school one year ahead of new jersey governor christie. i attended the cornell school of industrial and labor relations. i subsequently had had the privilege of working as a professor of economics and public policy at princeton university for the last 24 years, teaching and conducting research. i conducted research on a range of topics from job growth and social insurance, to terrorism from bond markets, to labor markets, from the economics of education, to the economics of super bowl tickets. i've tried not to be tied to a particular doctrine in my work, and instead have sought to develop the best evidence possible to test economic theories and estimate key parameters. this approach has often led me to collect original data and used metrics to steady policy changes. sometimes, my findings have been contrary to what i expected into the conventional wisdom among economists. in every instance, i have tried to win here to a standard of reporting my findings objectively, regardless of what school of thought they support. i also recognize that the data and evidence that economists and policy makers rely upon are not perfect. as a result, i strive to improve our debt and infrastructu
