Microaggressions Survey - Please Participate
Due Feb 18th, $10 honorarium
Recently, our Graduate School Dean, Dr. Janet Rutledge, wrote to you as graduate students asking you to participate in a survey about your experience of microaggressions*. The deadline for the anonymous microaggressions survey has been extended to Friday Feb 18th.
*Microaggressions are statements, actions, or incidents regarded as an instance of indirect, subtle, or unintentional discrimination against members of a marginalized group on the basis of their racial or ethnic identity (here is a youtube video that has many examples of microaggressions in higher education and a pdf listing some general examples of microaggressions as well).
Please fill out the survey about whether or not you've experienced microaggressions as a graduate student here at UMBC and what you would like to see the Graduate School do to improve the community and climate here. The survey is short and can be completed in a few minutes, although there is an optional space for a narrative or recording to be added for you to share how microaggressions have impacted your graduate experience. Responses to the survey will be used as early as next week in a series of workshops for faculty, staff and administrators.
We understand that revisiting and reflecting on microaggressions is difficult and we thank you, deeply, for being willing to do that in order for us to amplify and learn from your experience.
In appreciation of your participation, there will be a separate link and instructions provided after completion of the survey that enables us to provide a $10 honorarium to you on your Campus Card (the anonymity of your survey responses will be protected). Thank you for helping us create a more responsive and inclusive graduate community.

Upcoming Graduate Student Experiences
Hosted by The Center for Democracy and Civic Life
Changing Maryland: 2022 Legislative Session on Monday, February 21 from 5 to 7 p.m.
You will meet state leaders and learn about their work, experiences, and aspirations relating to issues being addressed in the 2022 legislative session, including climate change, police reform, health care, higher education, and allocation of the historically large state budget surplus. You will also learn how to get involved in addressing these issues. Follow this link to RSVP (required).
Dinner with Friends on Monday, February 28 from 5 to 7 p.m.
You will spend the evening with UMBC students, staff, and faculty talking about how we can strengthen the UMBC community as we emerge from the pandemic: How can students, staff, and faculty restore and extend the sense of belonging many felt before March 2020? How can we best support and care for each other? Follow this link to RSVP (required).

Webex link"The Impact of Affirmative Action Litigation on Police Killings of Civilians"Abstract: Although research has shown that court-ordered hiring quotas increase the number of minority police officers in litigated cities, there has been little insight into how workforce diversity, or lack thereof, may impact police violence. Using an event-study framework, we find that the threat of affirmative action litigation reduces police killings of non-white civilians in the long-run. In addition, we find evidence of lower arrest rates for non-white civilians and more diverse police departments 25 years after litigation. Our results highlight the vital role that federal interventions have in addressing police behavior and the use of lethal force.

Webex link"Becoming Legible to the State: The Role of Detection and Enforcement Capacity in Tax Compliance"Abstract: Tax revenue in many low-income countries is inadequate for funding government investment in infrastructure and public services. This paper examines two dimensions of low state capacity that hinder tax collection: the inability to ascertain the tax base (detection capacity) and the inability to enforce unpaid liabilities (enforcement capacity). A randomized experiment with Liberian property owners finds that using identifying information from a newly developed property database to alert property owners that their noncompliance has been detected quadruples the tax payment rate, but only when the notice includes details on the penalties for noncompliance. A second experiment finds a further increase in compliance from signaling greater enforcement probability to delinquent property owners. These results highlight the importance of investments in both detection and enforcement capacity.
Thursday April 21, 2-3pmAmanda Deerfield Assistant Professor, Department of Economics, St. Mary's College of Maryland
WebEx link"Entrepreneurship and Regulatory Voids: The Case of Ridesharing"
Abstract: Formal institutions, e.g., regulations, are considered crucial determinants of entrepreneurship, but what enables regulatory change when there is a regulatory void, meaning entrepreneurship clashes with existing regulations? Drawing on public choice theory, we hypothesize that regulatory freedom facilitates the introduction of legislation to fill such voids. We test this hypothesis using unique data documenting the time for ridesharing to become legalized at the state level across the United States following its local (and often illegal) rollout. Results suggest states with greater regulatory freedom passed ridesharing legislation quicker, highlighting an underappreciated way that extant regulatory freedom facilitates the accommodation of entrepreneurship.
