This paper of mine with @JamesDean595 is now accepted at the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization. James and I continue efforts to bring in longitudinal data regarding income mobility in relation with measures of economic freedom. This time its measures of "low income" (i.e., poverty) and we find that persistent low-income status in Canada is associated with less regulated labor markets and low taxes. We also find that government consumption spending is associated with more persistent low-income statuses. However, transfers spending has no such association.

Some personal news: my tenure track position at NDSU will be a budget casualty next May. While I’ve only been in Fargo for a year, I’m thankful for my great colleagues and friends here. I’m not quite sure where I’ll be going next, but I’m excited to see what’s on the horizon.
Thank you so much, @PIrelandEcon! I've benefitted greatly from your generosity with your time and your advice, and I am certainly a better economist because of your help. Now to do the work at NDSU!
Congratulations to @JamesDean595, who successfully defended his doctoral thesis in Economics @wvuchambers today and is off to a new job at NDSU! Students there will soon learn what I already know: James is an excellent economist and a great teacher!
I am infinitely proud to announce to you, friends, the now DOCTOR @JamesDean595 , just passed his PhD job market paper defense @WestVirginiaU / @wvuchambers ! SUPER PROUD of my brother (and maybe I am lightly crying rn?)
.@VincentGeloso and I recently got our study on Canadian income mobility published in the Journal of Institutional Economics, and we wrote a summary for @iedm_montreal. Check out Vincent’s thread about it!
Thread: Economic freedom matters for income mobility -- at least if you look at Canadian data. A few days ago, @JamesDean595 of WVU and I received news that the Journal of Institutional Economics accepted our paper and @iedm_montreal asked us to summarize our work #econtwitter
