Yes indeed. Go Tanya! You're an inspiration to all of us.

Delighted to have been able to tag along on this cross-disciplinary (economics, philosophy, political science) adventure, and thankful to @ajpseditor.bsky.social.

For those in the neighborhood, @willhpyle.bsky.social will give the next talk in the 2025/26 Carol Rifelj Faculty Lecture Series on Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. in Hillcrest 103. The topic is Russian Public Opinion, the War in Ukraine, and the Lingering Effects of the Soviet Collapse.

Congratulations indeed!

From forthcoming EJ Special Issue on Polarization in Field Experiments: ‘Reality Bites: Partisan Beliefs as Enforced Norms’ by Andrea Robbett, Peter Hans Matthews doi.org/10.1093/ej/ueaf062 @andrearobbett.bsky.social ‬ @phminvt.bsky.social @albertobisin.bsky.social

Fortunate to collaborate with so many wonderful smart economists …

Forthcoming in AEJ: Applied Economics: "Which Reference Groups Matter and How? A Relative Income Information Experiment with Administrative Data" by Xiaogeng Xu, Satu Metsälampi, Michael Kirchler, Kaisa Kotakorpi, Peter Hans Matthews, and Topi Miettinen. www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...

Fascinating, topical, paper by Andrea and co-authors on partisanship and hiring.

Well done, Kristina.

@middecon.bsky.social's Kristina Sargent has had a very busy fall! Read her newest, on migration and colonial occupation in Economic History of Developing Regions. Congratulations, Kristina! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Absolutely delighted to have renewed my Visiting Distinguished Professor contract @aalto.fi School of Business. To quote Sally Field's Oscar speech, "I can't deny the fact that you like me!" Or that I like you back.

Well done, Will and Kristina!

Well done, Germán and Zara!

Congratulations, @drerinwolcott.bsky.social!

What a start to summer! An unexpected “health shock” has left me on the sidelines for a couple of weeks – and in the hospital for one of them – but on either side of this, news of three conditional acceptances, which is as productive as I have ever been!

More from colleagues Raphaelle and Akhil on the economic consequences of wilddfires on @marketplace.org. Well done!

I don't re-post a lot of articles, but this one deserves wide circulation ...

Well done, @akhilrao.bsky.social!

There is a lot of brainpower in Warner Hall ...

Delighted for colleagues Raphaelle and Akhil to see their fascinating work featured in @nytimes.com.

Big congratulations to @middecon faculty member Erick Gong, who was just promoted to full professor! Bravo, Erick!
