SUMMARY:Well-being:SAPAC Wellness Wednesdays
DESCRIPTION:Wellness Wednesdays at SAPAC is an open and informal offering for students to engage with community and optional self-care resources including journaling\, art\, discussion\, mindfulness and movement. You are welcome to drop-in for a few minutes or stay for the duration! \n\nA SAPAC team member will be present. This is not a support group or a clinical group setting\, but we are here to hold space\, and provide connections to supportive resources if you have questions! \n\n\nLocation: SAPAC Shared Space - Rm 4100 (4th Floor Michigan Union)\nTime: 10am-12pm and 2pm-4pm\nDates: January 17\, February 21\, March 20\, April 17

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Inattentive Network: Evidence and Theory
DESCRIPTION:In this paper\, we provide novel evidence on firms' attention allocation in a production network. Based on internet traffic log files collected by EDGAR\, we construct a firm-level panel that measures firms’ browsing intensity on other firms’ electronically filed reports. We find that: (1) firms pay more attention to other firms that are closer to themselves in terms of network distance\; (2) firms pay more attention to other firms that are more volatile\; (3) a firm's absolute forecast error decreases in its total browsing activities. We then build a framework where firms rationally acquire information to set prices in a production network. The model’s predictions on firms' attention allocation are consistent with the empirical patterns. In this framework\, we show that the optimal monetary policy design significantly differs from that in a model where informational frictions are exogenously given.\n\n\nThis talk is presented by the Macroeconomics Seminar\, sponsored by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Michael Beauregard Fund for Macroeconomics and the Economics Strategic Fund.\n\nThis talk is presented by the International Economics Seminar\, sponsored by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Economics Strategic Fund.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Learning Seminar in Algebraic Combinatorics: Newton-Okounkov bodies
DESCRIPTION:The correspondence between lattice polytopes and divisors on a toric variety is a basic incarnation of a connection that extends far beyond toric varieties. In this talk\, we will give a gentle introduction to Newton-Okounkov bodies\, which provide a correspondence between convex geometry and divisors on a general variety. While Newton-Okounkov bodies are in generally very far from being polyhedral\, we will highlight an important situation in which the Newton-Okounkov body is polyhedral and what consequences this has for the geometry of the associated variety.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Anatomy of Sorting – Evidence from Danish Data\,” joint w/ Suphanit Piyapromdee and Jean-Marc Robin
DESCRIPTION:In this paper\, we formulate and estimate a flexible model of job mobility and wages with two-sided heterogeneity. The analysis extends the finite mixture approach of Bonhomme et al. (2019) and Abowd et al. (2019) to develop a new Classification Expectation-Maximization algorithm that ensures both worker and firm latent type identification using wage and mobility variations in the data. Workers receive job offers in worker type segmented labor markets. Offers are accepted ac- cording to a logit form that compares the value of the current job with that of the new job. In combination with flexibly estimated layoff and job finding rates\, the analysis quantifies the four different sources of sorting: job preferences\, segmentation\, layoffs\, and job finding. Job preferences are identified through job-to-job moves in a revealed preference argument. They are in the model structurally independent of the identified job wages\, possibly as a reflection of the presence of amenities. We find evidence of a strong pecuniary motive in job preferences. While\, the correlation between preferences and current job wages is positive\, the net present value of the future earnings stream given the current job correlates much more strongly with preferences for it. This is more so for short- than long-tenure workers. In the analysis\, we distinguish between type sorting and wage sorting. Type sorting is quantified by means of the mutual information index. Wage sorting is captured through correlation between identified wage types. While layoffs are less important than the other channels\, we find all channels to contribute substantially to sorting. As workers age\, job arrival processes are the key determinant of wage sorting\, whereas the role of job preferences dictate type sorting. Over the life cycle\, job preferences intensify\, type sorting increases and pecuniary considerations wane.\n\nThis talk is presented by the Labor Economics Seminar\, sponsored in part by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Abraham and Thelma Zwerdling Labor Economics Program.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Reciprocal activity as constraints on the biological production of work
DESCRIPTION:On small length-scales\, the mechanics of soft materials may be dominated by their interfacial properties as opposed to their bulk properties.  These effects are described by equilibrium models of elasto-capillarity and wetting.  In these models\, interfacial energies and bulk material properties are held constant.  However\, in biological materials\, including living cells and tissues\, these properties are not constant\, but are ‘actively’ regulated and driven far from thermodynamic equilibrium. As a result\, the constraints on work produced during the various physical behaviors of the cell are unknown.  Here\, by measurement of elasto-capillary effects during cell adhesion\, growth and motion\, we demonstrate that interfacial and bulk parameters violate equilibrium constraints and exhibit anomalous effects\, which depend upon a distance from equilibrium.  However\, their anomalous properties are reciprocal\, and thus in combination reliably define energetic constraints on the production of work arbitrarily far from equilibrium.  These results provide basic principles that govern biological assembly and behavior. \n\nBio: Michael Murrell received his BS at Johns Hopkins University\, and his PhD at MIT.  He then had a joint postdoctoral fellowship between the Institute for Biophysical Dynamics at the University of Chicago\, and the Institut Curie\, in Paris\, France. He now runs the Laboratory for Living Matter within the Systems Biology Institute at the Yale West Campus\, as part of the Biomedical Engineering and Physics Departments. His laboratory studies the non-equilibrium properties of biological systems\, as well as designs and engineers novel bio-inspired materials.  His group comprises a diverse group of experimentalists\, computational scientists and theorists all driven to understand some of the most fundamental questions in biophysics.
