Read moreInformal Enforcement: The Effect of Campaign Finance Violations on Electoral Support
When a politician is accused of violating campaign finance laws, do voters care? If the politician is convicted, how much does that affect voters’ support?

Read moreSimulating Intergenerational Mobility Amongst the English Medieval Peasantry
We are working to implement an agent-based simulation model (coded in Java) that will produce new estimates of social mobility for the medieval English peasantry. First we organized, processed, and analyzed a data set of over 30,000 individual seed yield entries from harvest records of English manors during the period 1211 to 1491. Then we used the estimate of seed yields as an input to our agent- based simulation model. We then plan to use this model to generate counterfactual estimates of social mobility (and other measures).

At the center of the exhibit, the Encyclyopédie's schematic tree of knowledge inspired by Bacon's own, displays the interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of knowledge-making in the 18th-century. Branching out into the faculties of Memory, Reason, and Imagination, human understanding is featured as the subversive key to accessing, critiquing, and creating knowledge through the disciplines ramifying from these faculties - including philosophy, history, and literary creative arts.

Read moreOrego: Artificial Intelligence and the Game of Go
Go (Weiqi), the oldest strategy game in the world, was invented in China thousands of years ago. Its rules are simpler than those of Chess, but its strategies more subtle and profound. Top human Go players, unlike Chess players, can still easily defeat the most powerful computers. The space of possible board configurations is unfathomably vast, many orders of magnitude larger than the number of electrons in the universe. We suspect that human Go strength depends on the ability to decompose the game into local subproblems that are largely, but not quite, independent.
