Folks,
There are 3 overleaf accounts available for PhD students, these are available for you to use subject to some constraints. If you use LaTeX I strongly urge you to get one as it will make your life simpler and possibly improve supervision.
If I get more than 3 requests I will create some criteria to allocate these. But am minded to give them to more junior members of the programme.
Anyway, please let me know if you want one.
best,

Dear Econ and Behavioural Science folks!
Tim Cason from Purdue University—one of the keynote speakers at our 31 May workshop—will visit the Division a few days before the workshop. During his visit, he will be available for meetings and research discussions.
Tim is a leading expert in experimental economics, resource, and environmental economics. He has published in top journals, including those in the 'top 5'. What's important is that he is a very nice guy.
Tim will arrive on 29 May from the USA. If jet lag permits, he will be available that day and will be around on 30 May. He will be given a desk in office room 3B51, so feel free to come and say hi when you are around.
More information about Tim can be found on his website: [insert website link]. https://sites.google.com/view/tim-cason/research
I would invite PhD supervisors to encourage PhD students to meet one-on-one or in a small group with Tim.
Let me know if you want to meet and I will arrange.
Best wishes,
Mirko
