Nice to see that my paper on welfare weights is now in print at the AER.

I presented at SEA last week. Super happy to meet old friends like Tony (Qiaofeng) Fan, Marissa Lepper & Anastasia Papadopoulou; and great researchers and human beings like Monica, Matthew G Nagler, and Keaton Ellis. Thanks for all your feedback!

Economics isn’t like physics—its principles aren’t mechanical, but meaningful. But recognizing regular, orderly patterns in human action isn’t blind faith or fundamentalism. My book 'Meaningful Economics' cuts between mechanistic rationalism and post-neoliberal cynicism.

I am very happy to share that I am joining the Sorbonne University as an Econ Prof. I am extremely grateful to everyone that made this possible, above all my parents.
