SUMMARY:Applied Microeconomics and Trade Seminar Series Presents: Guo Xu
DESCRIPTION:Applied Microeconomics and Trade Seminar\nDate: Thursday\, January 22\, 2026\nTime: 1:40 – 3:00 p.m.\nLocation: E2-499\n\n \n\nSpeaker: Guo Xu\nTitle: Associate Professor of Economics \nAffiliation: University of California\, Berkeley  \nHost: Ajay Shenoy \n  \nSeminar title: Personnel is Policy: Delegation and Political Misalignment in the Rulemaking Process\n\nABSTRACT: We combine comprehensive data on the U.S. federal rulemaking process with individuallevel personnel and voter registration records to study the consequences of partisan misalignment between regulators and the president. We present three main results. First\, even important pieces of new regulation are frequently delegated to bureaucrats who are politically misaligned. Second\, rules that are overseen by misaligned regulators take systematically longer to complete\, are more verbose\, generate more negative feedback from the public\, and are more likely to be challenged in court. Third\, in assigning regulators to rules\, agency leaders often face a sharp tradeoff between political alignment and expertise. Agency frictions notwithstanding\, they tend to resolve this tradeoff in favor of expertise.

SUMMARY:HSI Equity Talk
DESCRIPTION:Title: Understanding the advising praxes central to student success at a four-year Hispanic-Serving Research Institution \nPresenter: Dr. Lydia Iyeczohua Zendejas \nLocation: Via Zoom (link provided via RSVP) \nAbstract: Higher education scholars increasingly recognize academic advising as a critical strategy for supporting the persistence of systemically marginalized students. Since the 1990s\, UC Santa Cruz has undergone significant growth and demographic shifts—undergraduate enrollment grew from 10\,269 in 1999 to 17\,517 in 2019\, with sharp increases in underrepresented\, first-generation\, and Hispanic students—creating both challenges and opportunities for advancing equitable outcomes. \nDr. Zendejas’s interview-based qualitative study examines how UCSC’s decentralized\, dual shared advising model shapes advisors’ ability to provide holistic\, culturally responsive advising. In this HSI equity talk\, she will share how advising structures\, practices\, and policies impact advisors’ capacity to support students\, how the current model can act as a structural barrier to collaboration\, and the advising praxis advisors identify as essential to student success\, persistence\, and retention. \nPlease complete this RSVP form if you plan to attend. The Zoom information and a calendar invitation will be sent to those who RSVP.

SUMMARY:Renowned climatologist Zeke Hausfather speaks on "Progress and Peril in a Warming World"
DESCRIPTION:Zeke Hausfather\, noted climate scientist\, is the climate lead at Stripe\, writes for Carbon Brief\, and is affiliated with Berkeley Earth and the Breakthrough Institute. He is a lead author on the  IPCC AR7 report.  His blog\, The Climate Brink\, is one of the most popular go-to spots for climate information on Substack. \nDr. Hausfather’s presentation abstract follows: \nRecent progress on climate policy coupled with more rapid than expected declines in clean energy costs have bent down the curve of future emissions. Growing consensus is that 21st century warming will likely remain below 3˚C. \nHowever it is difficult to fully preclude an eventual warming of 4˚C or more under a current policy world if there are continued positive emissions after 2100\, or if carbon cycle feedbacks and climate sensitivity are on the high end of current estimates. \nThis talk will review our current climate trajectory and its impacts and assess measures needed to further reduce future warming and hedge against climate tail risks. \nPlease come in person to the Center for Adaptive Optics atrium\, or zoom in to https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84461520550?pwd=9BaUYofFdp9JfHg3x8CJdH3RBt5eDm.1 \nA special Q&A session for undergraduates will be held at the CfAO atrium from 2-3! \nCfAO is adjacent to Earth and Marine Sciences and Natural Sciences II. \n
