I had promised myself I would resume posting regularly in August after taking the summer off from blogging, but it’s a busy month (as you read this, I am in the Peruvian Altiplano launching a field research project on quinoa), so here are the slides for my presentation of my paper with Nick Carnes titled “Why Do Members of Congress Support Agricultural Protection?” at this year’s annual meetings of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association.
This paper is now a revise and resubmit at Food Policy, and a revised, improved version is available; email me if you are interested in reading it.
