The Impact Of Upzoning On Housing Construction In Auckland, Ryan Greenaway-Mcgrevy, Peter C. B. Phillips May 2022

The Impact Of Upzoning On Housing Construction In Auckland, Ryan Greenaway-Mcgrevy, Peter C. B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

There is a growing debate about whether upzoning is an effective policy response to housing shortages and unaffordable housing. This paper provides empirical evidence to further inform debate by examining the various impacts of recently implemented zoning reforms on housing construction in Auckland, the largest metropolitan area in New Zealand. In 2016, the city upzoned approximately three quarters of its inner suburban land to facilitate construction of more intensive housing. We use a quasi-experimental approach to analyze the short-run impacts of the reform on construction, allowing for potential shifts in construction from non-upzoned to upzoned areas (negative spillovers) that would, …

Broad-Based Capital Injection Programs, June Rhee, Junko Oguri, Greg Feldberg, Andrew Metrick Apr 2022

Broad-Based Capital Injection Programs, June Rhee, Junko Oguri, Greg Feldberg, Andrew Metrick

Journal of Financial Crises

This paper surveys 36 broad-based capital injection (BBCI) programs and attempts to identify some best (and worst) practices. We argue that it is crucial to distinguish between programs implemented during acute (“panic”) and chronic (“debt overhang”) phases of a crisis, where the goals of program design should be different. In an acute phase, programs should be designed to influence the behavior of bank counterparties, while in chronic phases, the focus should be on bank behavior itself. With this framing, we identify seven themes to guide program design, and provide many illustrative examples for the policymaker’s tool kit.

How Do I Know What You Know? A Novel Theoretical Account Of Epistemic Inference, Rosie Aboody Apr 2022

How Do I Know What You Know? A Novel Theoretical Account Of Epistemic Inference, Rosie Aboody

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

Of the capacities that make us uniquely human—pedagogy, social learning, coop- eration, communication, moral evaluation—all hinge, at least in part, on an under- standing of what others know or believe. Critically, we cannot see mental states: we have access only to the observable behaviors they cause. So, to navigate the social world, we must often infer what others think from observing what they do. While prior work has investigated how children and adults infer preferences, goals, and desires from behavior, little research has investigated how we infer epistemic states (knowledge and beliefs). In this thesis, I expand upon existing accounts …

Human Engineered Pulsatile Conduits Using Engineered Heart Tissue Of Defined Composition And Fiber Orientation, Christopher William Anderson Apr 2022

Human Engineered Pulsatile Conduits Using Engineered Heart Tissue Of Defined Composition And Fiber Orientation, Christopher William Anderson

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are relatively new fields that aim to combine principals of chemistry, physics and biology to recreate tissues of the body within lab settings. By utilizing these concepts, novel tissues can be created from entirely biologic material for use as therapeutic replacement tissues. The advent of stem cell technology has been an incredible enabling factor for tissue engineering as a field, especially that of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). hiPSCs are a class of stem cell that may be readily produced using non-invasively derived patient samples that are subsequently transfected with what are commonly known …

Essays On Marginal Treatment Effects, Vitor Augusto Possebom Apr 2022

Essays On Marginal Treatment Effects, Vitor Augusto Possebom

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

In this dissertation, I discuss identification problems with two sources of endogeneity. In both chapters, one source of endogeneity is self-selection into treatment. To address this problem, I use the Marginal Treatment Effect framework developed by Heckman and Vytlacil (2009). In the first chapter, I partially identify the marginal treatment effect (MTE) function when the treatment variable is misclassified. To do so, I explore three sets of restrictions on the relationship between the instrument, the misclassified treatment and the correctly measured treatment, allowing for dependence between the instrument and the misclassification decision. If the signs of the derivatives of the …

Essays On Development Microeconomics In Ghana, Nathan Earl Barker Apr 2022

Essays On Development Microeconomics In Ghana, Nathan Earl Barker

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

Developing countries are urbanizing, transitioning out of agriculture, and expanding social protection programs. In order to understand the economic consequences of these phenomena, it is important to understand the way that individual and household behavior adjusts in response to these changes. This dissertation examines this interplay; I study how cultural institutions and structural transformation interact, and evaluate the effects of a specific form of social protection: cognitive behavioral therapy. In Chapter 1, I examine the ways in which a specific set of cultural institutions, land inheritance rules, interact with economic opportunities outside of agriculture. In particular, I examine the effects …

Archival Phonetics & Prosodic Typology In Sixteen Australian Languages, Sarah Babinski Apr 2022

Archival Phonetics & Prosodic Typology In Sixteen Australian Languages, Sarah Babinski

