SUMMARY:Alison Norris\, The Ohio State University
DESCRIPTION:Title: Abortion utilization in Ohio’s changing legislative context \nAbstract: Changes in Ohio\, most notably legislation and policy changes since 2011\, likely have impacted women’s access to abortion. Many abortion clinics in Ohio have closed in the past seven years\, and several others are currently engaged in litigation and are at risk of closure.  Clinic closures influence the distance that women travel when seeking abortion. Coupled with the impact of an Ohio law that mandates a 24-hour waiting period after a woman’s initial abortion consultation\, loss of a nearby clinic may put abortion out of reach for many women. Other legislation limits where abortions can and cannot be performed and to what gestational stage abortions are performed. This presentation will provide preliminary findings about population-level shifts in abortion utilization\, with special attention to change over time\, geographic variation\, and groups of women who may be underserved. \nCo-sponsored with The Bixby Center  \nMore on Prof. Norris

SUMMARY:Michael Clemens\, Center for Global Development
DESCRIPTION:Title: Immigration Restrictions as Active Labor Market Policy: Evidence from the Mexican Bracero Exclusion \nAbstract: An important class of active labor market policy has received little impact evaluation: immigration barriers intended to raise wages and employment by shrinking labor supply. Theories of endogenous technical advance raise the possibility of limited or even perverse impact. We study a natural policy experiment: the exclusion of almost half a million Mexican bracero farm workers from the United States to improve farm labor market conditions. With novel labor market data we measure state-level exposure to exclusion and model the absent changes in technology or crop mix. We fail to reject zero labor market impact\, inconsistent with this model. \n*Co-sponsored with the Public Policy and Applied Social Sciences Seminar \nMore on Prof. Clemens

SUMMARY:Adrian Raftery\, University of Washington
DESCRIPTION:Title: Bayesian Population Projections with Migration Uncertainty \nAbstract: The United Nations recently issued official probabilistic population projections for all countries for the first time\, using a Bayesian hierarchical modeling framework developed by our group at the University of Washington. These take account of uncertainty about future fertility and mortality\, but not international migration. We propose a Bayesian hierarchical autoregressive model for obtaining joint probabilistic projections of migration rates for all countries\, broken down by age and sex. Joint trajectories for all countries are constrained to satisfy the requirement of zero global net migration. We evaluate our model using out-of-sample validation and compare point projections to the projected migration rates from a persistence model similar to the UN’s current method for projecting migration\, and also to a state of the art gravity model. We also resolve an apparently paradoxical discrepancy between growth trends in the proportion of the world population migrating and the average absolute migration rate across countries. This is joint work with Jonathan Azose and Hana Ševčíková. \nCo-sponsored with the Center for Social Statistics \nMore on Prof. Raftery

SUMMARY:Chad Hazlett\, UCLA
DESCRIPTION:Title:  Making Sense of Sensitivity: Extending Omitted Variable Bias \nAbstract:We extend the omitted variable bias framework with a suite of tools for sensitivity analysis in regression models that: (i) does not require assumptions about the treatment assignment nor the nature of confounders; (ii) naturally handles multiple confounders\, possibly acting non-linearly; (iii) exploits expert knowledge to bound sensitivity parameters; and\, (iv) can be easily computed using only standard regression results. In particular\, we introduce two novel sensitivity measures suited for routine reporting. The robustness value describes the minimum strength of association unobserved confounding would need to have\, both with the treatment and the outcome\, to change the research conclusions. The partial R2 of the treatment with the outcome shows how strongly confounders explaining all the residual outcome variation would have to be associated with the treatment to eliminate the estimated effect. Next\, we offer graphical tools for elaborating on problematic confounders\, examining the sensitivity of point estimates\, t-values\, as well as “extreme scenarios”. Finally\, we describe problems with a common “benchmarking” practice and introduce a novel procedure to instead formally bound the strength of confounders based on comparison to observed covariates. We apply these methods to a running example that estimates the effect of exposure to violence on attitudes toward peace. \nPodcast Recording  \nMore info on Chad Hazlett

