SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mediated Interference
DESCRIPTION:Randomized saturation experiments measure how outcomes respond to own treatment and to the proportion assigned treatment. When treatment changes social connections\, these comparisons do not reveal how much of the response operates through network changes. I propose a framework that decomposes the outcome difference between treated individuals and untreated individuals at different saturations into direct\, network-mediated\, treatment–network interaction\, and saturation-spillover components without imposing functional-form restrictions on potential outcomes. I give conditions under which these components can be identified leveraging pretreatment networks and covariates\, without estimating a network formation model. The main restriction\, baseline network sufficiency\, requires that network-formation factors contain no further information about the shocks governing outcomes at fixed treatment and exposure after conditioning on baseline characteristics. Under neighborhood stability and regularity conditions\, I propose an estimation procedure based on debiased machine learning without sample splitting that accommodates network dependence. I propose an inference procedure that conditions on realized saturations\, which is valid as cluster sizes grow while the number of clusters stays fixed. Reanalyzing an agronomy-training experiment in Rwanda\, I find a negative network-mediated effect on input use for untreated farmers and a positive treatment–network interaction\; these opposing effects reveal a network channel obscured by the small total effect and suggest that training changes how social connections shape the allocation of shared inputs.

SUMMARY:Performance:Lon Mitchell\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:Lon Mitchell performs on the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Carillon\, an instrument of 60 bells with the lowest bell (bourdon) weighing 6 tons.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Lurie Carillon every weekday that classes are in session. During these recitals\, visitors may take the elevator to level 2 to view the largest bells\, or to level 3 to see the carillonist performing. (Visitors subject to acrophobia are recommended to visit level 2 only.) An optional spiral stairway between levels 2 and 3 allows for up-close views of some of the largest bells.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ChE SEMINAR: Wenjun Zhang\, University of California\, Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:A reception with light refreshments will be held in the B10 lobby before each seminar from 1-1:30 p.m.\n\n*Abstract:*\nNatural products remain at the forefront of chemical biology\, offering both therapeutic potential and unique chemical insights. This seminar details our group’s approach to expanding the natural product landscape: from the discovery of molecules in complex ecological niches to the elucidation of rare enzymatic mechanisms. The first portion of the talk will focus on the human oral microbiome\, an underexplored reservoir of chemical diversity. I will discuss our efforts in mining for bioactive small molecules\, focusing on their role in defining the \"socio-chemical\" landscape of oral health and disease. The second half will transition into the biosynthetic logic governing unique scaffolds and functionalities of natural products. By elucidating the enzymatic machinery involved\, specifically our recent discovery and characterization of rare N-N bond-forming enzymes\, we demonstrate how understanding nature's synthetic strategies enables the production of novel analogs via synthetic biology and expands the modern biocatalytic toolkit.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Breaking into supply chains: experimental evidence on procurement training for women-owned SMEs
DESCRIPTION:Women-owned-or-led small and medium enterprises (WSMEs) are underrepresented in public and corporate supply chains worldwide. There is growing interest in promot- ing supplier diversification and SMEs’ integration into value chains\, but limited causal evidence whether interventions to support WSMEs’ participation in procurement are effective. This paper conducts a phased randomized controlled trial to estimate the impacts of corporate procurement training for WSMEs in Colombia. The program in- creases procurement knowledge and readiness\, resulting in a 10 percentage point (p.p.) increase in registrations to corporate portals and an 8 p.p. increase in the likelihood of submitting a bid. Impacts on winning bids are concentrated on WSMEs with prior pro- curement knowledge or experience\, whose probability of winning a contract increases by 8 to 9 p.p. These impacts are approximately 20% of the control means. More broadly\, the paper illustrates how complier-weighted treatment effects can be used to evaluate programs delivered through a funnel-shaped participation processes\, common in private sector development interventions.
