Hello, I hate to bother you on an off week, but I just wanted to let you know that my book is coming out April 2nd! An Economist Walks Into a Brothel is now available for pre-order. Regular readers know that this title is accurate. I really went to a brothel—a few, actually—and on different occasions. I went to study risk. A few years ago, I had an idea that the ways in which we price, buy, and sell risk in financial markets could apply to any market. Not only that, sometimes, when we go outside our comfort zones, we learn the most. Studying how risk is priced in non-conventional markets often exposes subtleties that we never saw before, enhancing our understanding of risk everywhere—in our jobs, in pension finance, and even in our daily lives.
