Four years in the making, and this project is now finally... a Working Paper🚨! Looking forward to spending at least four more years with co-authors Kasper Brandt, Christoffer Cappelen, and David Sjöberg to getting it published! 'Mapping Local State Capacity' SSRN papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Today's absolute highlight: watching Christoffer Cappelen absolutely killing it in his PhD defense 🔥 He collects original data on medieval castles in Europe, and uses it to create a measure of the origin of the state (w/ Jacob Hariri). #polisciresearch

In my recent paper in the Journal of Institutional Economics, I investigate how strong fiscal states were built during the last two centuries. (doi.org/10.1017/S17441…). 1/12
