Sorry for the SPAM but I think many of you might find today's talk in the PPE Seminar
very interesting.

The paper has an interesting structural estimation that could be applied to other
questions.

Subject: [junior] [ppe_list] Postive Political Economy Series Today
Please join us on Thursday, October 23 at 4:30pm (Room K354 of CGIS Knafel, 1737 Cambridge
St.) for the next Positive Political Economy Series of the Fall 2014 semester.
University of Pennsylvania Professor Camilo Garcia-Jimeno, will present, "State
Capacity and Economic Development: A Network Approach."
The Faculty of Arts and Sciences and The Institute for Quantitative Social Science at
Harvard University are sponsoring a seminar on formal and quantitative political research.
The Program on Positive Political Economy (PPE) supports research-related activities that
integrate the study of economics and politics, whether by studying economic behavior in
the political process or political behavior in the marketplace. In general, positive
political economy is concerned with showing how observed differences among institutions
affect political and economic outcomes in various social, economic, and political systems
and how the institutions themselves change and develop in response to individual and
collective beliefs, preferences, and strategies. All interested faculty and students are
invited to attend.
