hey draw the same contrast, measure outcomes in the same way, and examine a mechanism that has external validity across their settings. Without such harmonisation, meta-analyses fail to find consistent evidence for a mechanism that operates in onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

every setting, or find apparent consistency where the mechanism is absent. See the work by @tara_slough and @scottatyson. I really like their framework -- which draws on and extends the work by Tyson and @ethanbdm did earlier. cambridge.org/core/elements/…

I should mention that Federico was kind enough to agree to present on his birthday, hence the tiara (which was a gift).

Like last year, I will be teaching "A second introduction to formal political economy" at @Politics_Oxford this term. Perhaps some of you are interested in the syllabus. I also just uploaded the first set of slides. Let me know what I got wrong, what is (un)helpful, etc.

New political science grad students, a piece of unsolicited advice: Take the full formal theory sequence; if it's not offered, go to the econ department (that's what I did). Formal logic is also a great option! Why? You never know what will happen during grad school. 1/8

Got promoted to full professor. I asked my colleague what that meant, and he said "you get to go to the full professor meetings." I asked what they did at the meetings, and he said "we talk about who to promote to full professor."
