Working Papers and Published Research
Tobin Project programming creates opportunities for scholars to share and receive feedback on papers and early-stage ideas. These discussions often serve as launching points for innovative new work that scholars develop into papers, published articles, monographs, and edited volumes. The research posted below has grown out of scholars’ interactions with the Tobin Project, which include support by Tobin funding, presentations at Tobin events, and inquiries conducted for our edited volumes. The ideas expressed in this research are those of the authors and do not represent the views of the Tobin Project.
