Read about my work with my great coauthor @GManMac forthcoming at the JOP!.
“When Do Voters Reward Overtly Religious Appeals?” w/ @abaldama is forthcoming in @The_JOP! Building on @AlbertsonB2 @PaulDjupe @ndrewwhitehead Perry Campbell +, we examine when politicians might use *overtly* religious rhetoric instead of cloaked appeals.

His scholarship on electoral fraud is truly groundbreaking. But he will be remembered more for the moments he shared with people: going for early morning runs to swear a hangover, going to Six Flags as his good-bye from Mexico City before moving to San Diego, getting cheap pizza.

Everyone that met Francisco would tell you how a great guy he was. He was such an easy person to talk about any subject. His curious mind was willing to engage in anything from history to sports to religion to food to political science.

Francisco was the best among us. He was not only a grear scholar, but amazing human being and friend. We had just texted a couple of weeks ago. He will be sorely missed. Our friendship began even before we were academics, as we were roommates before he started his PhD.

We show that not only are folks more willing to redistribute when "luck" is causing inequality, but that they are particularly more like to redistribute when the source of such "luck" is the action of an authority.

Ultimate test for whether someone is a nice person or not. Do they recline their seats on flights/trains/buses?.
