We also propose a doubly robust estimator for dynamic MPEs. Our approach does not require observing full dynamic state information (as is typically assumed for off-policy evaluation in Markov decision processes), and does not incur an exponential curse of horizon (as is typical in non-Markovian off-policy evaluation). We demonstrate practicality and robustness of our approach in a number of simulations, including one motivated by a dynamic pricing application where people use past prices to form a reference level for current prices.

Driven by curiosity about the older generation, the artist uses photographs, clothing, objects, and language to piece together the family\u2019s history.

Paralysis by Amanda Dayton (2 minutes)\"Paralysis is a self-shot short\u00a0film\u00a0that captures the quiet isolation of starting college.

Keep the Faith by Brock McIntyre (20 minutes)Content warning: mild swears\n\"When a new cadet arrives at a remote outpost in the void, the hardened veteran singlehandedly running the station must instill in him the importance of pressing a button that saves the world, despite the old man having lost faith years ago.\"\n\n4.

I'll tell you why.\u00a0Because\u00a0they had the audacity to bet on THEMSELVES. They saw their potential, even if they\u00a0weren't sure that it would get them anywhere, they saw ENOUGH of it. Enough of it to KNOW that it belongs SOMEWHERE. Celebrities bet on themselves and their authenticity. A path that each and every one of us longs to take. But sadly, we fear the very thing we idolize. And so, we just dream. But me, I am not only a dreamer, but I am an achiever. And I will achieve whatever my heart desires and this is fact.

Studios, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator, MFA \u201920) and Abhishek Narula (MFA \u201920); and Sometimes Space, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I, MFA \u201921). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions, performances, and events, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project, Byrne, Clegg, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response, they\u2019ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA \u201923) and Erin McKenna (MFA \u201920)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA \u201920) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA \u201920)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA \u201920) and Nathan Byrne (MFA \u201921)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich\u2019s famous \u201crock\u201d to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950\u2019s, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest, creativity, and ritual, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as \u201cFordite\u201d (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called \u2018Detroit agate\u2019), Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed, sculpted, sealed, assembled, and macro-photographed, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement, expression, coherence, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged, photographed, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements\/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history, popular culture, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity, absurdity, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University, The New York Public Library, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP\/Journal, BOMB Magazine, Sculpture Magazine, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website \/ Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions, installations, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design, and is grounded in the concept of the \u201ccommons,\u201d that which is shared, as well as that which is ordinary, banal, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

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 (\u201crookies\u201d) 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\u2019s research and teaching focus on international business and strategy, with a focus on emerging economies\u2014especially 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.
