Characterizing the Life Cycle of Online News StoriesUsing Social Media Reactions by Castillo, Carlos, El-Haddad, Mohammed, Pfeffer, Jürgen, Stempeck, Matt

“…We show that we can use this hybrid observation method to characterize distinct classes of articles. We also find that social media reactions can help predict future visitation patterns early and accurately.We validate our methods using qualitative analysis as well as quantitative analysis on data from a large inter-national news network, for a set of articles generating more than 3,000,000 visits and 200,000 social media re-actions. …”

The (lack of) distortionary effects of proxy-means tests: Results from a nationwide experiment in Indonesia by Banerjee, Abhijit, Hanna, Rema, Olken, Benjamin A., Sumarto, Sudarno

“…In a separate survey six months later, households in treated provinces report fewer televisions, though the effect dissipates thereafter. We find no change in actual television sales, or reported or actual SIM card ownership, suggesting that consumption distortions are likely small.…”

Representation theoretic interpretation and interpolation properties of inhomogeneous spin q-Whittaker polynomials by Korotkikh, Sergei

“…Moreover, we are able to characterize spin q-Whittaker polynomials in terms of vanishing at certain points, and we find interpolation analogues of q-Whittaker and elementary symmetric polynomials.…”

Landau-Zener transitions in a superconducting flux qubit by Johansson, J., Amin, M. H. S., Berkley, A. J., Bunyk, P., Choi, V., Harris, R., Johnson, M. W., Lanting, T. M., Lloyd, Seth, Rose, G.

“…The method used isolates a single qubit, tunes its tunneling amplitude Δ into the limit where Δ is much less than both the temperature T and the decoherence-induced energy level broadening, and forces it to undergo a Landau-Zener transition. We find that the behavior of the qubit agrees to a high degree of accuracy with theoretical predictions for Landau-Zener transition probabilities for a double-well quantum system coupled to a nonMarkovian 1 / f…”

The impact of human capital and housing supply on urban growth by Büchler, Simon C, Niu, Dongxiao, Thompson, Anne K, Zheng, Siqi

“…To causally estimate this effect, we use a rich urban-level data set, choose our controls using the post-double-selection methodology, and instrument human capital with the per capita number of historical educational institutions. We find that human capital positively impacts urban population, house price and wage growth. …”

Contractor Learning and Home Energy Efficiency in Heat Pump Installations by Ontiveros, Johnattan H.

“…This work examines the role of learning on the cost and size of heat pump installations throughout the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) rebate program. We find that as contractors gain experience, heating systems are downsized at the cost of less hours of displaced fossil-fuel based heating. …”

The Effect of Social Information on Reliance and Efficacy in AI-assisted Prediction by Alsobay, Mohammed

“…Through a pre-registered randomized human-subject experiment, I study the effect of two forms of social information-direct conversations and summarized peer decisions----on users' reliance and effectiveness in leveraging algorithmic advice across a series of decision-making tasks, and how t he availability of local model explanations and performance feedback moderates this effect. I find t hat, on average, neither form of social information affects t rust directly, yet they both moderate t he extent to which feedback and model explanations influence trust in the algorithm. …”
