I was so ready to keep up last week’s momentum — I visited four different sites in three days — but instead I got a cold and have been out of the house only once since last Friday. Ugh.
On the up side, I’ve had more time to work on a paper revision due at the end of the month and, thanks to the enormous efforts of my research assistant/wife, have finally finished putting together a clean dataset of more than 40 years’ worth of Diyanet sermons (let me tell you, OCR technology is good, but far from perfect).
Here’s hoping all of you are healthier than me right now.

For more than a week; i have been reading papers about how having a “highly educated wife” increases the labour market productivity of their husbands. Jim, i guess in your case we see the clear evidence, right?
I hope you get much better soon.
A side info for curious people: Husbands effect on women’s labour market productivity is still unsettled in the literature…
Definitely, Berkay.
Thanks for the well wishes - I’m almost back to 100%.
Get well soon, Jim. Hope you’re keepin’ it real at ISAM without me!
Thanks Brett! Man, I only get to ISAM about once a month these days…mostly working from home. You have any plans to come out this way?
