On January 3-5, Carl Hase attended the American Economic Association’s annual meeting at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square. His paper ‘The Pass-through of Retail Crime’ (co-authored with Johannes Kasinger) was accepted for a poster session and was on display in the main exhibition hall. Following the conference, Carl was invited by Hema Yoganarasimhan for a month-long research stay at the University of Washington’s Foster School of Business. While there, he was able to present two of his papers to the faculty where he received valuable feedback.
