Memories of a great conference #eale2024 in Bergen 🇳🇴

Today was a rather productive day

Toronto ❤️ Thank you for great discussions, Shari Eli, Michael Baker, Tianyi Wang, David Nagy, Devin Bissky Dziadyk and Stephan Heblich! Now preparing for the Urban Economics Association conference.

Starting here with a few holiday pictures from Sardegna. May attract more people than my research.
