During an absolutely amazing Kansas State versus Xavier double-overtime NCAA game, I learned some amazing news about the Duke Blue Devils. It wasn't about Duke's upcoming game against Purdue tonight, but the news made me as wildly happy as the Cameron Crazies during a blow out of cross town rival UNC.
David Skarbek accepted an offer to join the political science department at Duke University as a Searle Assistant Professor, where he will work with public choice superstar (and infamous chauffeur for Keynes in "Fear the Boom and Bust") Michael Munger.
Please join me in congratulating David in having this outstanding opportunity. And since my bracket is blown anyway, you know who I am rooting for to win the NCAA now! Go Blue Devils.
Congrats to Mr. Skarbek and Duke!

That is great news David. It really is at the intersection of economics and political science where a lot of interesting questions need to be addressed.

Keep in mind that Bentham's real head rotted long ago, but the body is still his, at least as well preserved as Lenin's.
Dave will be in the same department as one of the ones that Timur Kuran is in.
