SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Friday Lecture Series | Incentivizing Lending to Women Entrepreneurs: Evidence from Vietnam
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person and virtually on Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/9p7D9\n\n In collaboration with a leading Vietnamese commercial bank\, we evaluate the impact of two types of incentives to loan officers for the recruitment of women-owned or -led small- and medium-sized enterprises (WSMEs) as new borrowing clients. The average loan size in this segment is about $20\,000 USD (5x GDP per capita). 50 bank branches employing 550 lending staff are randomly assigned to one of the following treatments: (1) a monthly multi-category contest\; (2) a piece-rate incentive per loan\; or (3) control. The multi-category contest is inclusive in that it rewards not just the very top performing agents\, but also top performers among new agents (“rookies”) and most improved performers. We find that\, overall\, both interventions cause an increase in WSME lending\, particularly in later periods\, at largely similar magnitudes. In terms of spillovers\, there may be moderate negative impacts on non-WSME lending early in the treatment period\, but over time there is a significant\, positive spillover on non-WSME lending. Our results have the potential to inform policies to promote (W)SME lending through optimizing loan officer incentives. More broadly\, they provide some of the first experimental evidence from a high-stakes\, real-world setting on whether competitive or piece rate incentives better improve the performance of high-skill workers completing uncertain tasks.\n\nMarkus Taussig’s research and teaching focus on international business and strategy\, with a focus on emerging economies—especially those in Southeast Asia. More specifically\, he studies how firm performance and behavior is influenced by weak market institutions. He also has extensive experience and expertise in the global private equity and manufacturing (especially apparel) industries and in survey design and implementation of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cseas@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Prelim Seminar Series - Under Pressure: Evolving Heat and Drought Tolerance in Ipomoea purpurea
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Global change has brought higher-than-average temperatures and increased frequency of drought events over the last century. While some species can persist through adaptation in the face of anthropogenic stress\, the mechanisms underlying species persistence remain unclear. Leveraging Ipomoea purpurea lineages spanning 20 years\, I will compare how different temporal populations have responded to heat and drought stress. My dissertation will examine the impacts of environmental change on plant tolerance by addressing the following 3 major questions. First\, how is heat and drought tolerance changing across time and space? Second\, is heat and drought tolerance evolving through avoidance or escape strategies? Last\, what is the genetic basis of heat and drought tolerance in I. purpurea populations?\n\nPoster Photo Credit: Susan Lusardi

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Exploring Non-Linear Career Paths
DESCRIPTION:CEW+ and WISE are pleased to host University of Michigan engineering alumna Lindsey Kilbride\, who will share valuable insight on navigating career uncertainty\, embracing change\, and finding meaningful work beyond traditional pathways. This session will explore how to make intentional career choices\, leverage transferable skills\, and build a professional life that evolves alongside personal interests and priorities. \n\nAfter earning her degree in industrial and operations engineering\, Lindsey began a career that took unexpected and rewarding turns\, ultimately leading her to work far outside her original field of study. Through multiple transitions\, she learned how to apply her analytics and data science skills across new fields and roles that better aligned with her values\, strengths\, and interests. Her journey underscores the importance of adaptability\, continuous learning\, and the confidence to pursue non-linear career paths. Alongside her professional growth\, Lindsey has navigated career change while raising a family\, offering an honest perspective on balancing competing priorities\, setting boundaries\, and redefining success over time. Her experience reflects the challenges many students will encounter and offers practical insight into building a fulfilling\, sustainable career in a changing workforce.

SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Job Panel for Autistic Individuals 
DESCRIPTION:Even after college\, gaining employment and navigating the job market can be pretty challenging\, especially for autistic and otherwise disabled individuals. Here\, we (hope to) provide a space for students to learn and gain useful support in transitioning from college to a long term job and for faculty and staff to learn insider information about the challenges facing autistic individuals seeking employment.\n Discussion questions will be lead by participants\, but applicable subjects may include how to avoid or deal with both autistic or workplace burnout\, how to navigate the interview process\, how to create work life balance with a disability that can sometimes cause excess fatigue\, etc.\nOur panelists will include a professor in the social sciences\, an advocate and legal professional\, a social worker\, and an educator in STEM/the biological sciences.\nThis event is structured to appeal to anyone ranging from autistic students\, faculty and staff seeking to support autistic students\, disability advocates\, or anyone who just wants to learn about the challenges facing autistic individuals seeking to enter the workforce.\nPlease RSVP either through this google form (non-Umich form) or by this calendar invite (though Umich email\, though your attendance can only be seen by the club president).\n**Notes: This form is not through Umich or Cmich\, so only the Autism Spectrum Club President will have record you wish to attend. Zoom will be through a Umich affiliated account\, meaning that your attendance can be accessed by the university for up to 15 months. While this event is open to all individuals\, it is worth being aware of this fact. A Umich email is not required to attend this event.**
