1. The former president of Mexico, Ernesto Zedillo, and Minnesota Economist Tim Kehoe are giving a talk on globalization tomorrow night, sponsored by the Heller-Hurwicz Economics Institute (I'm hoping some freshwater/salterwater economics comes to the surface and things get heated).

2. Census data made accessible by the wonderful Minnesota Population Center allows researchers to more accurately measure the civil war death toll.

3. World Bank presidential debate continues here.

4. And another shout-out to the MPC, the 1940 US Census will soon be available:

When finished in about four years, it is expected to be the largest database of detailed information about people and their households ever made available.
