SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Navigation Pain: Drip Pricing and Personalization in Two-Sided Digital Markets
DESCRIPTION:This paper considers two critical issues of platform design: personalized recommendations and drip pricing. In many online markets\, consumers often have little ex-ante knowledge of product features. In these markets\, how does platform design impact consumer welfare\, seller outcomes\, and platform profits? I answer this question in the context of the online market for hotel rooms using data from Expedia Group\, an online travel agency (OTA). I present evidence that in this market\, consumers do not ex-ante know product features\, including price. On the demand side\, this paper proposes an optimal sequential search model where consumers have rational expectations of the joint distribution of product features\, form consideration sets through page turns and clicks\, and make a final purchase decision from their consideration set. As for the platform\, I use LambdaMART\, a machine learning algorithm\, to create a mirror of the platform’s recommendation system. The search engine mirror allows for the supply side model where profit-maximizing firms consider how changes in price impact position on the page in search results. The proposed model and estimation strategies allow for platform design counterfactuals\, including changes to the order of search results and feature emphasis. The paper concludes by evaluating the welfare effects of personalized recommendations and drip pricing.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Patrick Flaherty\, Associate Professor\, Department of Mathematics and Statistics\, University of Massachusetts\, Amherst
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: We consider the problem of sequential multiple hypothesis testing with nontrivial data collection cost. This problem appears\, for example\, when conducting biological experiments to identify differentially expressed genes in a disease process. This work builds on the generalized alpha-investing framework that enables control of the false discovery rate in a sequential testing setting. We make a theoretical analysis of the long-term asymptotic behavior of alpha-wealth which motivates a consideration of sample size in the alpha-investing decision rule. Using the game theoretic principle of indifference\, we construct a decision rule that optimizes the expected return (ERO) of alpha-wealth and provides an optimal sample size for the test. We show empirical results that a cost-aware ERO decision rule correctly rejects more false null hypotheses than other methods. We extend cost-aware ERO investing to finite-horizon testing which enables the decision rule to hedge against the risk of unproductive tests. Finally\, empirical tests on a real data set from a biological experiment show that cost-aware ERO produces actionable decisions as to which tests to conduct and if so at what sample size.\n\nPatrick Flaherty is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst. His research includes large-scale genomic data\, hierarchical Bayesian models\, variational inference\, robust experiment design.\n\nhttps://www.math.umass.edu/directory/faculty/patrick-flaherty

SUMMARY:Presentation:The Clements Bookworm: “O Say Can You Hear?\, A Cultural Biography of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’”
DESCRIPTION:Mark Clague brilliantly weaves together the stories of the song and the nation it represents in his newest book\, \"O Say Can You Hear?\, A Cultural Biography of 'The Star-Spangled Banner.'\" Examining the origins of both text and music\, alternate lyrics and translations\, and the song’s use in sports\, at times of war\, and for political protest\, he argues that the anthem’s meaning reflects—and is reflected by—the nation’s quest to become a more perfect union. From victory song to hymn of sacrifice and vehicle for protest\, the story of Key’s song is the story of America itself.\n\nMark is Professor of musicology and American culture at the University of Michigan\; associate dean at the School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\; and codirector of the American Music Institute.\n\nThis episode of the Clements Bookworm is generously sponsored by the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:LaToya Ruby Frazier: Flint Is Family In Three Acts
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Stamps Gallery in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum\, Michigan State University\, and the Flint Institute of Arts.\n“No matter how dark a situation may be\, a camera can extract the light and turn a negative into a positive. In creating Flint Is Family In Three Acts\, I see the role of photographs as empowering and enacting visible change: in Act I\, the photographs bear witness and reclaim history\; in Act II\, the photographs reveal a hidden narrative\; in Act III\, the photographs are a catalyst for obtaining resources.”