I’m very pleased to announce that starting Fall 2009 I will be a new addition, by way of a courtesy appointment supplementing my primary appointment to the Law School, to the GMU Economics Department. The department has a wonderful reputation (and ranking) in law and economics (amongst other things of course: its entrepreneurial spirit and “Moneyball” philosophy, Austrian economics, Gordon Tullock, James Buchanan, pirates, economic history, and bloggers … lots and lots of bloggers …), a plethora of fantastic and productive scholars, and a ton of folks that I’m looking forward to getting to know a little bit better in the near future.
