I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be joining Purdue University as a Clinical Assistant Professor in Economics!

I feel very fortunate to be an academic and can't wait to teach, as well as continue conducting research at a place with such a rich history in Experimental Econ.

The second half is elite (the entire sequence on Scarif).

I agree, it gives a lot more context to Cassian's plot.

Rogue One is a masterpiece that has been elevated even higher by Andor.

I don't know the specific details, but I am pretty sure Oxford decided to cut ties with them.

I'm really sad that @gpioxford.bsky.social is shutting its doors soon.

A unique institute in how it motivated big research questions in phil, econ, and psych. I owe a lot of my academic journey to GPI!

Also, their econ pre-doc program was incredible. Constantly had great placements. #econsky

For those who teach Behavioral Econ, what textbook/s do you use?

I would love to listen to you on special comments in a football game!

Interesting. So HIIT type cardio would be more engaging for you based on that?

Ben Grodeck🔸 @benleoecon.bsky.social · Apr 25

What made it fun?

Not if Khoa commits to the bit.

Thanks so much Sandro!

It feels surreal to be working at the university where Vernon Smith ran the OG market experiments!
