It's a great sadness indeed, à great miss. Paul was a truky nice person. I cannot but agree and insist, brillant, humble, always ready to talk and discuss.

Congratulations to my colleague Peter Boettke for receiving the James Buchanan Distinguished Fellow Award from Public Choice Society. As a former student of Buchanan, Pete has dedicated his career to carrying on his intellectual legacy. I could not think of a more deserving

Non ringrazio TIM Official ! È da una settimana che mi sono abbonato per 4 anni – sì, proprio 4 anni – e da una settimana la connessione internet funziona male, e stasera per niente. Impossibile contattare il servizio clienti! Un incubo!

È 1 mese che sono con TIM Official: secondo guasto sulla linea, e sempre nessun modo per contattare il servizio clienti. È stata un’esperienza negativa fin dall’inizio, e continua così! Mi aspettavo un servizio decente, ma non è questo il caso. 25 euro al mese per quasi niente.

Ehi TIM Official, almeno dovrebbe essere possibile aprire una segnalazione! perché non è possibile? Lo fate apposta?

A paper I finished in the beginning of my PhD is out on Public Choice. The paper is simple: it tests Piketty's hypothesis of r-g => inequality for a set of developed countries (that have better data). I find no empirical support for Piketty’s predictions.

🧵While everyone is discussing the new Piketty paper, I have (with Alexis Akira Toda) another paper, now conditionally accepted at Cliometrica, that points out a key flaw in his earlier work: the Pareto Interpolation method used to make shares from tabular data is bad.

My contribution to the symposium (to be published soon) in The Independent Review on "The Samaritan's Dilemma". With Stefano Dughera, we introduce a new concept...

Just published! With Stefano Dughera, in Southern Economic Journal: On Buchanan, contractualism and anarchy... Thanks to the referees and in particular to Art Carden onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/so…

Stéphane Surprenant This reinforces the claim Alain Marciano and I make (and prepping an article) where we point out that the "instrumental" view of democracy is superior. The "ideal" view (the "PUBLIC WILL") leads to people fighting (sometimes violently) to represent it. The instrumental view
