Moral Hazard And Adverse Selection In The Insurance Market, Kevin Willardsen

Applied Econometrics Workshops

Willardsen presented on his upcoming article with the same title. The abstract from this paper is as follows:

Understanding the relative significance of adverse selection and moral hazard is important in determining effective policy for insurance markets. Separate identification of these two effects, empirically, is difficult. To overcome this limitation, this paper uses experimental methods to examine how adverse selection and moral hazard separately affect agent performance in a real-effort task. In particular, we explore how agent behavior (effort in the task) changes across a baseline with no insurance option, a treatment where individuals can choose to purchase insurance, and …

Effect Of Social Media On Marketing And Brand Image: Does It Matter?, Miranda Fryman

The University Honors Program

Social media officially emerged in 1997, with the first recognizable site called Six Degrees which allowed users to friend and message one another. Two years later, in 1999, blogs became popular, but no one could have predicted the extent to which social media would grow. In the early 2000’s, sites like Myspace, Facebook, and LinkedIn gained traction with the advancement of technology. At this point, around 100 million users had access to the internet (Hale, 2016) and that number was rapidly growing. With people’s ongoing urge to be constantly connected, social media continued to flourish, and sites like Twitter, Youtube, …

The Science Behind How Character May Hinder The Corruptive Effects Of Power, Christine Heisey

The University Honors Program

This paper represents my Honors Project and will summarize my experience related to learning more about the scientific method through working on a research project under the faculty supervision of Dr. Rachel Sturm. In particular, this research project examines how power can corrupt those who possess it and offers an explanation of how leader character may decrease these corruptive effects. The sources of power, how power affects leaders, and how different members of an organization can participate in organizational corruption will be explained. Also, I will offer some research questions unpacking the relationship between leader character and power as well …

Vaule-Added Erosion In Global Value Chains: Rethining International Trade, Xiao Jiang

Seminars in Local and Global Regional Economies

The prevalence of "vertical specialization" and global value chains (GVCs) demands that we think differently about international trade and its relationship to employment. This talk discusses employment effects of GVCs trade. Dr. Jiang argues that the expansion of foreign high value-adding activities in the upper stream of GVCs is likely to lead to a decline of domestic value-added share, leading to intensification of international and domestic distributional conflicts.

Dr. Xiao Jiang’s research combines mathematical modeling, simulations and statistics with classical political economy. He has provided economic consulting for the International Labor Organization, the Association for East and Southeast Asian Countries, …
