  • A Strategic Overview of the Silicon Valley Ecosystem: Towards Effectively “Harnessing” the Ecosystem
    A Strategic Overview of the Silicon Valley Ecosystem: Towards Effectively “Harnessing” the Ecosystem 8. University-Industry, University-Government Ties Kenji E. Kushida Universities are a critical component of the Silicon Valley ecosystem, serving as a multifaceted focal point for the exchange of human capital, ideas, technologies, and more. As such, Japanese companies that can effectively make use of universities for the variety of functions they can offer stand to benefit and become more effectively integrated into the Silicon Valley ecosystem. To do so, the first step is understanding the role of universities. The relationship between the government, universities and industries is often misunderstood as unidirectional, with the government encouraging innovations at universities by providing funding and the universities producing new ideas that are commercialized by industry. The reality observed in Silicon Valley, however, is more complex and multi-directional. The efforts for innovation are more often driven by individual researchers at universities rather than the government agencies or university administration, and initial ideas for innovation often comes from industries. The university-industries ties that contribute to the Silicon Valley ecosystem are multifaceted, diverse, and not easily captured by a single set of metrics. This in itself has caused much confusion for actors wishing to learn about Silicon Valley, not only from those outside the US, but in US media portrayals as well. This is partly because of the close relationship between the multifaceted university-government ties that anchor much of the university-industry ties. The core research universities are Stanford University and the University of California. Among the University of California schools UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco Medical Center are within the broader Silicon Valley ecosystem, with UC Davis also playing an important role, particularly in agricultural science.

Secondary fields: Decision Theory, Behavioral Economics. JOB MARKET PAPER “The Cost of Optimally Acquired Information” (with Weijie Zhong) This paper develops a theory for the expected cost of optimally acquired information when information can be acquired sequentially and there is no explicit cost of delay. We study the “reduced-form” Indirect Cost functions for information generated by sequential minimization of a “primitive” Direct Cost function. The class of Indirect Costs is characterized by a recursive condition called Sequential Learning- Proofness. This condition is inconsistent with Prior Invariance: Indirect Costs must depend on the decision-maker’s prior beliefs. We show that Sequential Learning-Proofness provides partial optimality foundations for the Uniformly Posterior Separable (UPS) cost functions used in the rational inattention literature: a cost function is UPS if and only if it is an Indirect Cost that (i) satisfies a mild regularity condition or, equivalently, (ii) is 1 generated (only) by Direct Costs for which the optimal sequential strategy involves observing only Gaussian diffusion signals.

SUDPS in conjunction with Santa Clara County Office of Parking Violations has implemented an Administrative Review procedure for contesting parking citations in accordance with Assembly Bill 408 (effective July 1, 1993). AB 408 established a three step process for contesting parking violations: an ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW, an ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING, and an appeal to the SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION of the MUNICIPAL COURT. If you wish to appeal a parking citation you must, within twenty one (21) days of the date of issuance of the citation, or fourteen (14) days from the date of the mailing of the Notice of Delinquent Violation, request either an administrative review or hearing. If you do not make your request within the appropriate period of time, the law specifies that you lose your right to appeal the citation.

A recently completed feasibility study indicated that geothermal energy could potentially provide as much as 80% of the renewable heat needed for the Cornell campus, with the rest provided by biomass and other sources. Multiple potential target bedrock units were identified in the lower sedimentary basin rocks and crystalline basement rocks at depths ranging from 2240 – 3500 m. Cornell intends to drill a test well through the sedimentary basin rocks and into the crystalline basement to investigate and confirm the bedrock and reservoir properties, including collecting data necessary to adequately characterize the risk of induced seismicity associated with development of the reservoir and operation of the geothermal system.
