I am also interested in other areas of applied micro — I currently have work in the areas of both family and environmental economics.

Reading: just started Jens Ludwig's new book Unforgiving Places. Not far in just yet, but so far it's great! I've never liked the Becker model for thinking about violent crime, so he's preaching to the choir there.
Riding: still thinking of switching out the drop bars for a flat setup on my gravel bar, still not done it.
Doing: I seem to be walking the dogs a lot right now
Cooking: still loving Madhur Jaffrey
