I am here to talk about international trade, conflict, and also stuff I don't know anything about. Assistant Professor at Florida State University.

Really proud of our new article in @apsrjournal! @nicoravanilla @MatthewJNanes What does citizen contact do to police attitudes in conflict settings? For those interested in bureaucrats, embeddedness, conflict, mix-methods (field experiment + inductive): https://t.co/aNfMVsb9D0

It’s been years of collaboration, hard work, and innovation — and we’re excited to share our software with you finally!
New software: "Projoint: The One Stop Conjoint Stop" (with @aaronrkaufman & @YusakuHoriuchi), makes conjoint surveys easier & less biased, including everything from a drag-and-drop web survey design tool to specialized analysis software. Comments welcome.

Search committees: the 100k H1B fee now appears *not* to apply to change of status applications, so F-1s and J-1s are exempt. See: https://t.co/Xma5icIarf

TL;DR version of my recent @apsrjournal article here via @lawfare
“Unlimited discretion does not equal unlimited power. Presidents can do whatever they want. But there’s a catch: If they do so—absent a certain level of support expressed by Congress—they are in for a world of hurt if the use of force turns out poorly,” writes @mphulme

New in @PNASNews : 🇺🇸 U.S. democratic backsliding hurts its image abroad 🤝 But it doesn’t erode foreign policy cooperation—yet. Tested this via survey experiments in 12 countries (N = 11,810) 📄 https://t.co/28TlnBkbPY

Want US regulations on automation? Make the robots foreign. Then citizens want similar policy responses to globalization. MD Mangini (**on job market**) and I show this in "Robots, Foreigners, and Foreign Robots" accepted @The_JOP (pending rep. check). https://t.co/4UjnXELc4N

Listened to the recent @ezraklein episode on housing affordability with @brianschatz ( https://t.co/Wly5m8Evmv). Lots of great material and I recommend a listen to the whole episode. At one point, Ezra and Sen. Schatz talk about compensating existing stakeholders to... 1/9

My mother sent me the video of Kamala Harris making dosas with Mindy Kaling years ago, and it contains what I still find to be her most relatable moment, namely when she is eating what is clearly a bad dosa and says "but the flavors are really nice". https://t.co/5e0aOA9u6y

If trade produces gains, why don't we simply use those gains to buy off the losers? This paper argues that compensating the losers can transmit information to voters about the costs of trade, undermining compensation as a political strategy. Great work by two great IPE scholars.
After 7 years, my research with @BobbyGulotty is out at @World_Pol! https://t.co/RHmCrMeviU When globalization harms a community, voters are expected to demand compensation programs. Why then would incumbents fail to provide additional compensation following an economic shock?

The Distribution of MIlitary Capabilities (rDMC) v1.0 is now published in @ISQ_Jrnl! Little changed in content since earlier public versions other than some coding changes thanks to others who found minor errors in my code and 1/
The Distribution of Military Capabilities (rDMC) dataset version 0.9 is now live at https://t.co/jmdj3Jtu9q Over the past 5 years, I produced a dataset of national inventories of over 18,000 types of military equipment globally since 1970. It is all now publicly available.

Super cool paper, and the thread here gets at some of the neatest insights; zero-sum thinking crosses partisan/ideological lines, though it tends to be applied to different issue areas!
Zero-sum thinking is a key mindset that shapes how we view the world. Excited to share a new paper on the roots and consequences of Zero-sum thinking with @sahilchinoy, @DrNathanNunn @SMGSequeira. A summary thread🧵1/23 https://t.co/wqk3BQ5lGZ

Bonus post: after writing this, I went to the Tallahassee Museum (which is more a zoo than a museum), and then to Trident Restaurant (a "sea-to-table" restaurant on apalachee bay). Tried coconut crusted invasive lionfish, speared in the bay by the restaurant owners! Some photos:
