Spent a long time working on a paper in continuous time, which was elegant. But then a number of proofs and all the computation involved discretization and limits. So I gave up and went back to discrete time, and was amazed at how comparatively easy the results were.

New paper:"Disagreement in Information Networks" drive.google.com/file/d/1QMMl... I study how new information can generate disagreement through a network & fragility of the network to targeted information inputs. I analyze 3 empirical applications including Congressional Twitter interactions (below)

Preview of paper to come next week: information network of Congressional Twitter accounts from 117th Congress (2021-2023). Account position according to spectral structure, with party color added afterward. Node size is proportional to influence in amplifying disagreement.
