The event will be emceed by Sarah Mills, director of the University of Michigan\u2019s Center for EmPowering Communities and associate professor of practice at U-M\u2019s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n\nThe symposium will open with Nelson Falkenburg from Clean Tomorrow providing a national perspective on renewable energy siting, exploring why siting has become a central challenge in the clean energy transition, and how state and local policies are shaping what gets built across the country. This session will situate Michigan\u2019s experience within broader political, regulatory, and community dynamics influencing renewable energy deployment nationwide.\n\nThe focus will then shift to Michigan, with Dan Scripps, chair of the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC), taking us back to the Fall of 2023, describing the origins of the Michigan model in Public Act 233 of 2023 (PA 233). He will talk about what prompted the move to reform the state\u2019s siting laws, and what priorities shaped the law that emerged. \n\nMadeleine Krol from UM\u2019s Center for EmPowering Communities will then outline in detail the mechanics of the Michigan model, describing the three primary permitting pathways for large-scale projects in the state. She will also discuss how the Renewables Ready Communities Award, which provides a financial incentive to local governments that permit projects locally, is an integral part of the Michigan model. \n\nThe symposium will conclude with a panel discussion featuring Sarah Mullkoff (Michigan Public Service Commission), Laura Sherman (Michigan Energy Innovation Business Council), and Catherine Kaufman (Bauckham, Thall, Seeber, Kaufman & Koches PC), leaders from varied viewpoints who were each influential in shaping the implementation of PA 233. Moderator Liesl Clark from UM\u2019s School for Environment and Sustainability will ask the panel to reflect on how their expectations in the lead-up to the passage of PA 233 compare with their on-the-ground experiences in its implementation. Panelists will also consider lessons learned to date and what Michigan\u2019s experience suggests for future renewable energy siting efforts.\n\nTogether, the program is designed to inform discussion and support a clearer understanding of what effective renewable energy siting looks like in practice.\n\nThis event is presented by Taubman College Urban and Regional Planning, the Center for EmPowering Communities, and Taubman College Climate Futures.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"146775-21899607@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/146775", "building_id":"1000432", "building_name":"Art and Architecture Building", "campus_maps_id":"16", "room":"Taubman Commons", "location_name":"Art and Architecture Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Energy And The Environment","Public Policy","Sustainability","Urban And Regional Planning"], "website":"https:\/\/taubmancollege.umich.edu\/event\/the-michigan-model-for-siting-renewable-energy-policy-implementation-and-impacts\/?utm_source=Graham+Sustainability+Institute&utm_campaign=4459450850-Graham+Newsletter--January+2025_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_e6c4187cd4-4459450850-", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Graham Sustainability Institute", "group_id":"1807", "website":"http:\/\/graham.umich.edu" }, { "group_name":"A.

We compile a novel database of contracting relationships among employers, brokers, and insurers in New York State. Exploiting variations in commission schedules, we document two market distortions: First, brokers exhibit traditional agency frictions, steering employers towards more financially lucrative products. Second, commission levels affect ex-ante insurer-broker networks and, in turn, insurers' competitive pressure, leading to anti-competitive distortions. We develop and estimate a structural model of employer insurance demand, insurer pricing, and formation of broker-insurer contracting networks. We use the model to study a commission-cap counterfactual.

While recent works aim to develop sharp convergence guarantees, the iteration complexity of existing analyses typically scales with the ambient data dimension $d$ of the target distribution, leading to overly conservative theory that fails to explain its practical efficiency. This motivates us to understand how diffusion models can achieve sampling speed-ups through automatic exploitation of intrinsic low dimensionality of data for both continuous and discrete distributions. \n\nThis talk explores two key scenarios: (1) For a broad class of continous distributions with intrinsic dimension $k$, we show that the iteration complexity of the denoising diffusion probabilistic model (DDPM) scales nearly linearly with $k$, which is optimal under the KL divergence metric; (2) For masking discrete diffusions, under a continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) formulation, we introduce a modified $\\tau$-leaping sampler whose convergence rate is governed by an intrinsic information-theoretic quantity, termed the \\emph{effective total correlation}, which is upper bounded by $d \\log S$ (with $S$ the vocabulary size) but can be sublinear or even constant for structured discrete distributions.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"146703-21899508@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/146703", "building_id":"1000167", "building_name":"West Hall", "campus_maps_id":"163", "room":"340", "location_name":"West Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["seminar"], "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/stats", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Statistics", "group_id":"3473", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Statistics Seminar Series", "group_id":"3585", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_146703_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_146703_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_146703_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_146703_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_146703_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_146703_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_146703_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_146703_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_146703_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_146703_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_146703_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_146703_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_146703_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_146703_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_146703_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_146703_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21899508 } , "137880-21880977": { "datetime_modified":"20250821T100218", "datetime_start":"20260417T100000", "datetime_end":"20260417T120000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-04-17", "date_end":"2026-04-17", "time_start":"10:00:00", "time_end":"12:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Write with ME!", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Write with ME!", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Social \/ Informal Gathering", "event_type_id":"19", "description":"Working on an abstract?
