On Monday April 12, the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies will present a “brown bag” lunchtime lecture hosted by Senior Fellow Al Elkins, entitled “Comprehending Complex Political, Legal and Economic Systems in the 21st Century.” Guest speakers will be Michael Bommarito and Daniel Katz of the University of Michigan, who will explore questions including:  How can we measure the relationship between US Treasury securities and US policy on energy and transportation?  What do state unemployment rates have to do with the structure of online communication networks among US political dissidents and radical Muslim organizations overseas?  How can tools developed to analyze the Enron e-mail data set be used to better understand changes in US federal law over time? 

The program will be held at the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies from 12-1 pm, and RSVP is requested.  Click here for more information and to RSVP for the event.
