Research Assistant for projects on the history of court-packing or international trade

I am looking for one or more RAs for quantitative empirical projects in the areas of corporate governance and/or judicial behavior. Both projects involve fairly large data sets; and both have a methodological bent with a focus on proper inference. They are suitable and, I hope, attractive for someone with substantial background and interest in quantitative empirical research. Experience writing efficient scripts in R or, ideally, Stata would be a great plus. Both projects could lead to co-authorship if the RA's contribution warrants it. Please send application to hspamann@law.harvard.edu.
