Me Being Cited in Academia on the Minimum Wage

Well my H-Index is skyrocketing through the roof! OK, by this I mean that I got cited in a short academic paper a couple years ago by Audrey Kline who is an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Louisville. 

The eight page academic paper is titled "Students are smarter, but have they changed?' In the piece, she cites an article I wrote for The Mises Institute on the minimum wage. 

​Recently, Mises Daily published a great article, “Yes, Minimum Wages Still Increase Unemployment,” by Andrew Syrios. I have talked about this topic throughout the semester, not only because it is course appropriate, but also because a local ordinance was passed recently to increase the minimum wage here, and the state has taken up the issue. Even better, I was covering price controls in class the day the Syrios article appeared—perfect timing! I pushed it out to students through our online platform. I figured the article would surely help me reinforce with students why price controls distort markets with another piece of evidence from outside the textbook. 

Nice!
