Yuhei Miyauchi: Spatial Production Networks
341 Eggers Hall
This paper provides a theory and empirical evidence of how production networks are organized in space and how they shape the spatial distribution of economic activity. Consistent with stylized facts from administrative firm-to-firm transaction-level data from Chile, the authors model firms’ decision of forming a network of supplier and buyer relationships depending on their productivity and geographic location. By aggregating these decisions at the regional level, the authors provide a tractable characterization of the positive and normative properties of the general equilibrium. The authors calibrate the model to the observed domestic and international trade patterns and to the impacts of international trade shocks on domestic production networks in Chile. Counterfactual simulations of international trade shocks and transportation infrastructure reveal strong endogenous responses in the domestic production network, which significantly contribute to the heterogeneous welfare effects depending on the regions’ exposure to the domestic and global production network.

Conversations in Conflict Studies featuring Michael Dunaway
Virtual event via Zoom
Several academic professional societies have committed themselves to conducting research with Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC) communities in an ethical manner. However, they do not address what that research looks like or how research can be enriched through an ethical research approach. This presentation serves as a foundation for researchers collaborating with BIPOC communities to think about their research in a way that can empower those communities while conducting innovative research. Michael Dunaway is a Future Professors Postdoc in the Sociology Department at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School. He earned his Ph.D. from Cornell's Department of Natural Resources and the Environment in 2020, where his research focus was on Indigenous energy sovereignty. His current research focuses on validating his doctoral research which examined ways that Native American tribes can assess which renewable energy technologies are most appropriate for their reservation.

Frank Smith: Technology Hype and International Security
341 Eggers Hall
Quantum computers. Cyber bombs. Artificial intelligence and killer robots. These technologies are often described as revolutionary innovations that will disrupt modern warfare. Granted, hyperbole is also contested as exaggerated and inaccurate. Yet the effects of technology hype on international security are largely unexamined. In this paper, I explain how discourse that evokes exceptional expectations about future technologies can influence international security, regardless of whether the hype is accurate or not. To show how, I extend the logic of offense-defense theory, technological opportunism, and technological symbolism, particularly as they relate to preventive war, arms races, and secrecy. I also examine empirical evidence about hype over quantum technologies, military cyber, and artificial intelligence. I find that this discourse fuels international conflict more than cooperation. Not all technology hype is accepted by audiences in the national security community, but accepted hype tends to be destabilizing.
