SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Auctions as Experiments (with Ryota Iijima\, Yuhta Ishii\, and Nicholas Wu)
DESCRIPTION:We study a seller who does not know the distribution of buyers’ values\, but can learn from observing their bids in an auction. Which auction formats provide better information about the value distribution? We show that among a large class of standard auctions (e.g.\, kth-price\, all-pay)\, the first-price auction is (Lehmann) most informative. Thus\, while all these auction formats yield the same expected static revenue\, the first-price auction is preferred by a seller who can use today’s bid observations to optimize revenue tomorrow.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Thesis Defense - The Effects of Land-Use History and Hurricane Disturbance on Soil Microbial Function in a Tropical Forest
DESCRIPTION:Advisor: Natalia Umaña\n\nDefense summary: Soil microbes drive essential ecosystem processes like decomposition and nutrient cycling\, but how they respond to different types of disturbance remains unclear—especially in tropical forests facing both historical land use and increasing storm intensity. In this talk\, I explore how long-term land-use legacies (“press” disturbances) compare to hurricane impacts (“pulse” disturbances) in shaping soil microbial functioning in Puerto Rico. I show that land-use legacies have stronger and more persistent effects on soil conditions\, enzyme activity\, and nutrient cycling than more recent hurricane disturbance. In contrast\, microbial functioning was largely similar between hurricane-disturbed and undisturbed soils\, suggesting resilience to episodic events. These results highlight the lasting impact of human land use and suggest that legacy effects may play a larger role than natural disturbances in shaping ecosystem responses to global change.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SRC Seminar Series Presents: Inherited Inequality and Obligation Within Families
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nInheritances represent a major channel of economic transmission across generations\, shaping both inequality between families and disparities within them. Yet much research on stratification treats families as unified actors that collectively pass resources to the next generation\, overlooking how parents actually allocate resources among their children. Using family fixed‑effects models and data from the Health and Retirement Study\, we examine how inter vivos transfers and bequests are distributed within families. We find that children who receive more financial support during their parents’ lifetimes are also more likely to receive a bequest and a larger one. Rather than compensating for earlier imbalances\, bequests appear to amplify existing inequalities among siblings. These findings highlight key mechanisms in the reproduction of advantage and offer insights for policies seeking to reduce wealth inequality across generations.  \n\nBiography\nAdriana Reyes  is an Assistant Professor of Public Policy and Sociology at Cornell University. Her research examines family demography and health disparities across the life course\, with a focus on how family ties serve as social capital and how they reinforce inequalities across race and class. Her work explores the ways intergenerational relationships\, living arrangements\, and caregiving expectations shape individuals’ social and economic well‑being. Professor Reyes’ current projects investigate racial and ethnic differences in intergenerational family relations\, the financial and health implications of household composition\, and evolving attitudes toward caregiving.
