SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Bid Timing and Market Efficiency in the Energy Transition.
DESCRIPTION:Utility-scale batteries play an increasingly active role in electricity markets by arbitraging energy across time\, yet their efficiency depends critically on market design. This paper studies a prevalent feature of real-time electricity auctions: bid lead time\, which requires batteries to commit bids in advance of dispatch. Using comprehensive 15-minute bidding and settlement data for all utility-scale batteries in ERCOT from 2018–2025\, we document active dynamic bidding\, rapid responses to price shocks\, and the importance of recent price information for forecasting. We develop an equilibrium model of electricity markets with dynamic battery bidding and show that longer bid lead times substantially reduce operational efficiency and profits\, and dampen complementarity between batteries and renewable energy. Allowing bids to depend on state of charge significantly mitigates these losses. Our results highlight bid lead time as a key determinant of battery performance and market outcomes.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Neyman-Orthogonal Tests for Equality of Regression Functions
DESCRIPTION:We develop a test for equality of regression functions across two populations that allows unequal covariate distributions and uses flexible modern learners for regression estimation. We target the regression contrast through pseudo-residuals\, which we construct by multiplying residuals from the pooled outcome regression by the difference between the population indicator and its propensity. Under overlap\, the conditional mean of the proposed pseudo-residuals identifies the regression contrast. Furthermore\, the pseudo-residuals satisfy Neyman orthogonality\, which removes the first-order population bias from nuisance estimation and allows us to test the regression contrast under weaker nuisance estimation rate requirements. To construct our test statistic\, we embed the conditional moment of the pseudo-residuals in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS)\, leading to a simple closed form expression and calibrate its empirical norm using a Gaussian multiplier bootstrap. We establish a finite-sample calibration bound that separates oracle Gaussian approximation\, nuisance estimation\, and covariance estimation errors. Our main result gives conditions under which we can use the same observations for both nuisance fitting and testing\, yielding valid and powerful inference without sample splitting. In a fixed Gaussian regression model\, we establish matching lower and upper bounds for the minimax separation order (n^{-1/2}) in the RKHS discrepancy and show that the proposed test attains this order. We conduct extensive numerical studies to examine size and power across learners and demonstrate power gains over a single sample split and other competitors and illustrate the test on an exploratory application to negotiation dialogues for regression comparison with text covariates.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SAPAC GROWE: Engendering Respectful Communities Workshops - SY26 - 27
DESCRIPTION:Engendering Respectful Communities (ERC) is a one session workshop that engages graduate students in meaningful dialogue about various forms of sexual misconduct they may encounter in both professional and social spaces\, and provides resources for intervention or support in such circumstances.The primary goal of the workshop is to address complexities experienced by graduate students as they engage in bystander intervention\, so that participants gain an increase in awareness of barriers to action and familiarity with strategic planning to overcome them. The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on how sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.The ERC workshop uses small-group circles intended to promote active reflection and space to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the beginning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the process\, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various\, realistic scenarios related to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle process allows circle members to process the monologues\, reflect on complexities with identity and power dynamics within them\, name potential barriers to intervention\, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collective building of ideas\, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can always pass if desired\, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced. Due to the participatory nature of the workshop\, if you are to arrive more than 20 minutes late\, we will ask you to re-register for another workshop session.If you have any questions about or concerns with taking this workshop\, or are in need of an exemption\, please contact jhippe@umich.edu or fill out this form. We know some students come to campus having already experienced harm. If you have circumstances that make completing this course challenging\, please reach out to the GROWE team. SAPAC GROWE provides exemptions to the ERC workshop (where requirements are set in place) on a case by case basis. The Program Manager will communicate with students requesting exemptions via email and/or meet with students via zoom meetings to discuss their need for exemptions and provide any relevant and necessary resources.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Special Exhibition | Ancient Abstractions: Roman Visual Trends Beyond Naturalism
DESCRIPTION:The lifelike naturalistic bodies of Greek and Roman sculpture have been a source of wonder since the Renaissance. Indeed\, the Italian Renaissance artist Vasari identified the ancient world as the time “when sculpture rose to its greatest height.” But close likenesses of the natural world are not the only visual products of the ancient past. This exhibition traces alternative visual trends in the ancient Roman world that today would be considered examples of abstraction. It focuses on monuments and motifs long pushed to the margins of our accounts of ancient art. Oversize arrangements of interlocking shapes pulsate in bold block colors from tombs\, temples\, and homes\; stylized animals flicker into view\, only to collapse once more into bright geometric arrangements\; and artists adopt experimental shorthands for the depiction of space across media. Anticipating recent interests in color and form\, the visual trends of antiquity emerge as far more varied than has long been told.\n\n*Ancient Abstractions is on view from November 5\, 2026\, through February 28\, 2027\, during regular museum hours (Tuesday–Friday\, 10:00 AM–4:00 PM\, and Saturday–Sunday\, 11:00 AM–4:00 PM\; closed Mondays and university holidays.*
