SUMMARY:Marco Tabellini\, Harvard Business School\, Climate Matching in Migration: From the American Frontier to Prehistory
DESCRIPTION:Biography: Marco Tabellini is an assistant professor in the Business\, Government\, and International Economy unit and is affiliated with the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)\, the Center for Economic Policy Research (CEPR)\, RF Berlin\, and IZA. He explores how international and internal migration reshapes politics\, societies\, and the economy. His work investigates when and why immigration stirs political backlash\, what drives successful social integration\, and how migration alters societal boundaries in diverse countries such as the United States. He also examines the economic consequences of immigration\, including its effects on labor markets and growth. Finally\, his research sheds light on the role of climate as a powerful force shaping migration flows across time and place. \n  \nClimate Matching in Migration: From the American Frontier to Prehistory\nAbstract: We examine how climate shapes human migration across both modern history and deep prehistory. Drawing on rich U.S. census and administrative data\, we show that migrants systematically sort into destinations whose climates resemble those of their origins\, a pattern we term climate matching. This pattern holds for both international and internal migration\, across historical (1850–1920) and modern (1970–2020) periods\, and played a central role in shaping the geography of U.S. settlement\, population growth\, and economic activity. We then push these ideas back into prehistory\, using ancient DNA to trace related individuals buried hundreds or thousands of kilometers apart. Linking these inferred migration flows to paleoclimate reconstructions reveals that even prehistoric populations tended to move along ecological corridors and into familiar climatic zones.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Brandon Stewart\, Princeton University\, "Using Large Language Model Annotations for the Social Sciences: A General Framework of Using Predicted Variables in Statistical Analyses"
DESCRIPTION:Biography: Brandon Stewart is Associate Professor of Sociology at Princeton University where he is also affiliated with the Office of Population Research and numerous other centers on campus. He currently serves as the Co-Editor-in-Chief of Political Analysis and Associate Editor at Sociological Methods & Research. His work spans several areas of computational social science with a focus on text as data and causal inference. \n  \n\n\n\n“Using Large Language Model Annotations for the Social Sciences: A General Framework of Using Predicted Variables in Statistical Analyses”\n\n\n\nAbstract: Social scientists use automated annotation methods\, such as supervised machine learning and\, more recently\, large language models (LLMs)\, that can predict labels and generate text-based variables. While such predicted text-based variables are often analyzed as if they were observed without errors\, we show that ignoring prediction errors in the automated annotation step leads to substantial bias and invalid confidence intervals in downstream analyses\, even if the accuracy of the automated annotations is high\, e.g.\, above 90%. We propose a framework of design-based supervised learning (DSL) that can provide valid statistical estimates\, even when predicted variables contain non-random prediction errors. DSL employs a doubly robust procedure to combine predicted labels and a smaller number of expert annotations. DSL allows scholars to apply advances in LLMs to social science research while maintaining statistical validity. We illustrate its general applicability using two applications where the outcome and independent variables are text-based.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Kara Rudolph\, Columbia University\, Causal Mediation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Biography: Kara Rudolph is an epidemiologist interested in developing and applying causal inference methods to better understand the prevention and treatment of substance use disorders. Currently\, she is a Associate Professor of Epidemiology at Columbia University. Her current work focuses on developing and applying methods for transportability and mediation to understand mechanisms relevant for drug use disorder prevention and treatment in various target populations. More generally\, her work on generalizing/ transporting findings from study samples to target populations and identifying subpopulations most likely to benefit from interventions contributes to efforts to optimally target available policy and program resources. She has completed a PhD in Epidemiology and an MHS in Biostatistics from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and was a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health and Society Scholar. \nCausal Mediation Workshop\nCausal mediation analysis can provide a mechanistic understanding of how an exposure impacts an outcome\, a central goal in epidemiology and health sciences. However\, rapid methodologic developments coupled with few formal courses presents challenges to implementation. Beginning with an overview of classical direct and indirect effects\, this workshop will present recent advances that overcome limitations of previous methods\, allowing for: (i) continuous exposures\, (ii) multiple\, non-independent mediators\, and (iii) effects identifiable in the presence of intermediate confounders affected by exposure. Emphasis will be placed on flexible\, stochastic and interventional direct and indirect effects\, highlighting how these may be applied to answer substantive epidemiological questions from real-world studies. Multiply robust\, nonparametric estimators of these causal effects\, and free and open source R packages (crumble) for their application\, will be introduced. To aid translation to real-world data analysis\, this workshop will incorporate hands-on R programming exercises to allow participants practice in implementing the statistical tools presented. It is recommended that participants have working knowledge of the basic notions of causal inference\, including counterfactuals and identification (linking the causal effect to a parameter estimable from the observed data distribution). Familiarity with the R programming language is also recommended. \n  \nAn recording of Kara Rudolph’s presentation may be accessed here.