\n—LaToya Ruby Frazier \nFlint Is Family In Three Acts is a multi-part exhibition by renowned artist LaToya Ruby Frazier. For five years\, Frazier researched and collaborated with two poets\, activists\, mothers and residents of Flint\, Michigan\, Shea Cobb and Amber Hasan\, as they endured one of the most devastating ecological crises in U.S. history. Resulting in a monumental oeuvre of photographs\, video\, and texts Frazier developed Flint Is Family In Three Acts (2016-2021) to advocate for access to clean and safe drinking water for all regardless of race\, religion and economic status. The series records stories of surviving and thriving\, especially within racialized and marginalized neighborhoods in Flint\, to ensure that they remained visible in national debates concerning environmental justice. Drawing inspiration from the urgency in Frazier’s work\, which also sheds light on building equitable and inclusive futures\, Stamps Gallery\, part of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art &amp\; Design at the University of Michigan\, initiated a partnership with the Flint Institute of Arts and the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University to bring this important exhibition together for the first time in Michigan. As co-presenters of this landmark exhibition\, our goal is to offer a creative pedagogical platform that reaches broader audiences across Michigan and beyond - Flint is Family: Act I (2016-2017) will take place at the Flint Institute of Arts\, Act II (2017-2019) at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum\, and Act III (2019) at Stamps Gallery. The exhibition served as a catalyst to bring three disparate institutions together to deepen our understanding of individual and institutional agency in advocating for equity\, transparency and environmental justice in our respective communities\, while also highlighting the role of the artist as an agent for enacting positive social change.\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\, Tracee Glab\, and Steven L. Bridges with the assistance of Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan\, Rachel Winter\, and Rachael Holstege.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Respond/ Resist/ Rethink 2022
DESCRIPTION:Water is the lifeblood of civilizations\, the center of cities\, the foundation of creation stories and the connective tissue of culture. Water is a life force\, without it humanity will cease to exist. Fresh water is necessary for the survival of all living organisms on Earth. The human body is made up of over 60% water and humanity cannot survive without it. Water is a vital life source that holds (and generates) power. It is nourishing\, quenching\, and refreshing but has also been commodified\, polluted\, and politicized. From the Standing Rock\, Leech Lake and Fond du Lac reservations\, to the straits of Mackinac where oil pipelines threaten important waterways\, to the polluted Mississippi River and drying Colorado River Basin\, to water shutoffs in Detroit\, PFAs in Ann Arbor\, and the Flint Water crisis (to name just a few)\, ensuring access to clean water (and the sustainable ecologies it supports) is an ongoing struggle that requires intersectional\, intergenerational\, and collective knowledge sharing\, discussion and action to protect. \nCall for Work\nStamps Gallery invites the undergraduate and graduate students of Penny W. Stamps School of Art &amp\; Design to participate in a poster and video exhibition that responds to the prompt: The care\, sustainability\, and access to free and clean water is arguably one of the most urgent and challenging issues of our time “What can you do to spread awareness of water issues and conservation measures?”\nEligible students: submit your work using our online form by Friday\, August 19\, 2022 →\nEligibility\nMust be a currently enrolled undergraduate or graduate major in the Penny W. Stamps School of Art &amp\; Design.Eligible students may submit one work (poster or video).Time-based work must be submitted as a YouTube/Vimeo link.Timeline\nThe deadline for submitting work is Friday\, August 19\, 2022\, 5pm\, EST. A selection committee composed of students\, faculty\, and Stamps Gallery staff will review submitted work in the weeks following the deadline.Students whose works are selected will be notified by September 2\, 2022. The exhibition will take place from September 15\, 2022 - January 14\, 2023.Why posters &amp\; videos? \nPosters can function as catalysts for change. For generations\, posters have served as an effective tool to circulate ideas and messages to the public. Visually striking\, and designed to draw attention from passersby\, posters can be conversation starters\, invite people to pause\, reflect\, spread the word\, get involved. They have been a powerful medium for many conceptual artists and graphic designers to create powerful images and messages that could respond to immediate issues and be distributed widely. Similarly\, video art was another exciting immediate medium for conceptual artists in the 1960s and 1970s as the technology became more accessible to the masses. Video art provided an alternative to the dominant broadcasting corporations. Artists made experimental films\, recorded performances\, and first-person narratives that were then exhibited and screened at galleries\, museums\, and events. Posters and videos continue to be salient features in the 21st Century to respond to urgent issues and questions facing the present moment. \nContext\nStamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social\, political\, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd\, Breonna Taylor\, Ahmaud Arbery\, among many others that we will never know. National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races\, genders\, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality\, structural racism\, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the students in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality\, belonging\, respect? We launched Respond/ Resist/ Rethink in the fall 2020 to kick off the fall semester with student work paired with the work of leading artists exhibiting at the Gallery.
