I had a great time at the @stlouisfed last week. They have an amazing group of researchers at all levels of seniority.

It was great finally meeting @dandolfa and finding out that he too has roots in Lunigiana! 1/n

I also greatly enjoyed my conversations with @LeiboviciF and @AmSantacreu, who have been doing very interesting work at the intersection of international trade and macro. You should check it out. Here’s Fernando’s webpage: fernandoleibovici.com 2/n

And here’s Ana Maria’s: anamariasantacreu.com 3/n

I also met Sungki Hong: skhong.weebly.com 4/n

And @paures12: restrepo-echavarria.com/Welcome.html

Like Fernando and Ana Maria, Sungki and Paulina are working on very interesting projects. 5/n

But the group includes many other economists with exciting agendas: research.stlouisfed.org/econ/. My former colleague Oksana Leukhina is lucky to be there! 6/n

Oksana has been doing very important work on the return to education: sites.google.com/view/oksanaleu… 7/n

She and Paulina organized a stellar STLAR conference that I got to attend: cvent.com/events/st-loui… 8/n

I even found out that I am still a trustworthy visitor at the Fed. 😄 9/n

And I got to spend some time with my friends Gaetano Antinolfi and @MicheleBoldrin!

I hope to be back in St. Louis soon! n/n
