Really excited to share that both my better half (@bfoxwilliams) and I were selected as 2024-25 @RussellSageFdn Visiting Scholars. Looking forward to joining such an impressive group of scholars.

Way to fight back in the second half! Stepped it up on defense and found better offense along the way. Contributions of all sorts up and down the roster.

On to Gane 2. Let’s go @nyknicks!

Excited to FINALLY release toughest+most rewarding paper I've worked on...

….we attack a 150 year old Walras question that's gone unanswered, not for lack of trying (Hicks, Samuelson, Arrow; our chances?😱)...

Q: Is the market equilibrium stable or unstable?¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Have you seen a better inroductory?

Solow (1956) :

Any other example? #EconTwitter

@DanSchneierNFL Dart is a young man and maybe he’ll get it one day, but to proclaim your love for Trump at this point in the timeline is extraordinarily disappointing.

Again, very much enjoy you guys’ content and maybe we’ll get some tennis in one day (I am athletic but I am an amateur lol).

[Morgan C Williams Jr @MWillJr]

@DanSchneierNFL I’m an academic. I honestly would prefer to keep my politics private and focus on producing research that could possibly inform evidence-based policy. However, I agree with Abdul in that some things are bigger than us and there’s a negative exceptionalism to the Trump admin.

[Morgan C Williams Jr @MWillJr]

@art_stapleton Art, Trump shared racist images of former President and First Lady Obama as apes. Delaney Hall is a stone’s throw away from MetLife—where mothers are reportedly being forced to breastfeed after consuming contaminated water. Is this really the Giants’ beat response?

[Morgan C Williams Jr @MWillJr]

@PLeonardNYDN Best I can tell: Pat is the *only* member of the “notoriously tough” @Giants beat who has been willing to call this situation for what is… a deeply irresponsible decision by Jaxon Dart to tie both himself and the franchise to the most corrupt administration in U.S. history.

[Morgan C Williams Jr @MWillJr]

@BrandonLondonTV Poor take Brandon. Dart took no questions after publicly proclaiming his love for a man that shared racist images of President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama as apes. That’s not a “difference of opinion” and only a fool would believe that Dart still has their respect.

[Morgan C Williams Jr @MWillJr]

@DHenryTV I’m old enough to remember when Trump shared racist images of former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama as apes. According to @JaxsonDart and @Giants HC John Harbaugh that’s a “difference of opinion.”

Very pleased that our review "Monopsony makes it big" for JEL is now officially forthcoming, joint with @SydneeCaldwell and Suresh Naidu.

Will post a WP version soon!

@SNYGiants … extraordinarily cowardly to me….

On the other hand, Abdul Carter stood on business today and I could not be prouder to have that young brother on my team.

[Morgan C Williams Jr @MWillJr]

@SNYGiants Jaxson is a young man, and maybe he’ll learn from this one day, but today was not the day. The fact that he was incredibly public with his declared love for Trump at a campaign rally, all while refusing to answer any questions about the fallout from it today, comes off as….

[Morgan C Williams Jr @MWillJr]

@rydunleavy Except Jaxson didn’t answer any questions about the consequences of his poor decision making….

[Morgan C Williams Jr @MWillJr]

@ShaunMorash With all due respect Shaun, this is a silly take. He participated in public campaign event with a president who not too long ago shared a racist image depicting former President Obama and First Lady Michelle as monkeys. The fact that Dart took no questions today was cowardly.

@mattyglesias It’s the NBA Finals. Mitch needs to tape that shit up.

@CPTheFanchise CP locked into that full Ron Browz mode. Time to play the lotto 😂😂😂

Let’s Go Knicks!

[Morgan C Williams Jr @MWillJr]

@geneclemons OK, Boomer. Lol. People on WFAN (and elsewhere) are really telling on themselves with this Dart situation.
