    How Personally Relevant Cases of COVID-19 Influence Individuals’ Level of Concern towards the Virus
    (2021-04-05) Nicklas, Timothy J
    This paper presents the findings of a statistical analysis exploring the ways in which personally relevant cases of COVID-19 influence an individual's level of concern towards the virus. The analysis makes use of public opinion data collected throughout the pandemic by a market research company called Ipsos. This study conducts an OLS regression analysis using three different samples of data from three distinct periods of time during the pandemic. The paper addresses each component of the study's deductive approach, outlining everything from the initial hypothesis to the conclusions and broader implications. Ultimately, this study does show evidence that an individual's personal experience with COVID-19 influences their attitudes towards the virus. This is consistent with the findings of previous psychological research that has explored how personally salient information affects humans' attitudes and beliefs.

    The Middle-Class: Shouldering the Burden of Corporate Tax Havens and the Encumberment of Economic Globlization
    (2019-02-26) Poole, Katherine
    The purpose of this paper is to examine the ways in which corporate tax evasion and other vehicles of economic globalization may infringe upon the prosperity of the middle class. Corporate tax evasion has increasingly taken form in offshore financial centers, allowing wealthy individuals and corporations to engage in tax evasion, resulting in substantial losses in government tax revenues. While this loss is being compensated for by increased taxes upon the middle class, this demographic is also suffering from the slashing of programs and state-sponsored benefits due, in part, to the pervasive losses in government revenue. After exploring the effects of offshore financial centers and economic globalization on national prosperity, I will evaluate counter movements to the phenomenon as well as the legislative response designed to quell its implications, ultimately suggesting a global reform effort for the purpose of middle-class liberalization and increasing economics egalitarianism.

    The Rationality of Fair Division as an Equilibrium Outcome in the Ultimatum Game
    (2017-11-10) Buley, Taylor W
    Economic man is self-interested and rational. But in practice, humans often act irrationally and sacrifice their own self-interest for the benefit or detriment of another’s outcome. Rooted in the same fundamental economic principles, is formal game theory, then, a wash? This paper sets out to bring together evidence from recent discussion in behavioral and evolutionary game theory in an attempt to rationalize fair division as a short run equilibrium strategy played by self-interested and rational human beings in the ultimatum game.
