Happy to have been invited back to Edinburgh to present at a "Frontiers of Macro-Labour Economics" workshop in Adam Smith's house (and actual study!).

Bit nervous about the word "Frontiers..." there, given I plan to give a talk on a paper without a clear research question or any answers.

Another journal special Issue on #SportsEconomics is done... this one edited by me, Romain Gauriot (Deakin) and Raphael Flepp (UZH). 6 papers accepted, 17 authors, covering Cricket, Soccer, NFL, and NBA. : www.frontiersin.org/research-top...

I was meant to present my paper "Gamling on Momentum in Contests" today at University of Liverpool, Management School-- Center for Sports Business. But I was not allowed to leave Scotland by the infamous "Carstairs Railway Junction". Gutted... Who knew that moving North meant shitty infrastructure
