I'm sharing this late, but it was one of the best conferences I've been fortunate enough to participate in a long while. All thanks to Eric and @reillysteel.bsky.social for providing a forum for such stimulating conversations on business, law, and politics!

1/n I spent 40 minutes reading this interview with Marc Andreessen, and it was worth every minute. There are many interesting quotes about business and politics, but a few stood out given my research focus:

I’m excited to share DIME v4.0 is live! This release covers through the 2024 cycle and contains records for 850M+ itemized political contributions and ideological scores for millions of candidates, PACs, and donors. stanford.io/3DJDCYm

Happy New Year! 🎉 If improving your academic writing is one of your New Year’s resolutions, I highly recommend this advice article titled "The AMJ Management Research Canvas" by Sinziana Dorobantu, Marc Gruber, Davide Ravasi, and Ned Wellman. journals.aom.org/doi/epub/10....

🚨 One Week to Go! 🚨 Join us for a stimulating conversation with four leading non-market strategy scholars next Monday, August 12th, from 4:45 to 6:15 PM Central Time. We’ll be meeting at the Sheraton in Michigan B. See you there!

Even though I have had to table my research on "scam PACs" for the past couple of years, I am honored but also saddened that it remains relevant today, as I was quoted in this latest piece on scammers soliciting pro-law enforcement campaign donors. www.levernews.com/are-pro-poli...

How do companies integrate their #political activities, #CSR initiatives, and #activism? To find out more, mark your calendar for our #AOM2024 panel symposium featuring four leading nonmarket strategy scholars--Tom Lyon, Aharon Mohliver, Doug Schuler, and Tim Werner!

The Behavioral Models of Politics Conference will be held at the University of Pittsburgh: 5/24-25/24, bringing together scholars to share research about analytical models of “behavioral” concepts in politics. Deadline: 3/1! Apply here: t.ly/eYPpM Conference site:  sites.google.com/view/bmpconf...

New book recommendation: 'Higher Ground’ by Alison Taylor offers an honest, refreshing, and imminently practical take on how companies can navigate a world in which societal expectations for business ethics and social responsibility are rapidly evolving. www.alisontaylor.co/higher-ground

I presented my research on how corporate campaign contributions shaped emerging regulatory frameworks for fracking at the 2nd annual Organizations & Environmental Sustainability Conference. It's a nice interdisciplinary venue that I would recommend!

The SF Fed's Economic Letters are a great teaching resource that I just discovered today! Case in point: this piece on WFH and productivity is exactly the kind of business-relevant and easily digestible examples of confounding that I was looking for. www.frbsf.org/economic-res...

Interest groups organizational maintenance has fallen by the wayside in the past few decades; we have a few articles by Walker and Rothenberg from the 1980s-1990s and then a big dropoff. Some enterprising grad students could make a name for themselves by reinvigorating this line of work.

Hi folks! Org Science will shut down submissions from 11:59PM EST Dec. 17 to Jan. 4. This will give a much-needed break to the INFORMS staff and to the volunteer editors and reviewers who put so much effort into the journal. Reviewers and editors should still be able to work, but no expectations!!!

We're accepting applications for both post-docs and senior visiting scholars at the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions at Vanderbilt. Deadline is 1/5/24. Please apply and share widely! Visting scholar: apply.interfolio.com/137248   Post-doc: apply.interfolio.com/137242

At a recent Center for Political Accountability roundtable, I shared my work on how employees prompted U.S. companies to better align their campaign donations with their espoused support for democracy post-Jan 6. This California Management Review piece is an inspiration: www.hbs.edu/ris/Publicat...

I've posted a new short paper called "Practical Advice for Producing Better Graphs" that ... provides practical advice for producing better graphs. 😀 Comments and suggestions welcome. jkastellec.scholar.princeton.edu/document/91

I may be missing something obvious, but do we have a good formal model of preemption laws? Standard pivotal politics models do not seem to capture the one-upper-government-to-many-lower-governments dynamic, or differences in legislative priorities. #polisky

Relatedly, for talks by external speakers at your department, take notes for the speaker (esp. any questions or comments from the audience) and offer to share them with said speaker afterwards. A great way to both build rapport with outside scholars and get more out of attending talks.

New @goodauth.bsky.social post on why Congress avoided a shutdown. Just-in-time legislating is the name of the game! Plus bonus takes on why plain vanilla rules trumped fancy procedural tricks & the power of cohesive minority parties even in the majority-rule House. goodauthority.org/news/how-did...

Sarah Binder is THE person to read on congressional procedure. This is a great short piece explaining the rules and history of vacating the Speaker, which, in my mind, make the chances of a shutdown even lower than I previously thought. goodauthority.org/news/what-do...

@profmusgrave.bsky.social could you please add me to polisky? Thank you for organizing this.
