The IIOC is over. My presentation went well even if the session was not well attended. I got a few good comments from the discussant, Mary Deily of Lehigh U. This alone makes he conference worth the time. In addition, I got ideas for two papers using data I have or have access to. I will have to contact my previous co-authors on these topics (more on these later). It was fun to catch up with old acquaintances and to meet new folks in my field.
Now on to Mannheim (by way of Chicago and Frankfurt).
