Replication Data for: Context and Accountability: How the Informational and Partisan Contexts Shape Voter Behavior and Representation
No full textThis dissertation examines how the informational and partisan contexts affect the behavior of voters. I study these contextual effects by leveraging variation in contextual features induced by the geography of media markets and redistricting. The first essay investigates the extent to which the nationalization of the news explains the nationalization of U.S. elections. I examine local television news coverage of governors and U.S. senators and show that increased news coverage translates into greater knowledge of governors and senators and increases rates of split-ticket voting. These results imply that local news coverage attenuates the nationalization of elections even in the present polarized context. The second essay explores the role of the informational context in retrospective voting. I assess whether greater exposure to relevant local news coverage enables voters to reward or punish Senate incumbents based on the extremity of their roll-call voting. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that voters infer incumbent ideology from news coverage and utilize this information in their vote choice: in-state television provides moderate incumbent senators with an electoral boost, while extreme senators experience an electoral penalty. The third essay, coauthored with Benjamin Schneer (Harvard Kennedy School) and Bernard L. Fraga (Indiana University) considers whether individuals are more likely to vote when their party dominates election outcomes. Leveraging nationwide voter file data and the redistricting process, we present causal evidence on this question via a longitudinal analysis of individual-level political participation. We find a measurable increase in turnout for individuals assigned to districts aligned with their partisan identities as compared to individuals in misaligned districts. An analysis of survey data spanning the districting cycle points to the expressive benefits of voting for the winning party as a key mechanism

Sam Moskowitz: A Bibliography and Guide
No full textA comprehensive bibliography of the writings of Sam Moskowitz. Sam Moskowitz was a fixture in science fiction, from near the beginning to the present day. He was a fan, editor, author, historian, critic, WorldCon
organizer, and cheerleader for the science fiction field. He was a prolific author of books, articles and letters. His books are readily available in libraries or for sale. The same cannot be said of many of his articles, and
certainly not of his letters. Many of the articles and letters appeared in science fiction pulps and in fanzines. Some of the fanzines were quite professional in appearance, content and editing, and served a valuable service to science fiction scholarship in preserving much of the early history of science fiction. The writings of Sam Moskowitz are an important part of that historical archive. Eric Davin notes that "Sam Moskowitz saw himself as the science fictionhistorian of record." It is a good description. He researched and recorded
much about the beginnings of science fiction that remains the only resource available on a particular person or topic. An accurate scholarly judgment of the historical and critical output of Moskowitz remains to be done. This edition supercedes "Sam Moskowitz: A Preliminary Bibliography" (2009)

Electrically Triggered Release of a Small Molecule Drug from a Polyelectrolyte Multilayer Coating
No full textAvailable in PMC 2011 December 14.Electrically triggered drug delivery represents an attractive option for actively and remotely controlling the release of a therapeutic from an implantable device (e.g., a “pharmacy-on-a-chip”). Here we report the fabrication of nanoscale thin films that can release precise quantities of a small molecule drug in response to application of a small, anodic electric potential of at least +0.5 V versus Ag/AgCl. Films containing negatively charged Prussian Blue (PB) nanoparticles and positively charged gentamicin, a small hydrophilic antibiotic, were fabricated using layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly. When oxidized, the PB nanoparticles shift from negatively charged to neutral, inducing dissolution of the film. Films with thicknesses in the range 100−500 nm corresponding to drug loadings of 1−4 μg/cm2 were characterized. We demonstrate control over the drug dosage by tuning the film thickness as well as the magnitude of the applied voltage. Drug release kinetics ranging from triggered burst release to on/off, or pulsatile release, were achieved by applying different electric potential profiles. Finally, the in vitro efficacy of the released drug was confirmed against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Given the versatility of an external electrical stimulus and the ability of the LbL assembly to conformally coat a variety of substrates regardless of size, shape, or chemical composition, we maintain that electrically controlled release of a drug from an LbL-coated surface could have applications in both implantable medical devices and transdermal drug delivery systems.National Science Foundation (U.S.).

People, Preferences & Prices: Sequencing the Economic Genome of the Consumer Mind
No full textThis book explores a variety of topics that fall in the realm of psychological and behavioral economics. It demonstrates to the reader how to perform straightforward experiments in order to understand how people think about the economic aspects of their daily lives.
Behavioral economics is a 'hot new area' of economics and consumer psychology. This book provides a comprehensive guide on consumer research and the types of results required. These approaches are spreading further around the globe, thanks to the work of Dr. Howard Moskowitz, one of the authors of this book, and the incredible success of Selling Blue Elephants. In other words, the book is just slightly ahead of a sea change in consumer research, and may be one of the 'tipping points'. (Coincidentally, Malcolm Gladwell, the bestselling author, is a great admirer of Dr. Moskowitz)</jats:p

Behavior of Momentum in the Foreign Exchange Market: Evidence from Portfolio Approach
No full textThis paper investigates the momentum strategy of currency using 66 cross-currency exchange rates from spanning period of December 1984 to December 2015. We follow the approach from Daniel and Moskowitz (2016) paper to investigate the source of the momentum returns. Our finding, however, shows that the (i) unlike stock market, out sample does not behave as it is predicted by Daniel and Moskowitz (2016) result, (ii) the loser portfolio, however, acts the same way as it does in stock market, and (iii) the source of returns from WML is mainly from loser portfolio rather winner portfolio
