About the series

The Tippie Research Office presents this series in collaboration with the departments of Business Analytics, Economics, and Finance.

This series provides a forum for Tippie faculty and PhD students to present and discuss current projects in a low-pressure environment.

Each seminar will present a computational or quantitative research method, possibly along with an application of the method, guidelines for use, and/or ethical considerations. We strive to provide a successful introduction to methods, while offering new insights for more experienced researchers.

Consider this as a conversation with opportunities throughout for questions and to provide feedback on the session, share their own research experiences, and meet others with similar interests.

Who should attend?

All researchers interested in learning about research methods, including early career researchers and doctoral students. The value of the seminar for all attendees is increased by interdisciplinary participation, so please attend presentations from outside your field.

Title: Modeling and Measuring Affective Polarization of the Society Abstract: Politically divided societies are also often divided emotionally: people like and trust those with similar political views (in-group favoritism) while disliking and distrusting those with different views (out-group animosity). This phenomenon, called affective polarization, influences individual decisions, including seemingly apolitical choices such as whether to wear a mask or what car to buy. We present a dynamical...