SUMMARY:Jens Ludwig\, University of Chicago\, "Unforgiving Places: The Unexpected Origins of American Gun Violence"
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \nBiography: Jens Ludwig is the Edwin A. and Betty L. Bergman Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago\, co-director of the National Bureau of Economic Research working group on the economics of crime\, and Pritzker Director of the University of Chicago Crime Lab. He helped found the Crime Lab 16 years ago to serve as a sort of R&D partner to the public sector to help address major social problems like gun violence\, and has led to nationwide efforts to change policing\, community violence intervention\, and social programs for youth violence prevention\, as well as new data-driven decision tools in use across the entire New York City court system. This work has been published in leading peer-reviewed scientific journals and featured in national news outlets like the New York Times\, Washington Post\, Wall Street Journal\, NPR and PBS News Hour. He is an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine and serves on the  National Academy of Science’s Committee on Law and Justice. \nUnforgiving Places: The Unexpected Origins of American Gun Violence\nWhat if everything we understood about gun violence was wrong? \nIn 2007\, economist Jens Ludwig moved to the South Side of Chicago to research two big questions: Why does gun violence happen\, and is there anything we can do about it? Almost two decades later\, the answers aren’t what he expected. Unforgiving Places is Ludwig’s revelatory portrait of gun violence in America’s most famously maligned city. \nDisproving the popular narrative that shootings are the calculated acts of malicious or desperate people\, Ludwig shows how most shootings actually grow out of a more fleeting source: interpersonal conflict\, especially arguments. By examining why some arguments turn tragic while others don’t\, Ludwig shows gun violence to be more circumstantial—and more solvable—than our traditional approaches lead us to believe. \nDrawing on decades of research and Ludwig’s immersive fieldwork in Chicago\, including “countless hours spent in schools\, parks\, playgrounds\, housing developments\, courtrooms\, jails\, police stations\, police cars\, and lots and lots of McDonald’ses\,” Unforgiving Places is a breakthrough work at the cutting edge of behavioral economics. As Ludwig shows\, progress on gun violence doesn’t require America to solve every other social problem first; it only requires that we find ways to intervene in the places and the ten-minute windows where human behaviors predictably go haywire. \n  \nA recording of Jens Ludwig’s presentation may be accessed here.

SUMMARY:Jamie Goodwin-White\, UCLA "’Citizenship from the outside’:  Undocumented immigrants and the making of civic and political life”
DESCRIPTION:Jamie Goodwin-White (Department of Geography UCLA)\, David Jacobson (Department of Sociology\, University of South Florida) \n“’Citizenship from the outside’: Undocumented immigrants and the making of civic and political life”.\nWe argue that profound changes take place regarding citizenship that are not fully captured in scholarly analysis or\, for that matter\, in public discussion. The challenge is that conventional analytical categories are unable to account for these fundamental changes. If\, instead\, we view citizenship developments through a civic and social lens–rather than with the assumption of formal legal citizenship as the end-point–the question\, what are we missing\, becomes more straightforward to address. By adopting a social and civic lens\, we argue we can reveal several key characteristics of citizenship that have been obscured by a focus on formal institutions. Citizenship is a dynamic\, lived experience shaped by social interactions\, cultural practices\, and political contestations–even the severe ones proffered by populist leaders. We will discuss\, inter alia\, the following propositions: 1) Citizenship and rights develop through claims from “outsiders.” 2) The liminal is constitutive\, not a marginal\, deferred\, or an in-between status. We witness\, repeatedly\, that institutions (notably\, but not only\, courts) are forced to take account of social and civic practices driven by undocumented migrants. If we think of it in terms of a civic lens\, key derivative questions arise–notably\, how should we understand “integration” in this context?

