Ruhm, Liana Fox, Wen-Jui Han, Jane Waldfogel Utilizing data from the 1967-2009 years of the March Current Population Surveys, we examine two important resources for children’s well-being: time and money. We document trends in parental employment, from the perspective of children, and show what underlies these trends. Learn more Published Research Citizen Participation and Congressional Responsiveness: New Evidence that Participation Matters Authors: Paul S. Martin, Michele P. Claibourn Learn more Published Research Leadership When Are Women More Effective Lawmakers Than Men? Authors: Craig Volden, Alan E. Wiseman, Vanderbilt University, Dana E. Wittmer, Colorado College Previous scholarship has demonstrated that female lawmakers differ from their male counterparts by engaging more fully in consensus-building activities. We argue that this behavioral difference does not serve women equally well in all institutional settings. Learn more Published Research Social Psychology The Invisible Man: Interpersonal Goals Moderate Inattentional Blindness to African Americans Authors: Sophie Trawalter, Jazmin L. Brown-Iannuzzi, Kelly M. Hoffman, B. Keith Payne ABSTRACT: Research on inattentional blindness demonstrates that when attending to 1 set of stimuli, people often fail to consciously perceive a task-irrelevant object. In this experiment, we tested for selective inattentional blindness to racial outgroup members.

Viscusi (eds) Learn more Published Research Private Equity and the Innovation Strategies of Entrepreneurial Firms: Empirical Evidence from the Small Business Innovation Research Program Authors: Christopher J. Ruhm Learn more Published Research Performance and Legacy of Housing Policies Authors: Edgar O. Olsen, Jens Ludwig, Martha J. Bailey, Sheldon Danziger (eds) Improving the housing of the poorest families was a high priority for President Lyndon B. Johnson. The widely-publicized problems found in the nation’s most distressed public housing projects, together with the fairly steady official poverty rate in the US since LBJ’s administration, have led many to a pessimistic view about what was accomplished by the War on Poverty’s housing programs for low-income families.

Moore, Ruskin Morgan Learn more Published Research Games groups play: Motivated mental models in intergroup conflict and negotiation Authors: Eileen Chou, Nir Halevy, J. Keith Murnighan Learn more Published Research Understanding Overeating and Obesity Authors: Christopher J. Ruhm The combination of economic and biological factors is likely to result in overeating, in the current environment of cheap and readily available food. This propensity is shown using a “dual-decision” approach where choices reflect the interaction between two parts of the brain: a “deliberative” system, operating as in standard economic models, and an “affective” system that responds rapidly to stimuli without considering long-term consequences.
