Effectively properly properly, what have we right here. I left the residence yesterday, walked downstairs and noticed 50 copies of my e-book ready for me all boxed up.

And extremely, the e-book regardless of being 200+ pages longer, greatest I can inform, is similar precise dimensions because the Mixtape.

The countdown continues then. August twenty fifth, get your individual copy!

In different information, I needed to share some nice information. As you possibly knew, I spent a yr at Harvard within the Authorities dept within the college of arts and sciences. I taught two undergrad stats lessons and a PhD course on chance and regression, each in Gov or what exterior of Harvard is sometimes called political science. It was an excellent expertise for which I’ll be thankful for the remainder of my life.

However now I’m doing it another yr — solely on the different Authorities faculty at Harvard. Harvard Kennedy College!

Strolling into the constructing and looking out round was additionally wonderful. It’s so cosmopolitan with college students and distinguished college from all around the world. The ground plan of its central entrance is a type of issues designed to create most interactions — a lot of locations to review, work together with one another, and a completely scrumptious cafeteria too.

Plus it has this lovely courtyard entrance. It’s centrally situated in Cambridge, close to plenty of retailers, eating places, espresso retailers. Although it isn’t by the Sq., it’s at its personal place close to it, and simply lovely.

So, I will likely be at Baylor this fall instructing historical past of financial thought to the undergrads. I used to be unsuccessful at getting both daughter of mine to take the course, however that’s okay — you possibly can’t win all of them. I’ll be coming again up right here to Boston steadily to get to spend time on campus, in my workplace, doing my analysis in my new workplace, roughly staying in my residence in Again Bay on the weekends, and catching a couple of residence Patriots video games.

Within the meantime, I ought to have a brand new revised model of my examine on the habits of autonomous AI brokers for empirical analysis which I’m enthusiastic about. And that’s about it!
