About last night: a thread that I know @AEACSWEP members will appreciate and all of #EconTwitter should pay attention to. (Note: This is my class for the Masters in *Applied* Econ students at @GWUEconomics and unfortunately PhD programs still aren’t this diverse yet.) – at Fairfax, VA

My @GWUEconomics class was graced with the visit of Nobel laureate economist Professor George Akerlof for a truly stimulating discussion of how economists should do better to see and understand the “small” and local—and the role of identity in economic decisions and outcomes.

According to @USCBO, America’s federal debt now exceeds the size of America’s entire economy. #GWAppliedEcon professor @DCECON spoke to @JamesRosenTV about what this means for you — and for @POTUS.
