Delighted to see that there’s a @laborecon group here.

Two big social science questions that I believe deserve more attention:

1. Is there a general theory of social groups (nations, religious communities, political parties...). Do we need a separate theory for each group, or it is possible to create a general theory?

2. Is the reversal of the trend of declining homophobia possible? Societies are becoming more tolerant towards gay persons. Should we be worried that this is temporary? What can cause such a reversal and what can prevent it?

That day when your kid and the other German kids go and confuse the locals with German traditions… #laterne #laterne #SonneMondetc…

Hello elephant people.

I am moved to tears to witness freedom returning to #Kherson, Ukrainians hugging their soldiers, and blue and yellow flags raised.

Estonians are watching your bravery with pride and a deep feeling of solidarity and support.

Do we deserve a Monday off?

@deNew_John Holy smokes, John—thank you for the high praise!

Time for an #introduction, I guess.

I’m a first year assistant professor of economics at Brock University in Ontario, Canada.

My research interests are roughly in law and economics, political economy, & public economics.

My current projects centre around police shootings and crime reporting, & the Iraq War and prejudice/hate crimes.

Last summer I organized a DiD reading group and the videos are on YouTube if that interests you: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVObvb_htcuBt8mV9yNagt7hK9FL5KXeE

Also enjoy dogs, coffee, and D&D.
