القرار 1373 والحرب على الإرهاب
يشرح الكاتب بإستفاضة في كتابه أنه بالإضافة إلى إرهاب الأفراد والمجموعات يوجد إرهاب الدولة ويتميز إرهاب الدولة عن الدولة الراعية للإرهاب في أن الذي يرتكب الأعمال الإرهابية التي ترعاها الدولة هو فاعل غير الدولة التي تدعمه سراً أو علانية، أما إرهاب الدولة فعادة ما يكون واسع النطاق يستخدم فيه العنف بشكل منهجي ومنظم منتهكا القانون الدولي الإنساني وقانون حقوق الإنسان.

Teacher Effects on Complex Cognitive Skills and Social-Emotional Competencies
I exploit the random assignment of class rosters in the MET Project to estimate teacher effects on students’ performance on complex open-ended tasks in math and reading, as well as their growth mindset, grit, and effort in class. I find large teacher effects across this expanded set of outcomes, but weak relationships between these effects and performance measures used in current teacher evaluation systems including value-added to state standardized tests. These findings suggest teacher effectiveness is multidimensional, and high-stakes evaluation decisions are only weakly informed by the degree to which teachers are developing students’ complex cognitive skills and social-emotional competencies.

Are State Governments Roadblocks to Federal Stimulus? Evidence on the Flypaper Effect of Highway Grants in the 2009 Recovery Act
This paper examines how state governments adjusted spending in response to the large temporary increase in federal highway grants under the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The mechanism used to apportion ARRA highway grants to states allows one to isolate exogenous changes in these grants. The results indicate that states increased highway spending over 2009 to 2011 more than dollar-for-dollar with the ARRA grants they received. Rent-seeking efforts are shown to help explain this result: states with more political contributions from the public works sector to the governor and state legislators tended to spend more out of their ARRA highway funds than other states.

عالم بلا قانون : كيف تضع أمريكا القواعد العالمية وكيف تنتهكها
عندما لا يطبق القانون على القوي والضعيف تطغى الفوضى، يصح هذا على الأفراد وعلى الدول أيضا في عالم اليوم، حيث تتجاوز الدول القوية، لا سيما الولايات المتحدة، القانون الدولي، وتفرض إرادتها الطاغية، متى وحيث تستطيع، وما ينطبق على العالم لا ينطبق عليها لأن قوانينها المحلية ودستورها الفيدرالي لا ينصاعان لأية سلطة خارجية. هي من وضعت أسس القانون الدولي مع مجموعة الدول المنتصرة في الحرب العالمية الثانية، وهي من تنتهك تلك القوانين على نحو فاضح، والأمثلة على ذلك كثيرة : في احتلال العراق، وعدم الإلتزام بمعاهدة كيوتو السابقة للتخفيف من الاحترار العالمي إلى الإنسحاب من معاهدة باريس للمناخ، إلى الإنسحاب من معاهدات دولية وقعتها الدولة الأمريكية مع حلفائها الأقربين. يعري هذا الكتاب بروية، ومنطق قانوني حكيم، الإنتهاكات التي تتعرض لها القوانين الدولية، ويبرهن على أن الفوضى ليست لصالح أحد في التحليل النهائي.

Fiscal Spending Jobs Multipliers: Evidence from the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
This paper estimates the \"jobs multiplier\" of fiscal stimulus spending using the state-level allocations of federal stimulus funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. Because the level and timing of stimulus funds that a state receives was potentially endogenous, I exploit the fact that most of these funds were allocated according to exogenous formulary allocation factors such as the number of federal highway miles in a state or its youth share of population. Cross-state IV results indicate that ARRA spending in its first year yielded about eight jobs per million dollars spent, or $125,000 per job.

State merit aid programs and college major
Since 1991 more than two dozen states have adopted merit-based student financial aid programs, intended at least in part to increase the stock of human capital by improving the knowledge and skills of the state’s workforce. At the same time, there has been growing concern that the United States is producing too few college graduates in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Using microdata from the American Community Survey, this paper examines whether recently adopted state merit aid programs have affected college major decisions, with a focus on STEM fields. We find consistent evidence that state merit programs did in fact reduce the likelihood that a young person in the state will earn a STEM degree.
