A unique institute in how it motivated big research questions in phil, econ, and psych. I owe a lot of my academic journey to GPI! Also, their econ pre-doc program was incredible. Constantly had great placements. #econsky01 Jun 2025 12:41 +0000at://did:plc:ukwpzexuawvrflatlyizx4ug/app.bsky.feed.post/3lqkbw5owoc2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/benleoecon.bsky.social/post/3lq5nh6dl722rFor those who teach Behavioral Econ, what textbook/s do you use? #econsky27 May 2025 12:03 +0000at://did:plc:ukwpzexuawvrflatlyizx4ug/app.bsky.feed.post/3lq5nh6dl722rhttps://bsky.app/profile/benleoecon.bsky.social/post/3lmz3omqqms2yJust got cooked by my mum 😭17 Apr 2025 12:19 +0000at://did:plc:ukwpzexuawvrflatlyizx4ug/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmz3omqqms2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/benleoecon.bsky.social/post/3lmddd4xdzk25Outrageous stuff from Declan Rice.08 Apr 2025 20:37 +0000at://did:plc:ukwpzexuawvrflatlyizx4ug/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmddd4xdzk25https://bsky.app/profile/benleoecon.bsky.social/post/3lm62tj7gb22uI'm thrilled to announce that I'll be joining Purdue University as a Clinical Assistant Professor in Economics!
