Humanizing The Enslaved Of Fort Monroe’S Arc Of Freedom, William R. Kelly Jr. May 2019

Humanizing The Enslaved Of Fort Monroe’S Arc Of Freedom, William R. Kelly Jr.

Journal of Contemporary Archival Studies

Fort Monroe, located in Hampton, Virginia, was a United States Army post until its deactivation in 2011. President Barack Obama proclaimed Fort Monroe a national monument due to its complex history, including its ties to slavery and emancipation. This paper outlines an ongoing research project designed to identify and humanize both the enslaved who helped build the fort and those who were declared as contraband there during the American Civil War. Housed in the National Archives and Records Administration in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the United States Army Engineer Records from 1819 to 1866 is the main area of focus for this …


Early, Proactive Palliative Care In Hospitalized Patients With Advanced Dementia: A Research Proposal, Tori Viveen May 2019

Early, Proactive Palliative Care In Hospitalized Patients With Advanced Dementia: A Research Proposal, Tori Viveen

Yale School of Medicine Physician Associate Program Theses

Dementia is a chronic, progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disease with no curative treatment options. The number of Americans living with dementia is expected to triple between 2018 and 2050. Access to palliative care for patients living with dementia and other chronic diseases like cancer improves quality of life and may even prolong life. However, the optimal timing for a palliative care consult is not yet clear. This study seeks to determine whether early initiation of palliative care in dementia patients admitted to the hospital with acute illness benefits patient clinical outcomes (non-institutionalized days at home, readmissions, location of death) and …


"A Critic Friendly To Mccarthy": How William F. Buckley, Jr. Brought Senator Joseph R. Mccarthy Into The American Conservative Movement Between 1951 And 1959, Samuel Bennett May 2019

"A Critic Friendly To Mccarthy": How William F. Buckley, Jr. Brought Senator Joseph R. Mccarthy Into The American Conservative Movement Between 1951 And 1959, Samuel Bennett

Kaplan Senior Essay Prize for Use of Library Special Collections

William F. Buckley, Jr. has been revered among American conservatives, and even some scholars of the field, for fathering what would come to be known as movement conservatism through his National Review. Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, a Republican from Wisconsin, has not been so fondly remembered; he was best known for his paranoid style of politics and eventual censure in the Senate. While Buckley and McCarthy’s worlds clearly overlapped in the fervent anticommunist conservatism of the 1950s, few historians have recognized the extent to which McCarthy was a part of Buckley’s conservative movement, if it is to be acknowledged …

Can Friends Seed More Buzz And Adoption?, Vineet Kumar, K. Sudhir May 2019

Can Friends Seed More Buzz And Adoption?, Vineet Kumar, K. Sudhir

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

A critical element of word of mouth (WOM) or buzz marketing is to identify seeds, often central actors with high degree in the social network. Seed identification typically requires data on the full network structure, which is often unavailable. We therefore examine the impact of WOM seeding strategies motivated by the friendship paradox to obtain more central nodes without knowing network structure. But higher-degree nodes may communicate less with neighbors; therefore whether friendship paradox motivated seeding strategies increase or reduce WOM and adoption remains an empirical question. We develop and estimate a model of WOM and adoption using data on …


Attribute Sentiment Scoring With Online Text Reviews: Accounting For Language Structure And Missing Attributes, Ishita Chakraborty, Minkyung Kim, K. Sudhir May 2019

Attribute Sentiment Scoring With Online Text Reviews: Accounting For Language Structure And Missing Attributes, Ishita Chakraborty, Minkyung Kim, K. Sudhir

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The authors address two significant challenges in using online text reviews to obtain finegrained attribute level sentiment ratings. First, in contrast to methods that rely on word frequency, they develop a deep learning convolutional-LSTM hybrid model to account for language structure. The convolutional layer accounts for spatial structure (adjacent word groups or phrases) and LSTM accounts for sequential structure of language (sentiment distributed and modified across non-adjacent phrases). Second, they address the problem of missing attributes in text in constructing attribute sentiment scores—as reviewers write only about a subset of attributes and remain silent on others. They develop a model-based …


Can Random Friends Seed More Buzz And Adoption? Leveraging The Friendship Paradox, Vineet Kumar, K. Sudhir May 2019

Can Random Friends Seed More Buzz And Adoption? Leveraging The Friendship Paradox, Vineet Kumar, K. Sudhir

A critical element of word of mouth (WOM) or buzz marketing is to identify seeds, often central actors with high degree in the social network. Seed identification typically requires data on the full network structure, which is often unavailable. We therefore examine the impact of WOM seeding strategies motivated by the friendship paradox to obtain more central nodes without knowing network structure on adoption. Higher-degree nodes may be less effective as seeds if these nodes communicate less with neighbors or are less persuasive when they communicate; therefore whether friendship paradox motivated seeding strategies increase or reduce WOM and adoption remains …

