Dr. Archie works to understand intersection between animal social behavior, health, and fitness. Her research centers on the wild baboons of the Amboseli Baboon Research Project in Kenya. Founded in 1971, this study represents one of the longest-running, continuous studies of a wild primate...

In this paper, we examine the relationship between obesity and food purchase behavior using a novel and unique dataset that links individual-level scanner data on food purchases to survey data containing questions about an individual's obesity status. We find that obese individuals have higher...

We test the effectiveness of an entertainment education TV series, MTV Shuga, aimed at providing information and changing attitudes and behaviors related to HIV/AIDS. Using a simple model we show that "edutainment" can work through an `individual' or a `social' channel. We conducted a randomized...

The 1996 PRWORA reform introduced time limits on the receipt of welfare in the United States. We use variation by state and across demographic groups to provide reduced form evidence showing that such limits led to a fall in welfare claims (partly due to “banking” benefits for future use), a rise...

The simplex is the geometrical locus of D-dimensional positive data with constant sum, called compositions. When modeling compositions, the well established strategy is to get rid of the constraint by applying a log-ratio transform (lrt) of the parts (elements of the composition). The Dirichlet...

We derive conditions for identification of sophisticated, quasi-hyperbolic time preferences in a finite horizon, dynamic discrete choice model under a set of economically motivated exclusion restrictions. Identification is reduced to characterizing of the zero set of two bivariate polynomial moment...

Ambiguity in the ordinary language sense is that available informa- tion is open to multiple interpretations. We model this by assuming that individuals are unaware of some possiblities relevant to the out- come of their decisions and that multiple probabilities may arise over an individuals...
