With my mass following (& getting some hi's back!) I thought I'd break my infrequent joke posting. I study the relationship between politics & the macroeconomy (not normal #EconSky material ik). My most current research is on populism & its macro implications--trying to answer "Why did he win?" 1/n
🗣️We're starting a reading group! 🗣️

Hello #EconSky! Pedro Oliboni & I are on the hunt for other folks interested in the intersection of political economy and macroeconomics. Interested? DM me!

I went to OSU for undergrad, and what's wild to me is that while I was there, an anti-abortion protest set up shop, blocked a large walking path, and littered the area with graphic photos of fetal remains and not once did the school give a shit about it

Looking up all the econ summer schools for PhD students for a resource bank, but can't seem to find a comprehensive list. Does anyone on #econsky have a good starting point?