Young Americans For Freedom And The Anti-War Movement: Pro-War Encounters With The New Left At The Height Of The Vietnam War, Ethan Swift May 2019

Young Americans For Freedom And The Anti-War Movement: Pro-War Encounters With The New Left At The Height Of The Vietnam War, Ethan Swift

Kaplan Senior Essay Prize for Use of Library Special Collections

While a vast amount of contemporary scholarship has been dedicated to student activism during the late 1960s and early 1970s, very little of it has focused on those who supported the war in Vietnam. The few authors who have written on the topic tend to present pro-war activists as a mild-mannered force that used conventional and congenial tactics to advocate for victory in southeast Asia. This paper will upend this characterization by examining how members of the conservative organization Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) saw themselves as a besieged minority at American universities and responded to the radicalism of the …

Functional Coefficient Panel Modeling With Communal Smoothing Covariates, Peter C.B. Phillips, Ying Wang May 2019

Functional Coefficient Panel Modeling With Communal Smoothing Covariates, Peter C.B. Phillips, Ying Wang

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Behavior at the individual level in panels or at the station level in spatial models is often influenced by aspects of the system in aggregate. In particular, the nature of the interaction between individual-specific explanatory variables and an individual dependent variable may be affected by `global’ variables that are relevant in decision making and shared communally by all individuals in the sample. To capture such behavioral features, we employ a functional coefficient panel model in which certain communal covariates may jointly influence panel interactions by means of their impact on the model coefficients. Two classes of estimation procedures are proposed, …


Boosting The Hodrick-Prescott Filter, Peter C.B. Phillips, Zhentao Shi May 2019

Boosting The Hodrick-Prescott Filter, Peter C.B. Phillips, Zhentao Shi

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The Hodrick-Prescott (HP) filter is one of the most widely used econometric methods in applied macroeconomic research. The technique is nonparametric and seeks to decompose a time series into a trend and a cyclical component unaided by economic theory or prior trend specification. Like all nonparametric methods, the HP filter depends critically on a tuning parameter that controls the degree of smoothing. Yet in contrast to modern nonparametric methods and applied work with these procedures, empirical practice with the HP filter almost universally relies on standard settings for the tuning parameter that have been suggested largely by experimentation with macroeconomic …


The Causal Effect Of Service Satisfaction On Customer Loyalty, Guofang Huang, K. Sudhir May 2019

The Causal Effect Of Service Satisfaction On Customer Loyalty, Guofang Huang, K. Sudhir

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We propose an instrumental-variable (IV) approach to estimate the causal effect of service satisfaction on customer loyalty, by exploiting a common source of randomness in the assignment of service employees to customers in service queues. Our approach can be applied at no incremental cost by using routine repeated cross-sectional customer survey data collected by firms. The IV approach addresses multiple sources of biases that pose challenges in estimating the causal effect using cross-sectional data: (i) the upward bias from common-method variance due to the joint measurement of service satisfaction and loyalty intent in surveys; (ii) the attenuation bias caused by …


Attribute Sentiment Scoring With Online Text Reviews : Accounting For Language Structure And Attribute Self-Selection, Ishita Chakraborty, Minkyung Kim, K. Sudhir May 2019

Attribute Sentiment Scoring With Online Text Reviews : Accounting For Language Structure And Attribute Self-Selection, Ishita Chakraborty, Minkyung Kim, K. Sudhir

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The authors address two novel and significant challenges in using online text reviews to obtain attribute level ratings. First, they introduce the problem of inferring attribute level sentiment from text data to the marketing literature and develop a deep learning model to address it. While extant bag of words based topic models are fairly good at attribute discovery based on frequency of word or phrase occurrences, associating sentiments to attributes requires exploiting the spatial and sequential structure of language. Second, they illustrate how to correct for attribute self-selection—reviewers choose the subset of attributes to write about—in metrics of attribute level …


Necessary And Sufficient Conditions For Determinacy Of Asymptotically Stationary Equilibria In Olg Models, Alexander Gorokhovsky, Anna Rubinchik May 2019

Necessary And Sufficient Conditions For Determinacy Of Asymptotically Stationary Equilibria In Olg Models, Alexander Gorokhovsky, Anna Rubinchik

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We propose a criterion for determining whether a local policy analysis can be made in a given equilibrium in an overlapping generations model. The criterion can be applied to models with infinite past and future as well as those with a truncated past. The equilibrium is not necessarily a steady state; for example, demographic and type composition of the population or individuals’ endowments can change over time. However, asymptotically, the equilibrium should be stationary. The two limiting stationary paths at either end of the timeline do not have to be the same. If they are, conditions for local uniqueness are …
