▼ I estimate productivity gains from iodine deficiency eradication. I look at the historical experience of Switzerland and the United States, where iodine deficiency was endemic in certain regions, due to their geography. Iodine deficiency was eradicated in the 1920s by providing iodized salt to the population. I use microdata from the 1970 Swiss Census, combined with data on the pre-existing variation of iodine deficiency, and data on the market penetration of iodized salt. I merge this data with information on occupational characteristics. I find that iodization increased the probability of graduating from secondary and tertiary education by around 1 percentage point. The effect is bigger for females, where iodization explains 9-14% of the total change in graduation rates from upper education levels over this period. I also find that cohorts born in previously highly-deficient areas after the introduction of iodized salt self-selected into higher-paying occupations. Furthermore, the characteristics of occupations in those areas changed, and cohorts born after iodization selected into occupations with higher cognitive demands, whereas they opted out of physical-labor-intensive occupations. My results on occupational choice are driven by the effect of iodization on males. In joint work with Professors David N. Weil and James Feyrer, we study the effects of salt iodization in the United States in 1924. We document that right after iodized salt was introduced, there was a spike in thyroid-related deaths, centered on older-age groups and particularly affecting older females. We use data compiled during the WWI draft, which document the geographic variation in underlying iodine deficiency across US localities. We combine that data with military data from the WWII draft, and present evidence that the Air Corps received preferential treatment in its choice of recruits. By treating assignment into the Air Corps as a proxy for above-average cognitive ability, we find that the probability of assignment to the Air Corps jumps by 4-6 percentage points for those born after iodization in highly deficient areas. In a falsification exercise, we find no evidence of such a jump in the case of other disorders. Advisors/Committee Members: Weil, David (director), Chay, Kenneth (reader), Rubinstein, Yona (reader).

▼ Choice performances of six Brown Shaver hens were studied across three series of conditions, using a partial replication of Stagner and Zentall’s (2010) procedure. Hens chose between two alternatives during choice-trials. Choice of the low-probability alternative provided one of two stimuli that reliably predicted 100% reinforcement on 20% of the trials, and 0% reinforcement on the remaining 80% of trials. Choice of the non-discriminative alternative provided one of two unreliable stimuli that non-differentially signalled 50% reinforcement, regardless of the stimulus presented. In Conditions 1-4 and Condition 6, the stimuli and reinforcement contingencies associated with the side keys were repeatedly reversed across conditions. In Condition 5, stimulus and reinforcement contingencies were each equated at 50%. Results replicated Stagner and Zentall’s (2010) findings demonstrating that choice for the low-probability alternative for most hens remained almost exclusive across reversals, except Condition 5 where previous choice performances for all subjects, was disrupted. In Conditions 7-11, the reliability of the low-probability stimuli was gradually decreased across conditions. Results showed that the decreasing reliability of the low-probability stimuli did not deter many hens from choosing suboptimally. Conditions 12 and 13 reversed Conditions 8 and 11, respectively. Results showed that choice performances for most hens in Condition 13 varied considerably from Condition 11. The main finding from this study is that hens do not exclusively choose signals that reliably signal a reinforcing outcome. This is because choice for the low-probability alternative for many hens was not affected when the reliability of those signals decreased. This suggests that the signals themselves may be more reinforcing than their subsequent outcome which may have implications for human gambling behaviour.

▼ This study addressed the question of whether an overall preference for a suboptimal choice, previously found in pigeons (Stagner and Zentall, 2010), would be replicated with five brushtail possums. In Part One of this experiment possums responded on a concurrent-chain procedure where both alternatives had fixed-ratio 1 schedules in the initial link and a fixed-interval 10s in the terminal link. Two stimuli outcomes (four line orientations) are presented on the alternatives based on a probability of 0.20 or 0. 80. The left produced a discriminative stimulus with the right reinforcing on half of trials (20:50). Three of the five possums showed a consistent preference for the optimal alternative (50%), while the others showed a preference for the suboptimal (20%). When data was averaged possums showed a preference for the optimal alternative, which was not consistent with Stagner and Zentall’s (2010) earlier findings. Part Two of this investigation replicated Gipson, Alessandri, Miller and Zentall (2009), probabilities of stimuli appearing were changed to 50/50, with a discriminative stimulus on the left alternative and the probability of reinforcement on the optimal alternative increased to 75% (50:75). The discriminative stimuli were now more predictable than previously, when this was not present all possums showed a preference for the suboptimal alternative. When discriminative stimuli were associated with both alternatives (20:50), replicating Stagner, Laude and Zentall (2012), all possums showed all possums optimal preferences. An overall preference for the optimal alternative, seen during this study, is consistent with the findings reported in a more recent study by Trujano and Orduña’s (2015) with rats. This overall optimal preference is somewhat consistent with optimal foraging theory, however, this does not account for the suboptimal choices made by some possums. The suboptimal preferences seen by two possums in Part One and all in Part Two also loosely support previous findings that pigeons are under the control of discriminative stimuli.

