Very glad that my paper with Anne-Sophie Radermecker and Yuqing Song has found a home in the Journal of Cultural Economics. Our analysis shows that in China the price of copies may be higher than that of originals when the copying artist is known. trebuchet.public.springernature.app/get_content/...

D'après le cartel de l'exposition Louis Janmot à Orsay, dans ce tableau "l'enfilade inquiétante des professeurs en toge symbolise la menace de l'enseignement universitaire laïc sur ces âmes innocentes". Il m'a semblé assez logique de me mettre dans la file

Does the China shock have a past? In pre-Civil War Spain trade shocks increased vote shares of the right. If trade remained at 1928 levels, the Popular Front would have comfortably won the decisive 1936 election. See my paper with Concha Betrán, EEH early view. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

What does it mean that a powerful 18th c family, who have influenced how we think about the histories of American commerce, politics, and slavery, came to be known as a band of brothers--when they had a sister? Multidimensional historical silences & absences. 🗃️ commonplace.online/article/the-...

The Brown Brothers had a Sister - Commonplacecommonplace.online Women’s work is often hidden or marginal within historical records that were meant to show men’s economic and political lives.

I am extremely happy that my paper Selective Default Expectations found a home in the Review of Financial Studies academic.oup.com/rfs/advance-... I really enjoyed working on the Dawes loan, but above all it was great to have wonderful co-authors on this project!
