A Quick Return to Chicago

I was born in Chicago. I met my wife there and I will be there on Thursday and Friday.  On Thursday, I will given this talk at the University of Chicago.   My remarks will provide some "big think" on two recent academic papers of mine including this one and this one.   The UC Energy Policy Institute didn't exist when I was a graduate student.  On Friday, I will speak at a UC Booth School of Business Real Estate Conference. My talk's title is "The Future of Chicago".   If you want to see my slides click here.   As I get older, I have learned how to give a good talk.  People tend not to sleep or text when I'm up there.  I make my points and crack my jokes and then I sit down.