▼ This study proposed a theoretical model of choice overload and empirically examined the model in the context of online apparel shopping. The purpose of the study was to investigate how the number of choices and product presentation formats influenced consumers’ online apparel shopping experience as well as how the formed attitude subsequently influenced consumers’ behavioral decision of subscribing to an email mailing list. To date, previous studies on choice overload have been conducted using experimental research designs, but findings from these experiments only provide fragmentary explanations about the phenomenon. The absence of a comprehensive framework to explain this phenomenon motivated the researcher to develop a theoretical model that treats consumer decision making in choice overload conditions as a continuous process. The proposed theoretical model is superiorly explaining under what circumstances the “too-much-choice effect” is more likely to occur, what evaluation mechanism consumers go through to form their attitude, and what consequences may result. Additionally, the researcher examined the effect of a moderator, product presentation format, on the relationships between the numbers of choices and the internal responses (attitude formation) in the context of apparel e-commerce. Both focus group and questionnaire data collection methods were conducted. First, because of the limited literature on choice overload in e-commerce, the researcher conducted an exploratory study consisting of two focus groups with female college students. The purpose of the focus groups was to understand the relationship between choice overload and consumers’ apparel online shopping experience, such as favorable and unfavorable shopping experiences as well as website designs/navigations. Next, questions were developed that measured consumers’ affective, behavioral, and cognitive evaluative responses (three components of attitude) when facing choice overload. In this stage of data collection, an online questionnaire with nine conditions (mock websites) was developed. The experimental design was a 3 X 3 factorial design with three levels of number of choices (24 vs. 60 vs. 120) and three levels of product presentation formats (Model vs. Flat vs. Hybrid). To examine the main and interaction effects, two-way Analysis of Covariance (two-way ANCOVA) was conducted. The Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Logistic SEM were applied to examine the hypothesized relationships among the number of choices, components of internal responses/attitude formation, and the behavioral decision variable (subscribing to a mailing list) in the proposed model. The findings revealed that consumers went through a series of stages to generate their behavioral decision when facing choice overload. Their internal responses followed the experiential hierarchy in the ABC model of attitudes to form their attitude (affective → behavioral → cognitive responses). The attitude formed had a substantial impact on their behavioral decision of signing up for the… Advisors/Committee Members: Burns, Leslie (advisor), Koenig, Hal (committee member).

▼ The contemporary tourism industry is often forced to face events that represent a threat to individuals’ safety. Life- threatening events pose a challenge to travelers’ intentions to plan a leisure trip and influence in a substantive manner human decisions. Individual sensitivity towards potential hazards show a great deal of variation among consumers and several tourism scholars have spent the last years investigating the sources of heterogeneity in hazard-induced travel decisions. The present PhD dissertation collects three research articles dealing with tourist risk perception, hazard-induced travel behaviour and the role of individual traits in decision-making influenced by potential hazards. The specific aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between travel attitudes and hazard-induced risk perception, and between risk perception and travel choices. Furthermore, the work intends to assess the differences between distinct life-threatening hazards and the way in which these determine travel decisions. For the purpose of empirical analysis, a structured survey was administered to a sample of university students. Part of the questionnaire was dedicated to a stated preference experiment in which individuals had to choose between hypothetical alternatives of travels characterized by hazards. In this thesis, advanced econometric techniques – namely, Integrated Choice and Latent Variable modelling – are implemented in order to allow unobservable individual traits to be tested as significant determinants of travellers’ decisions. The main results highlight that travel attitudes bear a significant role in shaping risk perception only for certain types of hazards. The analysis of stated preferences data show that an increasing level of risk perception negatively influences the likelihood to travel to dangerous destinations, but important and significant differences are present in the sample of respondents.

