What underlies differences in cultural diversity across societies?
The out-of-Africa migration.
Societies whose ancestors migrated farther from Africa show lower diversity in music, folklore, and social norms, values & attitudes.

Thanks for inviting me and the great discussion afterwards. Sorry that @ACDickens couldn't be around - he would've been more fun and knowledgeable about the Canadian TV context!

CDN TV emerged as a dual system of private (local) and public (national) broadcasters, yet early policy prevented the expansion of both into the same market. Local news differences across markets explains the direction of change in voter turnout and political accountability. 7/8
Hope to see you there!

Of potential interest to fellow Canadians! We reconstruct the mid-20th century Canadian television network from archival records and study TVs impact on political engagement/accountability. I am really proud of this one and it's my first time working on anything Canadian related.
How will future changes in the media landscape affect political engagement?
In a new working paper, @MIwanowsky and I find that the extent of local information contained within new media explains the direction of change in political engagement.

Thrilled that my work with @NippeLagerlof received the 2023 Best Paper Award from Economic Inquiry! Many thanks to the Editorial Board.
The Editorial Board of EI is excited to announce our Paper of the Year from 2023. The paper provides an interesting re-evaluation of how early agriculture impacts modern agglomeration. Congratulations to @ACDickens and @NippeLagerlof!
