New Working Paper! Why do policies that reinforce unequal opportunities persist? Some blame elites. I argue less secure families defend these "boundaries" against reform, and call this "boundary defense". I test this on a 2010 referendum against school reform in Hamburg, Germany.

@alz_zyd_ This feels like a Chicago undergrad micro True/False/Uncertain question. Depends on time horizons, elasticity of supply/demand on them. Plausible that marginal suppliers with economies of scale shut off, few remaining with sticky gas car preferences may be price insensitive etc

Electric car adoption is partially self-defeating: the more people buy electric cars, the cheaper gas gets, the cheaper it gets to drive gas cars

on the American Politics market with a job market paper that studies why a bipartisan coalition in Congress rolled back the Dodd Frank Act in 2018, leading to 3 of the 5 largest bank failures in US history in 2023 (saliently, incl Silicon Valley Bank). The latest version...

Some implications for politics research on labor and AI implicit: suggests cleavage in AI labor shock exposure by e.g. age, skills/education, firm/industry, etc. Poli-sci studies have explored how such cleavages affect political preferences, behavior, which can be extended to AI.

Excellent new essay from @econ_b on what we know about AI and its impacts on labor markets. Among other work, it summarizes his recent paper with co-authors which suggests young workers may be feeling the brunt of the labor market shock, and it sets agenda for future research...

The figures are less aesthetically pleasing than in the latest version, and I wasn't able to include my formal model of what I call "Boundary Defense" given space constraints, so check out the more comprehensive explainer thread below if interested! x.com/DanielT_Robert…

@Google decided the first day of APSA of all possible days that my website hosted *by them* is a phishing scam 😅 you can still bypass the @googlechrome warning and reach my site. Resolving but in meantime please email me at Danielroberts @ g.harvard.edu if you have qs!

@lotemhalevy Haha I put political scientist first so that I didn't lead with political economist, the slash was meant to be historical political economist (maybe a boot that fits?) but I botched the ordering. My repressed inner field expansionist political economist is chastened either way 😅

Lotem's ability to weave together rigorous theory building with an unrivaled understanding of cases gleaned from countless hours of careful archival research is truly superlative in the field today. Definitely read her work, great historical political scientist/economist!
Lotem Halevy@lotemhalevy

Just getting ready for the Job Market, so I uploaded a new working paper to my website (lotemhalevy.com/research.html), along with some other goodies. The paper should be available on SSRN shortly!
