Association of American Universities ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES July 11, 2012 Dear Mr. President and Congressional Leaders: We write to urge your bipartisan leadership in forging a major, balanced long-term deficit-reduction agreement that will reduce budget deficits, rein in the nation’s debt, and create economic and job growth to ensure our nation’s long-term fiscal health and to prevent the indiscriminate cuts of sequestration. Sequestration is an undiscerning and blunt budget tool that would substantially harm our nation’s future by blindly slashing valuable investments in education and scientific research, as well as other important discretionary programs that provide health, economic, and national security. There is much public discussion about the impact of sequestration on the defense budget but little about the proposed indiscriminate cuts to the non-defense discretionary budget. Deficit reduction until now has concentrated almost entirely on non-defense discretionary expenditures, which are only about one-sixth of the budget. Spending on these programs is not the primary cause of our rising debt. Wholesale additional reductions in these and other programs that educate and train the next generation risk undermining our nation’s human capital, infrastructure, technological, and scientific needs. A prudent and effective deficit reduction agreement should seriously and thoughtfully address a primary source of long-term spending growth: entitlement programs. Entitlement programs account for a large percentage of the budget, and they are projected to take an increasing share of federal spending in the coming decade. However, the sizable deficit reduction required cannot be achieved solely through decreasing expenditures. Substantial tax reform that is designed both to encourage economic growth and to raise revenues needed to reduce the deficit should also be part of the package. The federal government has played and must continue to play a critical role in fostering U.S. economic competitiveness and economic growth, and therefore, even as the overall budget may be constrained, certain investments for the future must be a top priority. Americans know that investments in education and scientific research pay long-term dividends. Federal support for scientific research and student financial aid laid the foundation for the dramatic expansion of the 20th century U.S. economy and can do the same in the 21st. These investments produce the people and the ideas that lead to new products, new businesses, and entire new industries, as well as the jobs that go with them. Members of both political parties believe that a long-term deficit reduction agreement should specifically incorporate such investments. For example, the majority report of the bipartisan Bowles-Simpson Commission stated, “we must invest in education, infrastructure, and high-value research and development to help our economy grow, keep us globally competitive, and make it easier for businesses to create jobs.” As national leaders in higher education, we urge you to show America and the world that our country’s political system is capable of solving serious problems. The choices will not be easy, but throughout our nation’s history, American leaders have overcome great challenges with difficult decisions and sensible compromises. Please do so again and do so now.

Inequality at Birth: Some Causes and Consequences Janet Currie NBER Working Paper No. 16798 February 2011 JEL No. I12,Q51,Q53 ABSTRACT Recent research shows that health at birth is affected by many factors, including maternal education, behaviors, and participation in social programs. In turn, endowments at birth are predictive of adult outcomes, and of the outcomes of future generations. Exposure to environmental pollution is one potential determinant of health at birth that has received increasing attention.

  • Science and Mathematics Teacher Imperative
    Science and Mathematics Teacher Imperative January 6, 2010 President Barack Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: We write to salute your leadership and determination to revolutionize science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and to convey our commitment to contributing significantly to this noble goal. As you have so eloquently stated, if we as a nation do not prepare one of the world’s most educated, and scientifically and mathematically literate workforces, then we have no chance of continuing to be one of the world’s most secure and competitive economies. To educate our students to compete effectively in the global economy, we need to prepare the world’s best science and mathematics teachers. As the institutions with, by far, the largest cohorts of the most capable undergraduate science, mathematics and engineering students, public research universities have a critical role to play in preparing the number and quality of teachers the nation requires. Over the past several decades, our large public research institutions have all too often stood aside and not participated as we can–and must–to the critical need for highly qualified science and mathematics teachers. Discovery from research stimulates excitement and enthusiastic attention from young people. Learning by doing research at major research universities teaches science in the way that mere rote learning cannot. One of the needs now is to teach science in a different and more meaningful way–by prompting students to learn how to find the answers–and, perhaps more important, how to ask the questions.

