SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Faculty Workshop on Holistic Graduate Admissions for Excellence and Diversity
DESCRIPTION:Holistic admissions practices are an integral part of achieving both diversity and excellence when admitting graduate student cohorts. This workshop is designed to provide concrete strategies and evidence-based practices to support faculty and program goals in admitting diverse and excellent cohorts of graduate students. This workshop will provide members of graduate admissions committees an opportunity to develop their own holistic admissions tools.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Winds of Change: Technical Progress and Learning by Doing in the Wind Industry
DESCRIPTION:We measure technical progress and cost declines in the wind turbine industry\, accounting for large quality improvements that have occurred over time. As in many industrial settings\, we do not observe costs. Instead\, we infer them by modeling the turbine procurement process\, and estimate the model on the near-universe of global commercial wind farms built from 2000 to 2019. We find that while commonly reported measures of price per unit of capacity fell by 30 percent during this time\, latent quality-adjusted costs fell by over 75 percent. Underpinning these cost declines\, we estimate substantial learning-by-doing. A doubling of manufacturing experience reduces manufacturing costs by 26 to 29 percent. Though inter-firm spillovers per unit are relatively small\, in aggregate\, they rationalize a significant portion of the cost reductions over time.