▼ Background: The foods people choose to eat can determine their health status because inadequate or excessive amounts of certain food components are associated with risk of disease. A number of factors influence the foods people choose and the amounts of these foods, such as social situations, habits, advertising and the cost of food (Delormier, et al., 2009). The aim of this study is to identify the perceptions and environmental factors that are associated with food choices and the extent of perceptions to adherence to dietary advice among women with type 2 diabetes. Objectives: 1) To describe food behaviours of women who have diabetes, within their own daily food patterns; 2) To describe the perceptions of women who have diabetes about their social, economic and environmental situations that influence their food choice;, and 3) To identify the perceptions that are associated with the intent or ability to adhere to recommended health and nutrition behaviours. Methodology: Semi-structural individual interviews were used to collect data from 20 women with type 2 diabetes. The Food Choice Map was used to generate the food patterns and food perceptions, Interviews were recorded and transcripts were analyzed by using principles of the Theory of Planned Behavior, constant comparison method to extract themes, and coded by Nvivo software. In addition, the women completed a demographic questionnaire. Results: Of the major factors that the women perceived as influencing their food behaviours, four major factors enabled women to follow nutritional advice, while three factors acted as barriers to following the advice. Groups of women were identified: those who wanted to follow advice and did, those who did not want to follow advice and did not, those who wanted to follow advice but could not, and those who wanted to follow advice but experienced psychological conflict in doing so. Conclusion: Results showed that food behaviours could be better understood through multi-dimensional factors. The four groups of women with diabetes according to perceived intent or ability to adhere to health and nutrition advice was possible in this study, but further studies are needed to justify the use of these groupings in interventions that enhance adherence to dietary advice in the context of type 2 diabetes. Background: The foods people choose to eat can determine their health status because inadequate or excessive amounts of certain food components are associated with risk of disease. A number of factors influence the foods people choose and the amounts of these foods, such as social situations, habits, advertising and the cost of food (Delormier, et al., 2009).

▼ Humans are a fundamentally social species, and an individual may have social ties of many flavors. One social domain, mate or romantic partner choice, has been thoroughly examined, but others remain relatively understudied. How do our choice patterns vary between different social domains? In this work, I argue that although choice constraints vary between social domains (e.g. a collaborator, spouse, friend, mentor, or dodgeball teammate), the fundamental patterns of choice are ultimately similar. In this dissertation, I present studies of three different choice areas. First, I compare the search for non-social resources such as food (i.e. Optimal Foraging Theory; OFT) with that for a romantic partner to produce a theory-driven framework for mate choice as a foraging problem. Mate foragers demonstrated sensitivity to search costs as predicted by OFT, where those searching longest for their first marriage (but not cohabitations) had a decreased risk of relationship dissolution. However, periods of relationships and search also covaried in ways unexpected by OFT. Next, I tested for the presence of two common patterns in romantic partner choice: positive assortment (e.g. homophily) and the stated-revealed preference gap (inconsistency between one’s stated preferences and the actual traits of a chosen partner). I demonstrated these patterns in two social domains: academic collaborator choice and companion animal choice. I tested whether homophily was the best predictor of academic collaborations forming. I held three academic speed-networking events, a modified form of speed-dating. Pairs were assigned experimentally based on the similarity of academics’ current research and complementarity of desired vs current knowledge. These manipulations did not significantly impact collaboration rates; rather, believing a partner’s research was similar was predictive of collaboration, suggesting homophily has a nuanced role in collaboration formation. I then examined dog choice in animal shelters. Comparing the traits of a newly adopted dog to the stated preferences of their adopter, adopters perceived their dog to fulfill their stated preferences at above-chance rates. These adopter-dog pairs also exhibited weak positive assortment of personality. I summarize the implications of exapting choice mechanisms which are appropriate for one adaptive domain to novel social domains with different choice constraints.

▼ Enrollments in postsecondary education have climbed steadily for more than 20 years. However, during this same time period, students enrolled in their school of first-choice in decreasing numbers. In fact, slightly more than 55% indicated they enrolled at their first-choice college in 2013 (Eagan, Lozano, Hurtado, & Case, 2013). Thus, more students are attending institutions where they did not, at least originally, plan to attend. This raises numerous questions for students, researchers, and administrators, and served as the impetus for this study. This dissertation investigated five separate research questions regarding the connections of attending a second- or later-choice college with student persistence and grade point average (GPA). Two separate research methodologies were employed - a qualitative analysis using focus groups with students who re-enrolled at a second- or later-choice college and a quantitative analysis of CIRP – The Freshman Survey responses. The study was conducted at a mid-size, open-admissions institution in the northeast portion of the United States. The institution offers more than 125 programs leading to certificate’s, associate’s, and bachelor’s degrees in the technical fields. A qualitative analysis uncovered a fledging framework that contributes to our overall understandings of the re-enrollment decision process for students at a second- or later-choice college. Focus group responses also revealed two significant motivators of re-enrollment – barriers to leaving and expected outcomes – that were previously not discussed in mainstream research. Finally, findings raised numerous questions concerning the concept of “first choice”. A quantitative analysis, using a different sample from the same institution, found no significant statistical differences between students at a first-choice college versus those at a second- or later-choice college in fall-to-fall retention, fall-to-spring retention, and grade point average. Implications for research, theory, public policy, and practice are discussed.