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

In naturalistic speech, the phonetic instantiation of phonological categories is often highly variable. Speakers have been observed to converge on patterns of phonetic variation that are consistent within languages but variable cross-linguistically for the same phonological phenomenon. Speakers are evidently sensitive to these sorts of patterns and learn the phonetic variation in a consistent way. Furthermore, the systematicity of this variation suggests that these patterns should change over time systematically as well. Most Australian languages assign lexical stress consistently on the first syllable of the word, raising the question of how the phonetics of stress varies across languages with this …

Deep Learning For Embedding And Integrating Multimodal Biomedical Data, Matthew Amodio Apr 2022

Deep Learning For Embedding And Integrating Multimodal Biomedical Data, Matthew Amodio

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

Biomedical data is being generated in extremely high throughput and high dimension by technologies in areas ranging from single-cell genomics, proteomics, and transcriptomics (cytometry, single-cell RNA and ATAC sequencing) to neuroscience and cognition (fMRI and PET) to pharmaceuticals (drug perturbations and interactions). These new and emerging technologies and the datasets they create give an unprecedented view into the workings of their respective biological entities. However, there is a large gap between the information contained in these datasets and the insights that current machine learning methods can extract from them. This is especially the case when multiple technologies can measure the …

Functional Profiling Of Human Commensal Metabolites In Colorectal Cancer And Pain Sensation, Yiyun Cao Apr 2022

Functional Profiling Of Human Commensal Metabolites In Colorectal Cancer And Pain Sensation, Yiyun Cao

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

The gastrointestinal tract contains the largest number and greatest diversity of microbes which are referred to collectively as the gut microbiota. Alterations in microbiota dysbiosis are associated with diverse disease states, including colorectal cancer (CRC), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). However, the causative mechanisms mediated by the gut microbiota are still to be illustrated. Particularly, the gut commensals encode ~150 times more genes than the human genome and thousands of metabolites that mostly lack functional annotations or structural identification. Therefore, the functional profiling of human commensal metabolites is promising to reveal the molecular mechanisms of the …

The Role Of Mink1 In Congenital Heart Disease: Regulation Of Spemann Organizer Cell Fate And Multiciliated Cell Specification, Vaughn Colleluori Apr 2022

The Role Of Mink1 In Congenital Heart Disease: Regulation Of Spemann Organizer Cell Fate And Multiciliated Cell Specification, Vaughn Colleluori

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect and leading cause of infant mortality, yet molecular mechanisms explaining CHD remain mostly unknown. Sequencing studies are identifying CHD candidate genes at a brisk rate including MINK1, a serine/threonine kinase. However, a plausible molecular mechanism connecting CHD and MINK1 is unknown. Here, we reveal that mink1 is required for proper heart development due to its role in left-right patterning. Mink1 regulates canonical Wnt signaling to define the cell fates of the Spemann organizer and the Left-Right Organizer, a ciliated structure that breaks bilateral symmetry in the vertebrate embryo. To identify …

Sick Time: Medicine, Management, And Slavery In Louisiana And Cuba, 1763-1868, Liana Demarco Apr 2022

Sick Time: Medicine, Management, And Slavery In Louisiana And Cuba, 1763-1868, Liana Demarco

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

Modern, capitalist ideas of productivity became central to medicine under slavery. They shaped how physicians treated enslaved patients, crafted a scientific basis for medicine, and conceived of themselves as a profession. Between the late eighteenth century and the mid-nineteenth century, white male physicians in Louisiana and Cuba distinguished themselves from other healers: first, by aligning with Spanish colonialism, and then, by making themselves essential to a new form of plantation management that used clock-time discipline, hierarchical divisions of labor, and complex accounting systems. As these technologies became widespread in sugar and cotton production, they helped planters precisely interpret enslaved health …

“Everybody Is Locked Up”...Black Families With Incarcerated Loved Ones, Patrice Collins Apr 2022

“Everybody Is Locked Up”...Black Families With Incarcerated Loved Ones, Patrice Collins

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

Increasing rates of parental incarceration in the U.S. are implications of a changing society for Black children and their families. Yet, very little is known ethnographically about the experiences of families with arrested and incarcerated parents. This study uses urban ethnographic methods to understand the contextual and social factors for families of the incarcerated, from the perspectives of poor Black families experiencing incarceration. I argue that the arrest of a parent initiates a powerful ripple effect that occurs within families, communities, and other social institutions. The arrest is often just the beginning of complicated interactions with the criminal system. This …

Quantifying Membrane Topology At The Nanoscale, Zachary Ryan Connerty-Marin Apr 2022

Quantifying Membrane Topology At The Nanoscale, Zachary Ryan Connerty-Marin

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

Changes in the shape of cellular membranes are linked with viral replication, Alzheimer's, heart disease and an abundance of other maladies. Some membranous organelles, such as the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi, are only 50 nm in diameter. As such, membrane shape changes are conventionally studied with electron microscopy (EM), which preserves cellular ultrastructure and achieves a resolution of 2 nm or better. However, immunolabeling in EM is challenging, and often destroys the cell, making it difficult to study interactions between membranes and other proteins. Additionally, cells must be fixed in EM imaging, making it impossible to study mechanisms of …

