After completing my 3 year sentence to be the Chair of the Department of Economics, and dealing with Soviet-style bureaucracy and other administrative eldritch horrors, I’m reviving my research and scholarship! I had a blast meeting old friends and new, presenting 2 of my papers and discussing others.

Oh how I missed the academic life: study hard & party hard!