Huang, Vanderbilt University Zheng Liu, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco John Q. Zhu, Fudan University School of Management August 2013 Working Paper 2013-23 http://www.frbsf.org/publications/economics/papers/2013/wp2013-23.pdf The views in this paper are solely the responsibility of the authors and should not be interpreted as reflecting the views of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, or the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. TEMPTATION AND SELF-CONTROL: SOME EVIDENCE AND APPLICATIONS KEVIN X.D. HUANG, ZHENG LIU, AND JOHN Q. ZHU Abstract. This paper studies the empirical relevance of temptation and self-control using household-level data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey. We construct an infinite- horizon consumption-savings model that allows, but does not require, temptation and self- control in preferences. In the presence of temptation, a wealth-consumption ratio, in ad- dition to consumption growth, becomes a determinant of the asset-pricing kernel, and the importance of this additional pricing factor depends on the strength of temptation. To identify the presence of temptation, we exploit an implication of the theory that a more tempted individual should be more likely to hold commitment assets such as IRA or 401(k) accounts. Our estimation provides empirical support for temptation preferences. Based on our estimates, we explore some quantitative implications of this class of preferences for capital accumulation in a neoclassical growth model and the welfare cost of the business cycle.

  • The Role of Residential Segregation in Racial Health Disparities During Childhood
    The Role of Residential Segregation in Racial Health Disparities during Childhood DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Bethany L. Boettner, M.A. Graduate Program in Sociology The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Cynthia G. Colen, Co-Advisor Zhenchao Qian, Co-Advisor John Casterline Reanne Frank Copyrighted by Bethany Lynn Boettner 2011 Abstract As individual-level explanations have generally proven insufficient for explaining racial differences in health, researchers have increasingly turned to residential contexts as a source of population health disparities. Residential segregation is a key defining characteristic of the American landscape and a powerful force for explaining racial inequality. Furthermore, segregation has been found to be a key explanatory mechanism for understand racial disparities in health through its impact on individual and neighborhood level socioeconomic status, discrimination and race-related stressors, and neighborhood quality. In this dissertation, I draw on life course perspectives and stress process models of health to explore how the distribution of social contexts along racial divisions are associated with physical health outcomes among children. Using longitudinal data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Survey Kindergarten Class of 1998-1999 data (ECLS-K), I address three specific research questions regarding the role of residential segregation on child well-being.

    Department of Computer Science 115 Waterman Street, 3rd floor Providence, Rhode Island Brown University MAY 12–15 Nima Arkani-Hamed 250th Anniversary Symposium: 2015 The Next 250 Years Kenneth Arrow We acknowledge with tremendous gratitude former President Ruth Simmons’ many valuable contributions to the organization of the previous two Symposia in this series, David Berson hosted by the Computer Science Department and organized together with the Office of the President. The symposium “John von Neumann Days at Brown University” (http://www.brown.edu/Research/Istrail_Lab/symp_2010.php) was organized by the von Patricia S. Churchland Neumann professor “cluster” in 2010, and “The Genome and the Computational Sciences: The Next Paradigms” symposium (http://www.brown.edu/Research/Istrail_Lab/ Leon Cooper symp_2006.php) in 2006. In particular, with funding from the Office of the President, room 368 of the CIT has just been renovated into a modern 21st-century classroom. We are delighted to have former President Simmons cut the ribbon to the new classroom on the Vincent Crawford occasion of this Symposium, which continues a tradition co-founded with her office and now enthusiastically supported by President Christina Paxson. These symposia were designed as an “academic cathedral” unified by von Neumann’s vision of “computation as a Freeman Dyson scientific lens.” We want to express our admiration and thanks to both Presidents Simmons and Paxson for their inspiring leadership and most generous support.

    Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis Research Department Staff Report 367 January 2006 Temptation and Self-Control: Some Evidence and Applications† Kevin X.D. Huang Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia Zheng Liu Emory University and Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis Qi Zhu Emory University ABSTRACT This paper studies the empirical relevance of temptation and self-control using household-level data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey. We estimate an infinite-horizon consumption- savings model that allows, but does not require, temptation and self-control in preferences. To help identify the presence of temptation, we exploit an implication of the theory that a tempted individual has a preference for commitment. In the presence of temptation, the cross-sectional distribution of the wealth-consumption ratio, in addition to that of consumption growth, becomes a determinant of the asset-pricing kernel, and the importance of this additional pricing factor depends on the strength of temptation. The estimates that we obtain provide statistical evidence supporting the presence of temptation. Based on our estimates, we explore some quantitative implications of this class of preferences on equity premium and on the welfare cost of business cycles. † We are grateful to Narayana Kocherlakota and Luigi Pistaferri for helpful suggestions, and to seminar participants at the Federal Reserve Bank, the University of Minnesota, the SED 2005 Annual Meeting, and the Midwest Macro 2005 Annual Meeting for comments.
