SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Democracy Against Workers?
DESCRIPTION:Webinar Link: https://myumi.ch/ww7q9\n\nCanonical models of democracy expect working-class people to be the main beneficiaries -- even the natural beneficiaries -- of democratization. Yet not all democratic systems deliver economic gains to average citizens. Even after they gain the right to vote\, very rarely do they become candidates for office and get to serve as the people's representatives. When is \"democracy against workers\" and how might we make it work better for working people? In this Democracy Week roundtable\, Nick Carnes\, Adam Dean\, and Noam Lupu discuss their book projects on these themes\, with Ann Heffernan serving as respondent.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at emergingdemocracies@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:Optimal Contract\, Delegated Investment\, and Information Acquisition
DESCRIPTION:We study a model of delegated investment within a noisy rational expectations equilibrium framework. Portfolio managers can acquire costly private information about asset payoffs but incur portfolio management costs\, and are compensated by investors to make investment decisions on their behalf. We show that the optimal contract features a benchmark component that mitigates the agency frictions arising from portfolio management costs. The precision of managers' private information is determined endogenously in market equilibrium\, with private and public information acting as substitutes. As portfolio management costs increase\, both the performance-based and benchmark components of the optimal contract become more sensitive to investment outcomes\, while fewer private signals are incorporated into prices\, reducing market informational efficiency. We further show that when a social planner places sufficient weight on the welfare of direct investors and liquidity providers\, the socially optimal equilibrium achieves greater price informational efficiency than the decentralized equilibrium. The talk will focus on the interaction between optimal contracting\, information acquisition\, and market efficiency\, together with the economic intuition underlying these results.

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.
