SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Genuinely Robust Inference for Clustered Data
DESCRIPTION:Conventional methods for cluster-robust inference are inconsistent when clusters of unignorably large size are present. We formalize this issue by deriving a necessary and sufficient condition for consistency\, a condition frequently violated in empirical studies. Specifically\, 77% of empirical research articles published in American Economic Review and Econometrica during 2020–2021 do not satisfy this condition. To address this limitation\, we propose two alternative approaches: (i) score subsampling and (ii) sizeadjusted reweighting. Both methods ensure uniform size control across broad classes of data-generating processes where conventional methods fail. The first approach (i) has the advantage of ensuring robustness while retaining the original estimator. The second approach (ii) modifies the estimator but is readily implementable by practitioners using statistical software such as Stata and remains uniformly valid even when the cluster size distribution follows Zipf’s law. Extensive simulation studies support our findings\, demonstrating the reliability and effectiveness of the proposed approaches.

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Internship Lab
DESCRIPTION:*RSVP required to attend. Click \"Join Event\" here:https://umich.joinhandshake.com/edu/events/1852141Are you ready to start searching for a great internship? Do you have a few ideas\, but you’re not sure where to get started? Let's talk about search strategy!! Get real-time\, personalized support by checking out the in person Internship Lab. You’ll be guided by one of our Career Coaches who hasdesigned this experience to provide you strategies\, tools\, and motivation to get on the right track with searching for internships. Chat with folks from the University Career Center to explore Handshake\,the University Career Alumni Network (UCAN) and to learn about other tools you can use to build a great job/internship search strategy. **If you're not sure what you're interested in\, consider making an \"Exploring Major/Career Option\" appointment to get started clarifying your interests with a career coach in a 1-on-1 setting. Recent Grads: If you are an alumni\, you will not be able to access the link due the University’s policy of discontinuing alumni Zoom accounts 30 days after graduation. Please contact careercenter@umich.edu with the subject line“Recent Grad Help” to receive either a recording of the session or tobe set up with a 1:1.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IOE 899 - Dr. Chandra Sripada
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Chandra Sripada\, Theophile Raphael Research Professor and Professor of Psychiatry and Philosophy at the University of Michigan\, for a seminar exploring the neuroscience of executive functions—the brain’s abilities to think\, reason\, plan\, and regulate behavior. Drawing on recent advances in computational cognitive science and neuroscience\, Dr. Sripada will examine how new understandings of these mechanisms shed light on both healthy and disordered cognition. He will also discuss emerging opportunities for applying these insights to operations engineering\, highlighting how knowledge of executive function can inform models of decision-making\, planning\, and performance in complex systems.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series - The Social Impacts of Energo-Waste
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIn this paper\, my co-author Sisty Basil and I explore the social impacts of energy-related detritus\, what we call “energo-waste\,” from failed or outmoded energy projects in rural Tanzania. The problem of electronic waste (e-waste) has captured public and scholarly attention\, especially in sites like Agbogbloshie in Accra\, Ghana with its dystopian vista of discarded computers\, televisions and other electronic trash. Energo-waste creates similar yet different problems and takes many different forms. Some can easily be classified as e-waste\, such as solar lanterns that no longer provide light\, power banks that no longer provide back-up power for mobile phones\, or batteries for solar panels that no longer store energy. These can accumulate in the corners of rooms or in trash pits behind homes to be buried or burned\, leaving a negative environmental impact either way. Others continue to mark landscapes with their presence: windmills and solar mini-grids that no longer produce power\, electric poles that no longer transmit or distribute power\, mini hydro projects decommissioned for being financially unviable. Far less obvious forms of energo-waste include the tens of thousands of acres appropriated from rural smallholders and transferred to foreign companies for the purpose of growing jatropha\, a crop once hailed as a clean biodiesel option but which quickly fell out of favor leaving large-scale land acquisitions sitting idle\; or the tens of thousands of acres of forest sequestered for carbon offset projects (REDD+) that similarly deprived local communities of their use but are now labeled “another failed conservation fad.” Drawing on long-term community-engaged work\, participant observation and interview data\, we ask: What are the social impacts of and responses to energo-waste? What harms and/or benefits does it produce\, and for whom\, both in the present and for the future?\n\nBiography:\nKelly Askew is the Niara Sudarkasa Collegiate Professor of Anthropology and Afroamerican & African Studies at the University of Michigan. Current research projects and publications focus on rural water and energy access\, postsocialist poetics\, pastoralism\, Indigenous political movements\, and land rights in Tanzania. She is also an award-winning documentary filmmaker.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Schubert Polynomials Lecture 10:  Degeneracy loci and vexillary permutations
DESCRIPTION:We give a (new?) simple formula for a degeneracy locus that characterizes back-stable double Schubert polynomials. Then\, we give 10 equivalent conditions for a permutation to be vexillary\, one of which is that its Schubert polynomial is a Schur determinant.
