Join us for an engaging session with Dr. Arvind Magesan, whose research spans political economy, applied microeconomics, and development. Dr. Magesan earned his PhD from the University of Toronto and has published widely on the intersection of politics and economics. His talk will explore how parties decide who gets to run for office, examining the trade-offs between electability, loyalty, and strategy. This session is especially valuable for students interested in political economy, public policy, or those considering courses such as ECON 405 (Political Economy of Public Policy) and ECON 559 (Topics in Applied Economics).
