SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral\, and Experimental Economics (SBEE)
DESCRIPTION:In finitely repeated prisoner dilemma games\, two-person teams start with significantly less   cooperation than individuals\, consistent with results from the psychology literature. This quickly gives way to teams cooperating more than individuals. Team dialogues show increased payoffs from cooperation\, along with anticipating opponents’ recognition of same\, provides the basis for cooperation\, even while fully anticipating defection near the end game. A strong status quo bias in defecting across super-games limits unraveling. Defecting typically occurs’ one round earlier across super-games\, consistent with low marginal\, or even negative\, benefits of more than one-step-ahead defection. We briefly discuss the effect of cheap talk between opponents on outcomes\, and the driving forces for the results observed with cheap talk.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:​Abstract: \nWe examine whether returns to capital are higher for farmers who borrow than for those who do not\, a direct implication of many credit market models. We measure the difference in returns through a two‐stage loan and grant experiment. We find large positive investment responses and returns to grants for a random (representative) sample of farmers\, showing that liquidity constraints bind. However\, we find zero returns to grants for a sample of farmers who endogenously did not borrow. Thus we find important heterogeneity\, even conditional on a wide range of observed characteristics\, which has critical implications for theory and policy.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar with Dr. Bree Rosemblum
DESCRIPTION:My research focuses on the processes that generate and threaten biological diversity. How are new species formed and why are species being lost at such an alarming rate in our contemporary world? Specifically\, I am interested in the fundamental processes that affect biodiversity: speciation and extinction. I focus on understanding mechanisms of rapid evolution across levels of organization -- from genes to ecosystems. I am motivated by research questions that cross scales\, and my lab uses diverse methods from field studies to laboratory experiments to full-genome sequencing. For this seminar\, I will present recent results from studies on two core systems I have been developing over the last decade. I will discuss insights into wildlife declines gained from studying disease-related extinctions in amphibian populations. I will then discuss insights into evolutionary predictability gained from studying rapid adaptation in desert lizard populations. Overall I hope to share the importance of understanding organismal response to changing environments.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/nVbGwNz8rCg

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: \"Progressive Thought after the End of Progress: The Longevity of an Idea in the 20th Century\"
DESCRIPTION:The idea of progress is closely related to the modern time regime that\, according to Reinhart Koselleck\, emerged around 1800. Historians commonly associate the 19th century with the widespread hope for a better future to be brought about by the advances of science and technology. By contrast\, in the 20th century\, observers located the death of progress in the industrialized mass killings of the world wars or the alleged transformations from modernity to postmodernity in the 1970s. These obituaries\, however\, should not be transferred into historiography as they overlook the continuing appeal of the idea of progress among scientific and technical as well as political elites throughout the century and into our present. \n\nRüdiger Graf (PD\, PhD) is currently the head of the research unit on the History of Economic Thought and Practice at the Center for Contemporary History\, Potsdam. He studied history and philosophy at Berlin and Berkeley. In 2006\, he received his PhD with a study on “The Future of Weimar Germany. Crises and Appropriations of the Future 1918-1933” at Humboldt University and\, in 2013\, his habilitation with a book on oil “Oil und Sovereignty. Petroknowlegde and Energy Policy in the United States and Western Europe in the 1970s”at Ruhr-University Bochum. He was a visiting scholar at New York University\, a Kennedy-Fellow at the Center for European Studies at Harvard University and a Fellow at the Historisches Kolleg in Munich. Apart from the history of Weimar Germany and the history of oil and energy\, he also published on historical theory and methodology.\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis lecture is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Comedy of Consent: Shakespeare’s Dream of Politics
DESCRIPTION:Joseph Loewenstein\, Washington University professor and a specialist in Renaissance Literature and Cuture\, unearths the constitutional politics of Shakespearean comedy and considers Shakespeare’s meditation on publicness in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. He says\, \"For all their remarkable achievements in fine arts\, literature\, astronomy\, philology\, mathematics\, and engineering\, Renaissance Europeans had few successes as political theorists. Or so we are told. But if we look in odd places—in the comedies of Shakespeare\, and in one or two of his tragedies—we may find that a few concepts crucial to modern political theory receive sustained attention. This lecture will consider two of them briefly\, and one at length.\"  \n\nSponsored by U-M Library and the English Department\, in conjunction with the exhibit Shakespeare on Page and Stage: A Celebration http://www.lib.umich.edu/events/shakespeare-page-and-stage-celebration and the commemoration of the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture. Putin’s Kleptocracy: Who Owns Russia?
DESCRIPTION:The raging question in the world today is who is the real Vladimir Putin and what are his intentions. Karen Dawisha’s research provides an answer\, describing how Putin got to power\, the cabal he brought with him\, the billions they have looted\, and his plan to restore the Greater Russia. She presents extensive new evidence about the Putin circle’s use of public positions for personal gain even before Putin became president in 2000. She documents the establishment of Bank Rossiya\, now sanctioned by the US\; the rise of the Ozero cooperative\, founded by Putin and others who are now subject to visa bans and asset freezes\; the links between Putin\, Petromed\, and “Putin’s Palace” near Sochi\; and the role of security officials from Putin’s KGB days in Leningrad and Dresden\, many of whom have maintained their contacts with Russian organized crime.\n\nKaren Dawisha is the Walter E. Havighurst Professor of Political Science and founding director of the Havighurst Center for Russian and Post-Soviet Studies at Miami University in Oxford\, Ohio. She received her Ph.D. from the London School of Economics\, and her research and teaching focus on post-communist transitions and Russian politics. Dawisha’s latest work\, Putin’s Kleptocracy: Who Owns Russia? (Simon & Schuster 2014)\, chronicles the rise of Vladimir Putin during his time in St. Petersburg in the 1990s. With painstaking research to support her claims\, Dawisha exposes how Putin’s friends and coworkers from his formative years have accumulated mass amounts of wealth and power. She has been featured in the New York Times\, The Economist\, The Wall Street Journal\, and Foreign Affairs\, and has spoken at the Woodrow Wilson Center\, U.S. State Department\, and the Hudson Institute.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Lecture: Ships and Shippers of Pre-Modern Southeast Asia: A Neglected Link in Eurasian Trade Systems
DESCRIPTION:Until recently\, historians were content to acknowledge the sailing skills of the Austronesian speaking people of Southeast Asia\, without granting them any agency in World history. Triggered by sustained progress in the archaeology of both coastal sites and shipwrecks in Southeast Asia\, and by a reconsideration of textual sources of the past two millennia\, a new paradigm is now emerging\, where these same people play an active role as shipbuilders\, shipmasters\, and entrepreneurs in pan-Asian trade networks.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nPierre-Yves Manguin is emeritus professor of archaeology at the Ecole française d'Extrême-Orient (EFEO\, French School of Asian Studies\, Paris). His research focuses on early history and archaeology of coastal states and trade networks of Southeast Asia. Starting in the early 1980s\, he has lead archaeological work in the South Sumatra and West Java in Indonesia\, and in the Mekong Delta in Southern Vietnam\, focussing on harbour-city sites situated along the main trade routes\, and on shipwreck sites of Indonesia. He has published on themes related to the archaeology of the early states of Srivijaya (South Sumatra)\, Funan (Mekong Delta)\, Tarumanagara (West Java)\, and on trade and state formation processes in Southeast Asia.\n\nOrganized by the Center for Southeast Asian Studies\; co-sponsored by the Center for South Asian Studies\, Department of Anthropology\, Museum of Anthropological Archaeology\, and  Doctoral Program in Anthropology and History.
