SUMMARY:Presentation:MPSDS JPSM Seminar Series - What would you do with £500? (...in your own words)
DESCRIPTION:MPSDS JPSM Seminar Series\nFebruary 5\, 2025\n12:00 - 1:00 pm\n\nIn person\, room G300 in the Perry Building\, and via Zoom.\nThe Zoom call will be locked 10 minutes after the start of the presentation. \n\nWhat would you do with £500? (...in your own words)\nCoauthors: Thomas Crossley (University of Michigan)\, Peter Levell (Institute for Fiscal Studies\, London) and Sofia Sierra Vasquez (University of St. Gallen\, Switzerland). \nA longstanding puzzle in macroeconomics is why individuals with similar levels of available liquidity can have very different marginal propensities to consume (MPCs). We use a new approach to better investigate differences in consumer behaviour in response to hypothetical\, one-off gains and losses: using open-ended questions and text analysis to understand the motives underlying consumers' decisions. We find little evidence that misunderstanding of the question or other response errors explain the puzzling responses. High-liquidity individuals with high MPCs often cite mental accounting motives. Apparently illiquid individuals report a range of coping mechanisms in response to a loss\, including labour supply responses\, relying on friends and family and selling possessions. This implies greater effective liquidity than narrow financial measures indicate. The analysis provides an example of the utility of open format survey questions in understanding economic behaviour. \n\nThomas (Tom) Crossley is a Research Professor in SRC and Director of the Panel Study for Income Dynamics (PSID). He is also a co-investigator (and former Associate Director) of Understanding Society (The UK Household Longitudinal Study\, sister study to the PSID). From 2016 to 2022 he was an ONS Fellow and member of the Office for National Statistics' Economics Experts Working Group (the ONS is the National Statistical Agency in the UK) and he was also for many years an advisor to Statistics Canada. Tom is an elected member of the Conference on Research in Income and Wealth (CRIW) and previously served as an elected Council Member for the International Association for Research in Income and Wealth (IARIW).  His research interests include household behaviour\, financial security\, and living standards\; the design\, collection and analysis of survey data\; and economic measurement more broadly.

SUMMARY:Performance:Tiffany Ng\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:University Carillonist Tiffany Ng performs on the Charles Baird Carillon\, an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower. The largest bell\, which strikes the hour\, weighs 12 tons\, while the smallest bell\, 4½ octaves above\, weighs just 15 pounds.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session\, followed by visitor Q&A with the carillonist. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8)\, and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Hearing protection earmuffs are provided for visitors. Be prepared to walk on ice and snow in the bell chamber during winter. Built in 1936\, the Charles Baird Carillon is not ADA accessible. Visitors with mobility concerns are invited to visit the Lurie Carillon.

SUMMARY:Well-being:\"Let's Talk\": Informal\, Drop-In Mental Health Counseling
DESCRIPTION:Trained mental health counselors are now available for drop-in conversations at different times and locations across campus\, including at Trotter\, the Spectrum Center\, South Quad\, the International Center\, and Bursley.\n\nThis informal\, confidential “office hours” style can be a great fit for students unsure about formal counseling\; for those with a specific\, time-limited concern they’d like to talk through\; or those seeking information on campus resources. Please note: this is not meant for crisis or emergency support.\n\n\"Let's Talk\" will run from January 20th 2025 to April 25th 2025. There will be no drop-ins the week of Spring Break (March 3rd - 7th). \n\nMonday: 11:00 am - 1:00 pm with Markie Silverman\, Ph.D.\, LP\, Room 2035 in Trotter Multicultural Center\nTuesday: 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm with Marcella A. Beaumont\, Ph.D.\, Room 3032 in The Spectrum Center (Michigan Union)\nWednesday: 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm with Emily Malinowski\, LMSW\, Room 1721A in South Quad Housing\nThursday: 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm with Ling Liu\, Ph.D. & Chunyu Xu\, M.Ed.\, M.S.Ed.\, Conference Room in the International Center\nFriday: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm with Kayla Douglas\, LMSW\, and Emily Powers\, LLMSW\, Room 2329B in Bursley Housing

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interdisciplinary QC-CM Seminar | From Vortexable Bands to Anomalous Hall Crystals
DESCRIPTION:The pursuit of fractionalized particles outside the extreme conditions of a quantizing magnetic field has been a longstanding quest of solid state physics. Recent experiments have reported fractional quantized anomalous hall states — the analogue of fractional quantum hall (FQAH) states but at zero magnetic field — in twisted bilayers of MoTe2 and rhombohedral graphene systems. When should we expect such unusual topological phases\, and what new phenomena should they have? To answer these questions I first introduce the framework of “vortexable” or “ideal” Chern bands. Vortexable bands have a fixed operator that introduces a vortex into any band wave function while keeping the state entirely within the same band\, just as in the lowest Landau level. Such bands admit trial wave functions for FQAH states\, akin to Laughlin states\, that are exact many-body ground states for short-ranged interactions in the absence of dispersion. Nearly-vortexable bands appear in twisted MoTe2\, explaining their fractionalized physics. I will present many body calculations showing tMoTe2 should admit a broad composite Fermi liquid phase (a non-Fermi liquid) centered around 3.6°. I will then shift to the stranger case of rhombohedral graphene whose fractional phases may be due to an anomalous Hall crystal\, a topological analogue of a Wigner crystal. Finally\, I will present an optical signature involving “extinguished” circular dichroism as a means to identify nearly-vortexable Chern bands.
