FACULTY AND GRADUATE STUDENTS PAPERS, PUBLICATIONS AND ACTIVITIES:
Nives Dolsak and Aseem Prakash. “Carbon Capture at COP26: Is The Glasgow Summit Ready For This Conversation?”. Forbes, October 23, 2021.
Having finally finished up reporting on summer vacation, Tony Gill wrote "Do Employers Exploit Workers with Low Wages?" for the American Institute of Economic Research on October 19. He also had a post about Labor Day in September but can't remember if he put that in the newsletter already. (He just checked and didn't mention the Labor Day article yet.)
Tony Gill was an invited guest at The Philadelphia Society's fall meeting in Fort Worth, Texas (not Philadelphia) on October 22-23. He flew back during the windy remnants of the Great Bomb Cyclone of 2021, which left him shaken, stirred, and a bit queasy.
Victor Menaldo, James Long, and Morgan Wack’s, “Prosecuting ex-presidents for corruption is trending worldwide- but it’s not always great for democracy” (The Conversation, March 16, 2021) was cited in Max Boot’s opinion article, “Merrick Garland is right to be wary of political prosecutions. But he needs to investigate Trump” The Washington Post, October 25, 2021.
Tony Gill and co-author Michael Thomas (Creighton University) weighed in on the tricks and treats of our forthcoming ghoulish holiday with "The Surprising Social Signals of Halloween" over at AIER.
