My whereabouts this week: I’ll be presenting two papers (and will do my best not to miss a dozen other very interesting presentations) at this year’s SOciety of Labor Economists meeting, in Boston, one of my favourite (& frequent) US destinations. If you’re planning a first time visit soon, here’s my two cents: New England springs are absolutely lovely, summers can be too hot… , but the clam chowder is always yummy! :-).
