Successfully defended my Honors Thesis in Economics at Lafayette College, where I was a Lafayette-Jamaica scholar. Definitely my most rigorous academic undertaking yet.

Housing prices capitalize school quality, crime, and taxes. Do they also capitalize political representation? I find property values fall ~7.9% when partisan control of the district flips.

...suggesting political representation is capitalized as a non-pecuniary amenity alongside school quality and other local attributes.

Happy to share a super early draft of my job market paper on how redistricting affects housing markets. Properties redistricted into a district controlled by the opposing party lose about 8% in market value (1/2) https://t.co/3TSypH8Gdc

So 1.5/2 of my advisors like my job market paper idea and so this is a huge win (for my sanity)
