SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Place as Method\, Theory\, and Responsibility: Rethinking Scientific Inquiry for Complex Social Issues
DESCRIPTION:The challenge: New data and approaches to study complexity in the social world has often been without a concurrent focus on the foundations of scientific inquiry\, including complex thinking\, broad causal thinking\, attention to epistemic lens\, and integrating multiple disciplinary approaches. Further\, the academic research model\, with its resource-segregated networks\, discipline-specific training\, and short-term productivity metrics\, contributes to a fragmented and potentially misleading understanding of the social world. In the second annual ISR Symposium on Complexity in the Social World\, we will use ‘place’ as the case study to facilitate discussions on rigorous social science in the public interest.Using research on place as the case study\, discussion topics will include:Complex thinking about the social worldThe contribution of the humanities the study of the social worldEpistemic lens and research transparencyTheories\, frameworks\, and the limits of traditional causal inferenceThe draw and danger of cool new dataAddressing the challenges of the academic model of sciencePresentations on the science of place will include:The relational nature of place in population social inequalitiesThe role of history in shaping placeThe racialization of place\; the spatialization of racePlace as a neutral and rational driver of social inequalitiesApproaches to testing (causal) ideas around place

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Religion and Conflict: Evidence from China\, 1860-1911
DESCRIPTION:This paper examines the economic origins and consequences of religious conflicts during the late Qing China (1860–1911)\, when Christian missionaries entered a Confucian society. While the literature has attributed Chinese anti-missionary conflicts to the clash of cultures\, we find that the religious violence was attenuated by the level of economic complementarities\, through access to Treaty Ports and public goods provided by the missionaries. We further document negative economic spillovers of the anti-missionary conflicts\, as evidenced by the reduced foreign and domestic investments in modern industries. A key transmission mechanism was Western newspaper coverage\, which reinforced collective memory and deterred future investment. We also find long-lasting impacts on modern FDI flows and autarkic attitudes among local Chinese.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:When Milk Spills Over: Agro-Processing Industrial Policy\, Complementarity and Structural Change.
DESCRIPTION:Industrial policies combine multiple instruments\, yet existing research typically studies individual components or treats the bundle as a monolithic intervention. I examine complementarity in policy components of an agro-processing industrial policy\, Operation Flood\, the world’s largest dairy-development program implemented across Indian districts from 1970 to 1996. Digitizing the implementing agency’s annual reports\, I construct a district-by-year map of farmer cooperatives and dairy-processing plants. The components’ staggered rollout generated some districts with one component and some with the bundle. Using matched stacked difference-in-differences\, I find that village milk prices in bundle districts increase by 33% during the flush season. Neither arm alone shows any significant effects\, and I reject additivity for prices at the 10% level. A stylized model explains this complementarity.  Cooperatives alone can saturate local markets\, while plants alone cannot transmit the value of an additional outlet upstream. The bundle routes surplus milk to processing and passes value back to farmers. Turning to structural change\, the industrial employment share increases by 1.7 percentage points in bundle districts\, with no significant standalone effects. This increase comes mainly from non-food manufacturing\, with suggestive evidence of input-output linkages. The results show that industrial policy design must account for how market failures interact and how gains are shared along the supply chain
