Publication Why Should We Care About The Gender Difference in Classroom Participation?(2017-11-14) Nayee, BinaIt has been commonly understood and empirically demonstrated that co-ed undergraduate and graduate classrooms tend to derive greater male class participation from course discussions than from female students. Despite their equal ability to contribute substantial comments toward course topics female students still do so less frequently. In this paper, I present a normative argument for why we should care about this occurrence because of its impact on facets of a woman’s personal and professional development.Publication Letter from the Editors(2017-11-14) Periwal, Stuti; Ran, JingPublication Supreme Court Decision-Making: An Empirical Analysis of 2013 Certiorari-Granting(2017-11-14) Gersten, SamPublication Teacher Attitudes Towards Performance-Based Compensation Reform: A Case Study of the Aldine School District(2017-11-14) Gould, NataliePublication An Analysis of the Effect of Airline Mergers on Airfares: A Case Study of Delta-Northwest and Continental-United(2017-11-14) Grunfeld, AviIn this paper I analyze the effects of the mergers between Delta-Northwest and Continental-United on airfares. I use data from before the announcement of the mergers to model prices and then forecast what prices would have been after the mergers had the mergers not occurred. By comparing the actual observed fares and the predicted fares, I find that fares are lower than predicted during the periods of the mergers’ announcements and higher than predicted afterwards. Overall, fares after the announcement of the merger are higher than predicted, and market power effects from the merger dominate efficiency gains. However, I find that several variables do not have the effect on airfares that one would expect.
