Welcome New Readers!

Last updated on September 16, 2012

Many of you have paid their first visit to this blog in the last few days, after my post on the trading game went viral on Reddit last Wednesday and Greg Mankiw linked to it on Thursday. If this describes you, welcome to my blog, and thank you for coming back.

If you wish to keep up with this blog, you have many options:

1. You can subscribe via Feedburner feed by clicking here or by copying the Feedburner link and copying into your Google Reader, or any other RSS reader.

2. You can subscribe via email by following the instructions in the right-hand column. You can choose to receive text or HTML versions of either previews of my posts or the posts themselves. After entering your email address, you will receive an email asking you to confirm that you want to receive updates via email.

3. You can follow me on Twitter by clicking here. Posts are typically published at 5 AM, and tweets announcing posts are typically scheduled for 9:20 AM.

4. You can subscribe to my Facebook profile updates by clicking here. Each tweeted post also appears on my Facebook wall, though do note that my Facebook also has more off-the-wall stuff.

I blog about development economics, agricultural development, food policy, economics, and empirical methods in the social sciences, with a few miscellaneous posts every once in a while.

I make absolutely no money from this website (no, not even when you buy a book on Amazon as a consequence of one of my links; that program is not legal in North Carolina), and I don’t ever intend to. I do this purely to contribute to current policy debates, contribute to my profession, interact with like-minded people, and become a better writer.

Oh, and I am always on the lookout for good topics. So if you’d like to see me write on a given topic, please email me.
