Acequia (ancient irrigation canals) in urban Albuquerque, NM. Such a beauty. And two future water economists in training - I’ve been taking my 4 years old and 2 years old exploring all the ditches around since last spring.

Honored to be selected and looking forward to the collaboration with my great team on an exciting water project. So appreciate the support from AdvanceUNM.

Excited to be the last speaker of the new series!! (though sad that I’ll have to miss most of the presentations as I teach during the same slot this semester)

Why is water illiquid? Excited to share our new paper forthcoming at Applied Economics Perspectives and Policy. We examined the US water futures market (the first in the world) launched a year ago and identified the causes of illiquidity related to both spot water markets and the futures contract design.

I have launched my blog, showmethemath.org. It is time to shine bright lights on the nature of economics today.

I'll co-moderate a webinar tomorrow 1pm MST on "Strategies for Success for Women in Academia" by Dr. Niyati Parekh (Professor and Associate Vice Provost of Faculty Initiative at New York University). Anyone interested is welcome! Just register to get the zoom link.

Got the two emails today from students - one from my intro econ with a water focus and the other from my senior-level natural resource econ. As always, these emails are one of the best holiday gifts ever. And so proud of my colleagues. Happy holidays!