SUMMARY:Dalton Conley\, Princeton University
DESCRIPTION:Title: Social Science in the Age of Genomics \nAbstract: The cost of genetic information has been dropping at a rate faster than that of Moore’s law in microcomputing.  As a result\, the science of genetic prediction has improved by leaps and bounds in recent years\, and with it has emerged a novel field: sociogenomics.  Sociogenomics seeks to integrate genetic and environmental information to obtain a more robust\, complete picture of the causes of human behavior.  This talk will highlight some recent examples of sociogenomic research\, touching upon issues such as adolescent peer effects\, racial discrimination\, assortative mating\, and fertility patterns.  The talk will conclude by discussing the social and policy implications of genetic prediction. \n*Co-Sponsored with the Institute for Society and Genetics\, the Luskin for Innovation and the Public Policy and Applied Social Science Seminar  \nMore on Prof. Conley \n

SUMMARY:Berk Ozler\, World Bank
DESCRIPTION:Title: Increasing the uptake of Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs) among adolescent females and young women in Cameroon \nAbstract: In sub-Saharan Africa\, 25% of teenagers have started childbearing (ICF\, 2015). While young women describe many of these births as planned and intentional\, women under the age of 20 also have the greatest percentage of mistimed/unintended pregnancies compared to all other age groups. For example\, in Cameroon\, more than 30% of the births to this group were unwanted or wanted later (DHS 2011). Low age at first birth has a significant impact on the spacing of births and timing of future pregnancies. It may also reduce accumulation of human capital for both the mother and the child. \nDespite the desire to delay childbearing\, only a minority of sexually active unmarried women in most low-income countries uses any modern method of contraception (ICF\, 2015). The shares of women using reliable short-acting methods of contraception (injectables and pills) are even smaller\, with very few unmarried or nulliparous women using LARCs (IUDs or implants). For example\, 41% of sexually active unmarried women in Cameroon report using male condoms\, with 6% using SARCs and less than 1% using LARCs (DHS 2011). Given meaningful differences in the typical-use effectiveness of these different methods\, it is important to understand why most women don’t use any modern methods of contraceptives\, and why\, among users\, women favor the short-acting (but\, less reliable) methods over the long-acting (but almost 100% effective) ones. \nIn this talk\, Berk Özler will describe their multi-disciplinary team’s ongoing work in Cameroon that is attempting to identify the barriers to the uptake of LARCs and testing interventions to overcome them. They will briefly summarize the formative qualitative work to identify the supply- and demand-side barriers; describe a tablet-based decision-support tool they developed for nurses to counsel young women on modern contraceptive methods\, and describe the design of two randomized-controlled trials that test some of the interventions designed with the government of Cameroon. \nPlease RSVP for lunch \nCo-sponsored with the UCLA Luskin Senior Fellows Speaker Series \nMore on Prof. Ozler \n

SUMMARY:Erin Hartman\, University of California Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:Title: Covariate Selection for Generalizing Experimental Results \nAbstract: Researchers are often interested in generalizing the average treatment effect (ATE) estimated in a randomized experiment to non-experimental target populations. Researchers can estimate the population ATE without bias if they adjust for a set of variables affecting both selection into the experiment and treatment heterogeneity. Although this separating set has simple mathematical representation\, it is often unclear how to select this set in applied contexts. In this paper\, we propose a data-driven method to estimate a separating set. Our approach has two advantages. First\, our algorithm relies only on the experimental data. As long as researchers can collect a rich set of covariates on experimental samples\, the proposed method can inform which variables they should adjust for. Second\, we can incorporate researcher-specific data constraints. When researchers know certain variables are unmeasurable in the target population\, our method can select a separating set subject to such constraints\, if one is feasible. We validate our proposed method using simulations\, including naturalistic simulations based on real-world data. \nCo-Sponsored with The Center for Social Statistics \nMore on Prof. Hartman

SUMMARY:V. Joseph Hotz\, Duke University
DESCRIPTION:“The Role of Parental Wealth & Income in Financing Children’s College Attendance & Its Consequences” \nAbstract: This paper examines the influence of parental wealth and income on their children’s college attendance and parents’ financial support for it and whether the latter affects the subsequent levels of indebtedness of parents and their children. We use data from the PSID\, especially data in the 2013 Rosters and Transfers Module on the incidence and amounts of parents’ financial support for their children’s college. To instrument for the potential endogeneity of parental housing wealth and income on these decisions\, we use changes in parents’ local housing and labor market conditions. We find that increases in both parents’ housing wealth and income increase the likelihood of their children attending college through the effect of parents’ financial support. This parental financing of college leads to parents carrying more debt\, but their children having no greater student loan debt after graduation. We also find that parental financing of their child’s college education significantly increases the probability that the child actually graduates from college. \nAccess Podcast Here \nMore on Prof. Hotz

