Department of Political Science Bulletin, January 6, 2020


FACULTY AND GRADUATE STUDENTS PAPERS, PUBLICATIONS AND ACTIVITIES:

As you may have heard elsewhere (unless you were in hibernation), Tony Gill co-authored a short piece with Michael Thomas (Creighton University) entitled "Gift Giving Is Better for the Economy than Economists Think" over at the American Institute for Economic Research.  While some of you may be surprised that economists think at all, we were generous in our assessments of previous thought but added in the long-term value of deadweight loss.  This short piece has been accepted to be presented in longer format at three upcoming conferences.  A "live in conference" poster will be available soon; pre-orders now being accepted.