To answer these questions, we model students' preferences and derive demand for each school by taking each student's feasible set of schools into account. We obtain average valuation placed on each school from market clearing conditions. Next, we investigate what drives these valuations by carefully controlling for endogeneity using a set of creative instruments suggested by our model. Finally, controlling for mean reversion bias, we look at each school's value-added. We find that students infer the quality of a school from its selectivity and past performance on the university entrance exam. However, the evidence on the value-added by schools shows that highly valued or selective schools do not have high value-added on their students' academic outcomes. CHAPTER 2 (with James Key and Kala Krishna) : Hit or Miss? Test Taking Behavior in Multiple Choice Exams This paper models and estimates students' decision to guess/attempt or skip the question in a multiple choice test in order to understand the role that student characteristics play. We do this using data from the Turkish University Entrance Exam, a highly competitive, high stakes exam. In particular, we investigate students' behavior according to their gender, predicted score and experience in the exam. Our results show that students' attitudes towards risk differ according to their gender, predicted score and exam experience: female students behave in a more risk averse manner relative to male students, and high scoring students are more risk averse. However, our counterfactual analysis suggests that although different testing regimes can lead to different score distributions, the relationships between exam score percentiles and student characteristics are relatively invariant. CHAPTER 3 (with Kala Krishna and Sergey Lychagin) : Gender Differences in College Major Choice: Evidence from a Centralized System This paper investigates factors affecting college major choice decisions of students. In an environment where college admission depends solely on students' college entrance exam score and their preferences, we found that gender difference in exam performance is an important factor, especially performance in math and science fields. Our results suggest that policies that can increase performance of female students to the level of male students can reduce the gender gap in engineering and technical science majors by half.

▼ A disproportionate number of Americans drive to work alone – at the individual state level, the figure ranges from a low of 58% in New York to 85% in Alabama. What factors explain this travel behavior and what sort of policy responses are required to effect changes? In responding to this question, we used multiple test beds and made the case for a demand side management approach to remedy parking problems particularly observed in cities central business districts. To this end, we provide an overview of travel behavior and information on policy levers by generating detailed profiles that capture the travel behavior of commuters in the Pacific states of the continental United States. Building off the result that revealed San Francisco as an outlier, we examine the efficacy of modifying parking rates, via elasticity measures, to influence the demand for parking by developing a two-stage panel data regression optimization model for managing parking in the City of San Francisco. A key contribution of the research is deriving these price elasticities of parking demand estimates using panel data methods. Coefficient estimates from the panel data regression are used to fit a linear prediction model that is the primary input to the optimization model. The balance of the thesis focuses on parking information by discussing the design and implementation of ParkPGH, a novel smart parking application that provides real time and predictive information on garage parking availability in downtown Pittsburgh. At its core is a predictive model that uses as input historical parking, weather and event data to provide estimates of available parking spaces. We provide an example of the model implementation using data from the Theater Square garage where we utilize neural network-based predictors and multiple net searches to generate both continuous and binary estimates of parking availability. Provision was made for the binary classifier given the need to reduce the possibility of Type II errors.

▼ Framing effects are said to occur when equivalent descriptions of objects or events lead to different choices. Attribute frames refer to logically equivalent descriptions along a single dimension. For example, ground beef might be described as "85% lean" or, equivalently, "15% fat". Typically, one frame is positive and one is negative and people evaluate the object more favorably when presented with the positive frame (e.g., "85% lean" beef is viewed more positively than "15% fat" beef). This phenomenon is known as a valence-consistent shift in evaluations. However, missing from the literature on attribute framing is a double frame condition, in which positive and negative frames are presented together. Because some industries (e.g. the FDA) use the double frame as the standard for communicating, understanding how these frames are evaluated has practical implications. Additionally, how double attribute frames are evaluated has theoretical implications: The most common explanation of attribute framing, the Associative Account, predicts how double attribute frames will be evaluated. Such a prediction however, has not been well tested. This dissertation systematically explores the evaluation of double attribute frames, the implications for the Associative Account, and potential alternative explanations for such evaluations. Experiments 1a - 1d examine how double attribute frames are evaluated across stimulus and procedure differences including context, quantitative information, frame descriptors, response question, and response measure. These experiments reveal a stable, consistent, and surprising pattern of results in the evaluation of double attribute frames. Experiments 2a and 2b examine methodological factors common to most attribute frame experiments that may account for the observed pattern of double attribute frame evaluation, possibly by affecting frame saliency. Finally, Experiments 3a and 3b examine whether an alternative explanation for attribute framing, the Information Leakage Account, as well as linguistic cues, can offer insight into the observed pattern of results in the evaluation of double attribute frames. Taken together, this body of work demonstrates a novel, unpredicted pattern of evaluations of attribute frames and raises questions for the standard theoretical explanation of such effects
