Very sad news from Italy, where the great economic historian Gianni Toniolo has died. He was a wonderful scholar and a generous academic citizen, both in Italy and on the European stage. Among other things he played an important role in promoting #econhist at the #CEPR. His history of the Bank of Italy was launched just three weeks ago at a glittering occasion in Rome. He was courtesy itself and was always very kind to me personally. He will be greatly missed. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam uasal.

#introduction My name is David Rosnick (he/him) and I've been with the Center for Economic and Policy Research (DC) since 2003 though currently located in #Boston. My PhD work was in computational #genetics, but I have been spending most of my work time the last few years on #election data analysis. Particularly, (with a great team at #CEPR) I have been demanding accountability for the #OAS actions surrounding the 2019 general elections #Bolivia. More on that tomorrow!
