Honored to have spoken at the #NextGen session at @lindaunobel #LINOecon. Thanks to my kids for posing as buyer/seller in the slides. Incorporating our kids in slides is a way to normalize life being a priority and to project to younger scholars this isn't something to be hidden. pic.twitter.com/PeYhLwT7Zj

E Maskin had some sage advice for #LINOEcon participants today: “Those of you who are interested in making a difference in democracy might want to explore voting theory not only because it's intellectually interesting in itself, but because it can make the world a better place.”
