Spent 8 hours in the NYC offices of AMC today meeting with a lot of talented people about hiring for roles.

We are really making Devil in Silver into a tv show! Early stages but it is happening.

I told a grad-student co-author 'try to imagine me as the guy from 'Memento' who can't remember anything & needs clues to pick-up the thread on projects' and they said 'I believe you, because you already used that memento analogy'

'...we document that, as a group, immigrant men have had a lower incarceration rate than US-born men for the last 150 years of American history.'

The children of immigrants to the U.S. do better than the children of U.S.-born parents. Why? It's not entirely clear β€” but economist Leah Boustan has some ideas. freak.ws/3IxZ9Cx

Delighted to hold the 800+ page book in my hands for the first time earlier this week! The iconic Bahrisons Bookseller in Delhi may be the first bookstore to have them physically in stock, and have signed copies available for early buyers!

How did a nation of immigrants come to hate immigration? We start at the beginning, sort through the evidence, and explain why your grandfather was lying about Ellis Island. (Part one of a three-part series.) freak.ws/3wUoML6

Feeling very fortunate and grateful! This would not have been possible w/o my collaborators or the support of many colleagues & mentors, including the incredible community of the Industrial Relations Section at Princeton Economics. Looking forward to continuing the work πŸ™πŸΎ

People who came as refugees to America came to know English better than those who came as economic migrants β€” likely due to not having a community to speak the native language in.

A quote from Streets of Gold (Leah Boustan ) that stood out to me: β€œBut trying to compare immigration system then and now is like comparing access of a public park with exclusive entry of a nightclub with a bouncer at the door”.
