Joel Mokyr invited me to present my JMP at an econ workshop when I was still a grad student (the only grad student among presenters). I was terrified. Spotting me lost at dinner, he came over to discuss my work with genuine curiosity. That early encouragement meant a lot. Glad to see him honored.

She interviewed me about how and why I write? Things I hadn’t thought so much about before this interview. Read the whole series!

Second, there's a general theorem that says as long as you continue to produce at home goods similar to what's imported, some people will be left worse off from trade, regardless of what they consume. Furthermore, the larger the net gains, the larger the redistributive effects in general.

I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’

I have been forced to move my classes online.

New Etched in Marble post: catherineeunicedevries.substack.com/p/etched-in-...

Timothy Garton Ash has for decades chronicled Europe’s upheavals with a historian’s depth & a journalist’s eye.

In my conversation with Garton Ash, one theme stood out: writing as a defense of democracy.

I'm truly honored to receive this year's Kershaw Award. I came into the policy research world almost by accident after a failed stint in the Australian Baseball League. To have my work recognized like this is a testament to the wonderful mentors and colleagues I've learned from these past 10 years.