An Abundance Of Quenching: Comparing Observations And Simulations Of Low Mass Galaxies, Claire Dickey Apr 2022

An Abundance Of Quenching: Comparing Observations And Simulations Of Low Mass Galaxies, Claire Dickey

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

This thesis focuses on low mass, quiescent galaxies in the local universe, with the goal of providing meaningful constraints on the feedback mechanisms that drive quenching in low mass galaxies. We present an in-depth exploration of what may be the lowest mass galaxies still able to self-quench on galaxy-wide scales, using Keck/ESI long-slit spectroscopy (Dickey et al. 2019). Despite their overall passive appearances, nearly all low-mass quiescent galaxies host AGN, in contrast to denser environments, where we observe significant numbers of quiescent galaxies lacking AGN signatures. These results suggest that the presence of hard ionizing radiation (AGN-like line ratios) is …

T Cell Regulation Of Antibody Responses To Infection And Immunization, Jennifer Shuen Chen Apr 2022

T Cell Regulation Of Antibody Responses To Infection And Immunization, Jennifer Shuen Chen

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

T follicular helper (Tfh) cells are the conventional drivers of protective, germinal center (GC)-based antiviral antibody responses. However, loss of Tfh cells and GCs has been observed in patients with severe COVID-19. As T cell-B cell interactions and immunoglobulin class switching still occur in these patients, non-canonical pathways of antibody production may be operative during SARS-CoV-2 infection. We found that both Tfh-dependent and -independent antibodies were induced against SARS-CoV-2 infection, SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, and influenza A virus infection. Even though Tfh-independent antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 had evidence of reduced somatic hypermutation, they were still high-affinity, durable, and reactive against diverse spike-derived epitopes …

Transmitters, Texts, And Traditions: The Zoroastrian Priesthood From The Sasanian To The Early Islamic Period, Kayla Dang Apr 2022

Transmitters, Texts, And Traditions: The Zoroastrian Priesthood From The Sasanian To The Early Islamic Period, Kayla Dang

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

This dissertation examines the institutional framework of the Zoroastrian priesthood through its individual priests and their relationship with ruling authorities. Entitled “Transmitters, Texts, and Traditions: The Zoroastrian Priesthood from Late Antiquity to the Early Islamic Period,” it traces the survival and transformation of the priesthood across the divide of the Arab conquest of Iran, the period of transformation from Zoroastrianism as a state religion under the Sasanid kings to the gradual conversion of the population to Islam under Muslim rulers. Using primary sources in Arabic, Syriac, Armenian, and Greek alongside material culture and literary sources in Middle Persian, I study …

Essay In Social Coordination, Jacob Derechin Apr 2022

Essay In Social Coordination, Jacob Derechin

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

Social Coordination is an essential feature of any social system. Coordination is a precondition for certain kinds of cooperation, as cooperation implies agents working together for a common cause, while coordination only implies agents synchronizing their behavior. For example, social contagion suggests a mechanism for groups to socially coordinate without necessarily cooperating. When behaviors spread across social ties the people may not be actively intending to spread the behavior, so they are not always cooperating. The necessity of coordination does not imply that it is easy to achieve. In Chapter 1, I survey two theoretical frameworks for operationalizing the challenges …

Two Projects Informed By Work On Glucosepane, Robert Donald Hale Apr 2022

Two Projects Informed By Work On Glucosepane, Robert Donald Hale

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

Part 1: Having developed a reaction to synthesize the protein-sugar crosslink glucosepane, we sought to apply our lessons to the synthesis of structurally similar molecules. Marine alkaloids containing a diaminoimidazole-derived core possess intriguing chemical structures and have displayed promising antimicrobial activity in preliminary screens. However, these compounds generally contain densely functionalized multicyclic cores and relatively large numbers of nitrogen atoms. For these reasons, they have proven difficult to synthesize. In this work, we report a novel total synthesis of the marine alkaloid (±)-dibromoagelaspongin. Our key intermediate is a 2,5-diaminoisoimidazole accessed in one step from a suitably protected guanylhydrazine and an …

Automated Approaches For Program Verification And Repair, William Triest Hallahan Apr 2022

Automated Approaches For Program Verification And Repair, William Triest Hallahan

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

Formal methods techniques, such as verification, analysis, and synthesis,allow programmers to prove properties of their programs, or automatically derive programs from specifications. Making such techniques usable requires care: they must provide useful debugging information, be scalable, and enable automation. This dissertation presents automated analysis and synthesis techniques to ease the debugging of modular verification systems and allow easy access to constraint solvers from functional code. Further, it introduces machine learning based techniques to improve the scalability of off-the-shelf syntax-guided synthesis solvers and techniques to reduce the burden of network administrators writing and analyzing firewalls. We describe the design and implementationof …
