DEAMBULAÇÕES NO TEATRO POÉTICO DE RENATA PIMENTEL
No full textIn this work, we focus on the work Denso e Leve como o voo das Árvores (2015), by Recife poet Renata Pimentel, born in 1972. The book is articulated around cycles of nature. Through geopoetry (SILVA JR, 2015), we advance through poetic voices in this book which, according to the author herself, is a dramaturgy-cycle of poems – set that articulates aesthetic, ethical and political dimensions of the poet-nature relationship. This investigation is guided by the studies of Augusto Silva Júnior (2015), Walter Benjamin (1989), Sigmund Freud (2011), Otávio Paz (2012) and other scholars, whose contributions add in a dialogical way with this effort of producing responsive literary critic about a living poet of Brazilian geopeosia.Este estudo analisa a publicação Denso e leve como o voo das árvores (2015), da poeta recifense contemporânea Renata Pimentel. O livro se articula em torno dos ciclos da natureza. Com amparo na teoria da geopoesia (SILVA JR, 2015), avançamos por entre vozes poéticas nessa obra que, segundo a própria autora, é uma dramaturgia-ciclo de poemas – conjunto que articula dimensões estéticas, éticas e políticas da relação poeta-natureza. O itinerário crítico aqui empreendido orienta-se pelos estudos de Augusto Silva Junior (2015), Walter Benjamin (1989), Sigmund Freud (2011), Otávio Paz (2012) e de outros estudiosos, cujas contribuições somem dialogicamente (BAKHTIN, 2010) com a proposta de se produzir crítica literária responsiva sobre uma poeta viva da geopoesia brasileira
Replication Data for: Descriptive Representation and Judicial Outcomes in Multi-Ethnic Societies
No full textThe extent to which judicial outcomes depend on judges' identities is a central question in multiethnic societies. Past work on the impact of the racial composition of appellate courts has narrowly focused on civil rights cases in the United States. We expand this literature by testing for ethnicity-based panel effects in criminal appeals in Israel. Using randomness in the assignment of cases to panels, we find that appeal outcomes for Jewish defendants are independent of panels' ethnic composition. By contrast, panel composition is highly consequential for Arab defendants, who receive more lenient punishments when their case is heard by a panel that includes at least one Arab judge, compared to all-Jewish panels. The magnitude of these effects is sizable: a 14–20% reduction in incarceration and a 15–26% reduction in prison sentencing. These findings contribute to recent debates on the relationship between descriptive representation and substantive outcomes in judicial bodies

Supporting code for "Optimal tradeoffs in matched designs for observational study"
No full text<p>This code implements the data assembly and data analysis for the working paper, "Optimal tradeoffs in matched designs for observational studies," by Samuel D. Pimentel (UC Berkeley) and Rachel R. Kelz (University of Pennsylvania). Information on obtaining a copy of the draft is available at https://www.stat.berkeley.edu/~spi/. The code consists of two parts, data assembly (conducted in SAS and Stata) and data analysis (conducted in R). </p>
<p><em>Data Assembly. </em>The data assembly is done by five scripts. The first 2 SAS scripts, PullGenSurgFL.sas and PullGenSurgNY.sas, extract the general surgery hospital discharge claims from raw data files provided by Florida and New York respectively. The next 2 Stata scripts, CleanGSFL.do and CleanGSNY.do, clean this raw data into a more usable format. Finally, the Stata script PullUSMGvsIMGData.do, combines the cleaned claims data from both states and cleans and links in surgeon covariates from the AMA masterfile. The final output is a single Stata file called TwoStateIMGUSMG.dta, which is used as the input to the data analysis.</p>
<p><em> Data Analysis. </em>The data analysis is run using a single master R script, main_script_v2.R. This script is accompanied by five additional R files which define various types of helper functions used in the analysis (and are loaded as part of the main script): descr_stats.R, attributable_effects_v3.R, obj_to_match.R, my_dummy.R, and tradeoff_functions_v5.R. As input, the master script relies on the TwoStateIMGUSMG.dta file created in the data assembly stage. It also uses two auxiliary files, NYfips.csv and FLfips.csv, which each contain two columns, the first giving FIPS codes and the second county names, for the appropriate states.</p>
