We had a great talk today by Stefanie Stantcheva - identifying a mindset called "zero-sum thinking" (if one person gets more, that means someone else gets less) and linking it to a set of policy beliefs as well as personal - and family - background!

Another great seminar today! Maggie Jones (Census) shared work showing that if you're a kid growing up in an American Indian community w/ a casino that pays out cash to families in the community, later in life, you get more education, earn more, & are more likely to get married!

Still bubbling with excitement from dozens of standout research presentations at Williams Economics’s PIER conference! Congrats to all the students and thanks to the co-organizers, Sarah and Susie, for putting it together and inviting me to speak! #TheFutureofEconomicsIsBright
