SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - The challenges\, opportunities\, and game changers of adapting to a changing climate
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary - Adapting to climate change involves different issues -- and a different mindset -- than greenhouse gas reduction\, and its challenges are equally pressing. We’ll need to adapt in every community and nation\, in every sector of society\, and\, importantly\, in all habitats and ecosystems. There is a nearly boundless need for deep thinking and careful strategizing about how to adapt to a changing climate. We must be thoughtful about the climate challenges and risks we face\, the various adaptation tactics that are available\, and the hang-ups\, conflicts\, and tradeoffs among those challenges and tactics that might be hidden from view. This seminar will explore climate change adaptation for species and ecosystems\, with an emphasis on constraints\, innovation\, and ways to engage the public in adaptation discourse. The talk will also introduce the Midwest Climate Adaptation Science Center\, an organization providing science to guide adaptation practice in our region.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Identification and Estimation of Causal Effects in High-Frequency Event Studies
DESCRIPTION:We provide precise conditions for nonparametric identification of causal effects by high-frequency event study regressions\, which have been used widely in the recent macroeconomics\, financial eco- nomics and political economy literatures. The high-frequency event study method regresses changes in an outcome variable on a measure of unexpected changes in a policy variable in a narrow time window around an event or a policy announcement (e.g.\, a 30-minute window around an FOMC an- nouncement). We show that\, contrary to popular belief\, the narrow size of the window is not sufficient for identification. Rather\, the population regression coefficient identifies a causal estimand when (i) the effect of the policy shock on the outcome does not depend on the other variables (separability) and (ii) the surprise component of the news or event dominates all other variables that are present in the event window (relative exogeneity). Technically\, the latter condition requires the ratio between the variance of the policy shock and that of the other variables to be infinite in the event window. Under these conditions\, we establish the causal meaning of the event study estimand corresponding to the regression coefficient and the consistency and asymptotic normality of the event study estimator. Notably\, this standard linear regression estimator is robust to general forms of nonlinearity. We apply our results to Nakamura and Steinsson’s (2018a) analysis of the real economic effects of monetary pol- icy\, providing a simple empirical procedure to analyze the extent to which the standard event study estimator adequately estimates causal effects of interest.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Improving Sleep: Cognitive Behavior Therapy Group for Insomnia
DESCRIPTION:Do you struggle with insomnia\, chronic sleep disturbances\, daytime fatigue\, and/or difficulties managing stress? Is it hard to prioritize quality sleep every night? Is maintaining a consistent sleep schedule challenging?\n\nTo address these concerns\, the Psychological Clinic at the Mary A. Rackham Institute will be offering a 6-week virtual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) group for Insomnia\, starting on Thursday\, March 6\, 2025. This group will incorporate evidence-based CBT techniques\, psychoeducation\, group discussions\, and practical exercises aimed at improving sleep quality and addressing the underlying factors contributing to insomnia.\n\nThe goal of the group is to empower participants with strategies to re-establish healthy sleep patterns\, manage racing thoughts\, and reduce the frustration and stress that often accompany sleep difficulties.\n\nWorkshop Details\n+ Who is this for: Individuals that struggle with falling or staying asleep\, feel unsatisfied with their sleep quality\, experience stress or worry about sleep and/or wish to learn practical\, sustainable techniques to improve their sleep.\n+ When: 4-5:30 p.m. on Tuesdays\, beginning on March 6.\n+ How long: Each weekly session lasts 90 minutes\, for 6 weeks.\n+ Where: Virtually\, on Zoom.\n+ How to Register: Each participant must complete a 30-minute screening appointment to ensure the group is a good fit for their needs. Contact the MARI Call Center at (734) 615-7853 or complete our secure\, online registration form to get started. Current MARI clients may not need to complete a screening.\n+ Cost: Each weekly session is billed at $45\, plus a one-time cost for the screening session ($20). Some insurances accepted.
