Congratulations to my student, Alessandro, who successfully defended his doctoral thesis this afternoon! Everyone who knows Alessandro knows this: he's a fine economist and a great friend.
Officially a PhD! Grateful for the journey and everyone who supported me along the way. I want to thanks my advisors @PIrelandEcon, Jaromir Nosal, @rosen_valchev and @micheleboldrin for the feedback and guidance during these years and @Roberto_M_Billi for his great support.

Long live Earl Thompson's noble spirit. And long live the economics department at Ole Miss, where that spirit resides today!