SUMMARY:Janet Currie\, Princeton University\, "Investing in Children to Address the Child Mental Health Crisis"
DESCRIPTION:Biography: Janet Currie is the Henry Putnam Professor of Economics and Public Affairs at Princeton University and the co-director of Princeton’s Center for Health and Wellbeing.  She also co-directs the Program on Families and Children at the National Bureau of Economic Research.  Currie is a pioneer in the economic analysis of child development.  Her current research focuses on socioeconomic differences in health and access to health care\, environmental threats to health\, the important role of mental health\, and the long-run impact of health problems in pregnancy and early childhood.  Currie is a member of the National Academy of Sciences\, the National Academy of Medicine\, and of the American Academy of Art and Sciences.  She will be the President of the American Economic Association in 2024 and has served as the President of the American Society of Health Economics\, the Society of Labor Economics\, the Eastern Economic Association\, and the Western Economic Association.  She is the Distinguished CES Fellow in 2023\, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Political and Social Science\, the Society of Labor Economists\, and of the Econometric Society\, and has honorary degrees from the University of Lyon and the University of Zurich.  She was a NOMIS Distinguished Scientist in 2019\, the winner of the 2023 Klaus J. Jacobs Research Prize\, one of the top 10 women in Economics by the World Economic Forum in July 2015\, and an Alumna of Influence by the University of Toronto in 2012.  She has served on the Board of Reviewing Editors of Science\, as the Editor of the Journal of Economic Literature\, and on the editorial boards of many other journals. \n  \n\n\n\nInvesting in Children to Address the Child Mental Health Crisis\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract: The child mental health crisis has been described as the “defining public health crisis of our time.” This article addresses three myths about the crisis: 1) The idea that the crisis is new; 2) The belief that increases in youth suicide mainly reflect deterioration in children’s underlying mental health; 3) The myth that investments in children have little impact on children’s mental health. In fact\, the crisis has existed for decades\, youth suicides vary asynchronously with other mental health measures and are impacted by external factors such as firearms legislation\, and investments can improve child mental health and prevent suicide. \n  \nA recording of Janet Currie’s presentation may be accessed here.

SUMMARY:Emma Zang\, Yale University\, "Life-Course Exposure to State Policy Liberalism Contexts and Later-Life Cognitive Health"
DESCRIPTION:Biography: Dr. Emma Zang is an Assistant Professor of Sociology\, Biostatistics\, and Global Affairs at Yale University. Zang’s research interests lie at the intersection of health and aging\, marriage and family\, and inequality\, with a particular focus on examining these dynamics in both the United States and China. She is also interested in developing and evaluating methods to model trajectories and life transitions\, aiming to understand the impact of demographic and socioeconomic inequalities on individuals’ health and well-being from a life course perspective. Her work has appeared in journals such as the American Journal of Sociology\, Demography\, PNAS\, JAMA Internal Medicine\, and Nature Human Behavior. Her projects have been funded by the National Institute of Health. Her research has received media coverage from notable outlets in the United States\, China\, South Korea\, India\, and Singapore. She has received awards from the American Sociological Association\, the National Institute on Aging\, the Southern Demographic Association\, and Social Science History Association\, etc. \n\n\n\n“Life-Course Exposure to State Policy Liberalism Contexts and Later-Life Cognitive Health”\n\n\n\nAbstract: Polarization in U.S. state policy has driven geographic disparities in population health\, but most studies focus on concurrent policy contexts rather than cumulative exposure over the life course. A life course perspective is crucial because individuals experience varied policy environments at different stages\, shaping long-term health outcomes\, including cognitive health. Using restricted-access data from the Health and Retirement Study (1998–2020) linked to state policy data (1936–2014)\, this study examines how life-course exposure to state policy liberalism affects later-life cognitive health. We analyze five periods—early childhood (ages 0-5)\, school age (6-12)\, adolescence (13-17)\, transition to adulthood (18-30)\, and adulthood (31-50)—and their impact on cognitive functioning and impairment risk. We test theories around timing\, duration\, and sequence of exposure. Findings show that prolonged exposure to liberal policies\, especially in early childhood and adulthood\, improves cognitive outcomes. Exposure trajectories\, particularly increasing liberal policies over time\, also enhance cognitive health. These findings highlight the lasting impact of public policy on cognitive health and suggest that supportive policy environments during key life stages can mitigate cognitive decline and reduce disparities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nEmma Zang’s presentation may be accessed here.
