SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quick-Fixing: Near-Rationality in Consumption and Savings Behavior
DESCRIPTION:When optimizing consumption-savings decisions is costly\, people may instead rely on quick-fixes\, simple policy functions that avoid these costs. We introduce a model of quick-fixing. To study it empirically\, we field a novel survey that measures households’ consumption policy functions in response to income shocks. Almost 70% of households follow one of four simple quick-fixes that fully consume or fully save out of small shocks\, but they abruptly adjust their behavior for large shocks. This behavior accounts for almost half of the cross-sectional variance in marginal propensities to consume\, but is poorly predicted by other demographic and economic information. In an incomplete-markets model calibrated to match our evidence\, we find that quick-fixing is near-rational: the average opportunity cost of quick-fixing is only $17 per quarter. Yet\, this small\, empirically realistic deviation from the rational model significantly alters aggregate consumption responses to income shocks of varying sizes.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Bloody Work: Lexington and Concord 1775
DESCRIPTION:The William L. Clements Library is pleased to announce a forthcoming exhibition in recognition of the 250th Anniversary of the military hostilities that began the American Revolutionary War. The Battles of Lexington and Concord are firmly established in American memory as the culmination of a range of governmental\, political\, economic\, and social tensions that amplified in the decade leading up to 1775. In this exhibit\, visitors will have the opportunity to see original historical manuscript letters\, documents\, newspapers\, and artwork that reveal aspects of the bloody work of Empire and individual alike in April 1775.\n\nAmong the items on display will be Commander in Chief of the British Army\, General Thomas Gage's draft orders for the Concord Expedition\, April 18\, 1775\; a bundle of letters collected by former Sons of Liberty supporter Dr. Benjamin Church\, which he secretly turned over to British Army intelligence\; letters by Silas Deane\, John Hancock\, and Rachel Revere\; and much more.\n\nOpen weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series. Nutritional Imperialism: How Science Turned Difference into Sickness in China
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Dr. Smith will argue that starting in the early twentieth century\, the acolytes of a new discipline called nutrition science began to research Chinese bodies and diets in ways that made them appear to be inherently deficient and even pathological. Seeking to explain the unequal power relations that underlay the imperialist world order\, both foreign and some Chinese scientists blamed the Chinese nation’s political weakness and poor health on bad food choices. Although the age of formal empires is past\, the traces of what she calls nutritional imperialism persist.\n   \n   Hilary A. Smith is an Associate Professor of History at the University of Denver. She writes about the history of science and medicine in China. She is the author of *Forgotten Disease: Illnesses Transformed in Chinese Medicine *(Stanford\, 2017) and is currently finishing a book about nutritional imperialism. She has received a Fulbright US Scholar Grant as well as support from the National Endowment of the Humanities\, the Chiang Ching-Kuo Foundation\, and other awards.
