SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE Department Seminar: Human Interaction in Aviation and Education
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Aaron Johnson\nLecturer\, Aerospace Engineering Department\nResearch Fellow\, Engineering Education Research (EECS Department)\nUniversity of Michigan\n\nAbstract: In this talk\, I will discuss and draw comparisons between my research into human interaction in the distinct—but relatable—fields of aerospace engineering and engineering education. Highly-automated modern aerospace systems employ flight deck automation to increase the efficiency and safety of systems while reducing operator workload. However\, there is little knowledge about how operators react to control mode transitions in which they take over control from the automation\, particularly the reversion from autopilot to manual control that can occur during safety-critical situations. In the first half of my talk I will present experimental results that show how an operator’s visual attention\, performance\, and cognitive state change when transitioning between autopilot and flight control modes. In the second half of my talk I will discuss how concepts from human-automation interaction can be applied to the study of interactions between engineering students and their instructors. I will present preliminary results from research conducted here at Michigan investigating how flexible classroom spaces\, which have movable tables and chairs that can be rearranged into different layouts\, support better student-student and student-instructor interaction. I will conclude my talk by outlining a vision for future research that leads to evidence-based improvements in undergraduate aerospace engineering education.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nAaron Johnson is a lecturer in the Aerospace Engineering Department and a research fellow in Engineering Education Research at the University of Michigan. He is interested in how students “make sense” of the different elements within their engineering education as they develop into practicing engineers. He is the (unofficial) Co-I of an NSF project currently studying the influence of flexible classroom spaces on teaching and learning. Aaron received his PhD in Humans in Aerospace from MIT in 2015\, where he was a Draper Laboratory Fellow. His PhD research used quantitative analysis of human-in-the-loop experiments and mathematical modeling to investigate changes in an operator’s performance and cognitive state when transitioning between autopilot and manual flight control modes. Aaron’s dissertation was awarded the 2016 Stanley Roscoe Award for Best Doctoral Dissertation from the Aerospace Human Factors Association. Aaron also holds a BSE from the University of Michigan and an MS from MIT\, both in aerospace engineering. Before returning to Michigan in July 2016\, he was a postdoctoral research associate at the Tufts University Center for Engineering Education and Outreach.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | The Softest Crystals
DESCRIPTION:Usually\, crystals have three-dimensional periodicity.  Smectic liquid crystals\, however\, have one-dimensional order\, even in three-dimensional samples.  These systems\, as simple as they might seem\, connect the physics of biomembranes\, superconductivity\, and even special relativity.  I will provide an introduction for non-specialists and show how this diverse set of ideas comes together in these very\, very soft systems.\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interdisciplinary Seminar in Quantitative Methods (ISQM): Identification and Estimation of Spillover Effects in Randomized Experiments
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\nI provide a non-parametric potential-outcomes framework to study causal spillover effects in a setting where units are clustered and their potential outcomes can depend on the treatment assignment of all the units within a cluster. Using this framework\, I discuss parameters of interest and provide conditions under which spillover effects can be identified in a randomized experiment. In addition\, I characterize and discuss the causal interpretation of the estimands that are recovered by three specifications that are widely popular in empirical work: a regression of an outcome on a treatment indicator (difference in means)\, a regression of an outcome on a treatment indicator and the proportion of treated neighbors (a reduced-form linear-in-means model) and a regression exploiting variability in treatment assignment probabilities in two-stage designs. Finally\, I provide conditions for uniform consistency and asymptotic Normality of direct and spillover effects estimators with special focus on the effect of potential outcome modeling assumptions and treatment assignment mechanism on inference. I illustrate my findings with data from a randomized conditional cash transfer pilot in Colombia and with a simulation study.\n\nBIO:\nGonzalo Vazquez-Bare is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Economics at the University of Michigan\, where he is also completing the M.A. in Statistics. He works on econometrics and methodology\, with focus on program evaluation and causal inference in experimental and non-experimental settings. He has worked with Matias Cattaneo and I in several papers on regression discontinuity designs\, and has an exciting research agenda on estimation and inference of treatment effects in the presence of externalities and interference between units.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899 Seminar: Molly Moore Jeffery\, Mayo Clinic
DESCRIPTION:Title: Digging into the opioid crisis: using administrative data to gain new insights into the opioid epidemic\n\nOpioid use has been declared public health emergency\, with legally prescribed drugs contributing to substantial morbidity and mortality from addiction and overdoses. We use administrative data from claims to study the past 10 years of the prescription opioid epidemic. \n\nWe find opioid use remains common\, with only modest reductions in prevalence of use from the peak of the epidemic in 2010-2011. Chronic users of opioids consume the majority of all opioids and often take very high doses (more than 100 mg morphine equivalents per day)\, placing them at high risk for adverse outcomes. To understand the risk of of non-users becoming chronic users\, we follow people who were opioid naïve filling their first opioid prescription in the Emergency Department (ED) and in other care settings. Prescriptions written in the ED are more likely to follow best practices for dose and duration of use\, and are associated with a lower risk of chronic opioid use than prescriptions written in other settings.\n\nFinally\, we explore an apparent anomaly in the data—a sudden\, steep decrease in average opioid doses that was caused by the removal of propoxyphene from the market. Despite decades of concern about its safety\, propoxyphene was one of the most popular prescription drugs until it was pulled in late 2010. We describe treatment courses for people using propoxyphene at the time it was discontinued in 2010\, finding large reductions in their opioid use as they were switched to alternative opioids at lower\, safer doses.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Macroeconomics: Product Revenue and Price Adjustment: Evidence and Aggregate Implications
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nWe find that the probability of price adjustment of a product increases with its revenue. The absolute size of price adjustment decreases. We show that these facts are consistent with menu cost models where the fixed cost of adjustment does not scale with product revenue. This dependence introduces a revenue effect where the price of products with higher revenue are more likely to change and are more responsive to monetary shocks. We also document that the mean and variance of the cross-sectional log revenue distribution decreases with unemployment. Together with our earlier findings\, this implies that the real effect of monetary policy is stronger in recessions than expansions. Using a quantitative menu cost model we show that output is more responsive to monetary shocks in low output states than in high output states. Lastly\, we provide empirical evidence of state-dependence in monetary policy transmission.