SUMMARY:Ethnic/Racial Characteristics and Inequality of Opportunity in Mexico
DESCRIPTION:More Information: http://www.international.ucla.edu/lai/event/13239#.WuoL1C7waUl \nHousehold surveys in Mexico include only limited information on race and ethnicity. The identification of racial and ethnic characteristics beyond membership to indigenous populations has been historically a difficult topic\, in part because it defies the “mestizo” ideology\, that is\, the image of Mexico as a racially integrated society through the mix of ancient indigenous and European populations. In 2016\, the National Institute of Statistics of Mexico (INEGI) executed a national survey on social mobility (MMSI). In this presentation\, I will talk about the process that led to the inclusion of racial/ethnic characteristics in this survey\, the media and academic debate that emerged after its publication\, and the main results of the survey\, which suggest that the effects of ethnic and racial characteristics on social inequality in Mexico extend well beyond the dichotomous indigenous/non-indigenous divide. \nPatricio Solís is Professor-Researcher at the Center for Sociological Studies of El Colegio de México (2004-present) and Editor in Chief of the journal Estudios Sociológicos (2016-present). He obtained a PhD in Sociology from the University of Texas at Austin (2002)\, and a MD in Population Studies from FLACSO-México (1995). His research interests are social stratification\, intergenerational social mobility\, and educational inequality. He was the principal academic advisor of the Intergenerational Social Mobility Module (MMSI) 2016\, a national survey carried out by the National Institute of Statistic and Geography of Mexico (INEGI). Two of his most recent publications are the books “Discriminación estructural y desigualdad social” (2017\, Consejo Nacional para Prevenir la Discriminación-CEPAL) and “Desigualdad\, movilidad social y curso de vida en la Ciudad de México” (2017\, El Colegio de México). \nLight refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Sarah Baird\, George Washington University
DESCRIPTION:“When the Money Runs Out: Do Cash Transfers Have Sustained Effects on Human Capital Accumulation?” \nAbstract: The five-year evaluation of a cash transfer program targeted to young women points to both the promise and limitations of cash transfers for persistent welfare gains. Conditional cash transfers produced sustained improvements in education and fertility for initially out-of-school females\, but caused no gains in other outcomes. Significant declines in HIV prevalence\, pregnancy and early marriage observed during the program among recipients of unconditional cash transfers (UCTs) evaporated quickly after the cessation of support. However\, children born to UCT beneficiaries during the program had significantly higher height-for-age z-scores at follow-up pointing to the potential importance of cash during critical periods. \nAccess Podcast Here \nMore on Prof. Baird

SUMMARY:Susan Cassels\, UC Santa Barbara
DESCRIPTION:“Self-selection or enabling environments: What predicts the association between short-term mobility and sexual behavior?” \nAbstract: Short-term mobility is often associated with increased risk behavior. For example\, mobile individuals often have higher rates of sexual risk behavior compared to non-mobile individuals\, but the reasons why are not clear. Using monthly retrospective panel data from Ghana\, we test whether short-term mobility is associated with differences in total and unprotected sex acts\, and whether the association is due to enabling\, selection\, or influential reasons. In other words\, do mobile individuals express higher levels of risk due to an environment that enables that risk? Alternatively\, mobile individuals may be selected on some trait that predicts less aversion to risk. Men who were mobile in a given month had more sex acts compared to non-mobile men. Regardless of short-term mobility in a given month\, both men and women who were mobile in future months had more sex acts compared to individuals not mobile in future months. Our findings support the hypothesis that both men and women who are mobile are positively selected on sexual risk behavior. The enabling hypothesis\, that the act of being mobile enables sexual risk behavior\, was only supported for men. \nAccess Podcast Here \nMore on Prof. Cassels
