Abigail Outterson Skidmore College Mentor: Cynthia Bansak A wide variety of literature has been published on the controversial DREAM Acts and their goals of increased opportunities for exceptional undocumented youth living in the United States. This research identifies points of controversy and evaluates the logical reasoning related to the bipartisan proposals of DREAM Act legislation at the federal level and the passage of DREAM Act policies granting in-state resident tuition to undocumented students at the state level. Moral, legal, and economic arguments are analyzed, both in support of and in opposition to DREAM Act policies. Results indicate that there is a great deal of moral, legal, and economic precedent for increased opportunity gains to certain members of the undocumented population that in-state tuition policies cannot fulfill; though they have increased enrollment for undocumented students, they do not provide the same benefits that would be provided by federal legislation, including a conditional and eventually permanent change in legal status. Legislation at this level is expected to be generally beneficial for this community and for United States citizens. The Effect of Legal Status on Immigrant Wages and Occupational Skills Quinn Steigleder Colgate University Mentor: Chad Sparber Native and foreign-born workers with a high school degree or less educational attainment provide unique occupational skills to the US labor force. This regularity might be driven, in part, by limited access to occupations for immigrants lacking legal rights to work in the US. This paper exploits exogenous policy change induced by the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) to perform triple-difference estimation examining whether legal status causes immigrants to work in occupations that use skills more similar to those of native-born workers. We find that legal status decreases the manual skill intensity of Mexican immigrants by two percentiles. It increases communication skill intensity by an equivalent amount. This effect reduces the skill gap between Mexican-born and native-born American workers by 13%. The Native-Born Occupational Skill Response to Immigration within Education and Experience Cells Emily Gu Colgate University Mentor: Chad Sparber The population of immigrants in the United States has been increasing dramatically in the past few decades. This phenomenon has caused heated debate about how the immigrants have influenced the U.S. native workers for decades. The debate arises from two opposite arguments: immigration has lowered the wages for the native workers, versus immigration has insignificant to positive effects on the native wage structure. Both of these arguments are supported by various empirical analyses. Having two strong and opposite arguments about a topic of such political importance is disconcerting. Many economists attribute this disparity to the different methodologies adopted by the researchers on the opposite sides. The two methodologies that produce starkly different results are “spatial approach” and “national approach”. This paper does not contribute to the existing literature by claiming which approach is better. However, it provides an important insight into this decades-old debate by conflating the two different approaches. To be more specific, this paper looks for common ground by using the strategies adopted by national approach to find out if the relationship between immigrants, skills and wages exist as proved by spatial approach. 6 We found evidence for this relationship. Using methodologies predisposed to finding wage losses, which assumes perfect substitutability between natives and immigrants, our results show a 20% decrease in the negative effect if we assume natives specialize in occupations they have a comparative advantage.

Nepicastat is a selective dopamine b-hydroxylase (DBH) inhibitor that suppresses cocaine-primed reinstatement of cocaine seeking in rats. We verified whether nepicastat was able to modify the reinforcing and motivational properties of a chocolate solution and to prevent the reinstatement of chocolate seeking in rats. Nepicastat (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) produced a dose-related inhibition of operant self-administration of the chocolate solution in rats under fixed-ratio 10 (FR10) and progressive-ratio schedules , subject to the Cambridge Core terms of use, available at of reinforcement, measures of the reinforcing and motivational properties of the chocolate solution, respectively. The effect of nepica- stat on the reinstatement of chocolate seeking was studied in rats in which lever-responding had been extinguished by removing the chocolate solution for approximately 8 d.

Disulfiram has also been shown to deter cocaine use, even in the absence of an interaction with alcohol, indicating the existence of an ALDH-independent therapeutic mechanism. We hypothesized that disulfiram’s inhibition of dopamine b-hydroxylase (DBH), the catecholamine biosynthetic enzyme that converts dopamine (DA) to norepinephrine (NE) in noradrenergic neurons, underlies the drug’s ability to treat cocaine dependence. We tested the effects of disulfiram on cocaine and food self-administration behavior and drug-primed reinstatement of cocaine seeking in rats. We then compared the effects of disulfiram with those of the selective DBH inhibitor, nepicastat.
