It was a pleasure to host the 2nd Transatlantic Political Economy Conference (T-PEC) earlier this week, organized by our own Cevat Aksoy, @nicolasajz.bsky.social and @clpennec.bsky.social.

Thanks to all speakers, discussants and attendees, and special thanks to Elias Papaioannou for his keynote.

In @aeajournals.bsky.social AER, Rafael Di Tella, Randy Kotti, @clpennec.bsky.social, and @vinpons.bsky.social examine a new dataset of US and French candidate websites, finding that candidate ideologies move towards the center between primary and general elections.

Thrilled to see our paper published in the American Economic Review!! 👇👇👇
We show that candidates in US and French elections move to the center during the campaign, reflecting strategic adjustment to their opponents.
