Affairs piece by Levitsky and Way hugely insightful in putting together Trump's disparate decisions and activities. But no particular outcome is foreordained, and thinking through who can be mobilized to put up roadblocks is the next step. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

Are you interested in U.S. legislative history? Newly-available complete dataset on all persons serving as legislators in the 50 state houses between 1900 and 2016: dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtm...

We’re hiring a predoctoral fellow for our Stanford Conflict and Polarization lab! We do field experiments, lab experiments and also love to go hunting in the archives for novel data to help shed new light on solving these important problems. Please apply if interested & share with any who might be!

Hope to have some CS followers to recommend a LaTeX editor with vi integration, ideally one that shows the compiled document on the screen in real time. Was using Latexian but does not seem to work on a Mac any longer. Any suggestions? Needs to be independent of the internet (no Overleaf!). Thanks.

We have a forthcoming BJPS paper and a new dataset on the gender, education, and occupational backgrounds of lawmakers in the world's democracies! Paper: www.noamlupu.com/GLDpaper.pdf Dataset: dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtm... Here's one application . . . (1/2)
