The Effect of Financial Literacy on Gender Differences in Wealth
Creators: name: Mabe, Lizzie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: This paper examines the effect of financial literacy on wealth by gender. There is a well-documented gap between men’s and women’s wealth at retirement that persists when controlling for income, likely due to differences in investment behavior. Women have been proven to be less financially literate on average than men, despite having higher levels of education. It has also been shown that financial literacy has a strong positive impact on wealth. I am researching the extent to which this difference in financial literacy affects the gender difference in investment choices, thus impacting the wealth gap. I use the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth from 1979 to estimate how gender and financial literacy affect wealth. This paper finds that a woman’s wealth increases less with an increase in financial literacy than a man’s. Additionally, women are put at a further disadvantage by the interaction between risk tolerance and financial literacy, which is positively correlated with wealth. Understanding that financial literacy contributes to gender gaps in wealth could encourage women to learn more about finances and take more financial risks to ultimately help close this gap in wealth.

The Impact of Investment on Competition: Evidence from Telecommunications
Creators: name: Smith, Brady
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: In this thesis, I research how competition changes with changing technology with data from the internet service industry. Using data collected by web scraping from both Sparklight and CenturyLink, I examine the interaction between these firms in Boise and Meridian, Idaho. I construct a measure of fiber prevalence at each household by calculating a weighted average of a binary variable for whether or not each of the surrounding households has fiber access from CenturyLink. I then use this measure to predict the offer made to each household by Sparklight, through logistic regression, finding that both having fiber yourself and living in an area with lots of fiber make it more likely that you receive a cheaper offer from Sparklight, the firm which competes with CenturyLink’s fiber network. I interpret this as an external benefit of fiber, adding another benefit of fiber internet to the existing literature.

Competition and Labor Market Discrimination: A Case Study of European Football
Creators: name: Rotundo, Nico
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: In this paper, I test the hypothesis that product market competition and labor market discrimination share an inverse relationship. I analyze European football data from 2004-2021 and consider this relationship from the perspective of region-based discrimination. I use increases in league-collective broadcasting deal values as a proxy for increases in competition. I use the transfer value of players as a proxy for wage. Using the lagged value of broadcasting deals as an instrument, I establish a causal, inverse link between competition and discrimination. As collective broadcasting deal values increase, the difference in the average transfer value between players from different regions decreases.
The Impact of Vertical Integration on Financial Performance in Rural Hospitals
Creators: name: Laura Bozovich
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: The effect of vertical integration on hospitals has been receiving much attention from researchers and policy makers alike. Empirical evidence of the impact of affiliation on the financial performance of rural hospitals is mixed and no consensus has been reached. I compare rural hospitals' quality and financial performance before and after a merger between 2011-2018. Using lagged distance to the nearest merger and number of mergers in a zip code as instruments for affiliated hospitals, I am able to identify the causal effect of interest. I estimate an instrumental fixed effects model using panel data on rural hospitals over 8 years. I find that total margin, operating margin, cash flow margin, uncompensated care, Medicaid outpatient charges, days cash on hand, and days in net accounts receivable are all significantly affected by system affiliation. Because of this, affiliated hospitals experience an increase in their ability to operate feasibly for almost all measures of financial stability. Rural hospitals that struggle to keep their doors open may consider system affiliation as a method for continued and improved operation.

SOLID ROCKET MOTOR

description: Transient phases during Solid Rocket Motors (SRM) operating have to be studied with a specific care and modelled with accuracy. Considering these events, ignition is a critical phase: pressure oscillations can induce strong mechanical stresses into the engine structure. In the frame of studies funded by the French ministry of Defence (DGA) andin cooperation with Onera, ArianeGroup has developed a dedicated approach based on experimental characterisations and numerical simulations to better understand and master physical phenomena involved in the ignition of SRMs. This paper presents the different steps required to simulate the ignitionof asmall scale study motor. The first step consists in characterising the thermal properties of the propellant. In this purpose, density, thermal conductivity and calorific capacity are assessed at room temperature at one atmosphere. This stage is essential for any further modelling subsequent of the thermal behaviour of the solid propellant. The second stepregards the determination of the ignition time for asmall sample of propellant subjected to a heat flux. Such behaviour is afterwards numerically reproduced to calibrate the tested ignition model. This model, developed by Onera, is based on the resolution of the heat equations in the solid material with a specific treatment of the energy balance on the surface to take into account of the propellant ignition. The simplest approach consists in considering aArrhenius law to model change of the propellant at the surface.More complex models consider a more detailed description of the flame at the propellant surface. Whatever the selected model, several parametershave to be defined to correctly simulate the ignition delays that were experimentally obtained.To validate the selected parameters, a small-scale experimentation was designed. A sample of propellant is ignited in its centre by a laser. The digital simulation of the flame spreading allows validating the selected model during the propellant ignition phase. The next step consists in the modelling of the igniter. A lab-scale igniter is used to generate hot gas plume. An inert propellant grain is manufactured in order to measure the convective and radiative heat fluxes at the propellant surface. To achieve such a goal, Onera designed and manufactures specific devices. Once again, the numerical model is tested with regard to the measured heat flux. A good agreement is obtained. This validates the proposed igniter model and the corresponding plume. The last stage considers the application of the model to the ignition of a small-scale study motor. This validates the whole modelling before application to the study of the full scale engine ignition. To illustrate the original methodology developed by ArianeGroup, an application to an aluminized composite propellant is proposed.

description: We investigate the thermodynamics of simple (non-interacting) transport models beyond the scope of weak coupling. For a single fermionic or bosonic level -- tunnel-coupled to two reservoirs -- exact expressions for the stationary matter and energy current are derived from the solutions of the Heisenberg equations of motion. The positivity of the steady-state entropy production rate is demonstrated explicitly. Finally, for a configuration in which particles are pumped upwards in chemical potential by a downward temperature gradient, we demonstrate that the thermodynamic efficiency of this process decreases when the coupling strength between system and reservoirs is increased, as a direct consequence of the loss of a tight coupling between energy and matter currents.

Toxic Parenting: Unpacking Diasporic Representations of the Tyrannical Islamic Father in Popular Media
Creators: name: Nasir, Aleeshah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: In 1978 Edward Said argued that the Orient is a fabricated construction, materialized by and trapped in space and time by the West. This includes the people of this fabricated space, who are ascribed attributes that make them seem inferior to their western counterparts. This is especially
true of the ways that Muslims, Muslim immigrants in the west, and Islam have been viewed even in more recent times. Even popular media, including films, based on Pakistani Muslim immigrant stories focus on these supposed differences. In this thesis, I analyze Blinded by the
Light (2019), East is East (1999), and My Son the Fanatic (1997) and combine the analysis with interviews with Pakistani Muslim immigrants in the Triad region of North Carolina, to argue that popular media reinforces stereotypes of Muslim immigrant men. I show this by focusing on how the films represent the lack of class mobility for the immigrant fathers in these three media texts and the way they redefine success by overemphasizing community inclusion. The combination of these two things leads to the creation of the stereotype of the tyrannical Islamic father that oppresses his children, using them as tools for his own success. Throughout this thesis, I analyze these assumptions against the real-life narratives of immigrant fathers I interviewed, discussing how media impacts popular impressions of Pakistani Muslim men and how this is detrimental to the community as they navigate their newly immigrated countries. It also offers insight into the ongoing conversation of why themes and tropes are continuously being recreated, sold, and then consumed.
The Impact of a National Vaccination Campaign on Reducing COVID-19 Disease Severity in the United States

Year: 2022

description: This study investigates the impact of a national vaccination campaign on reducing severe disease associated with COVID-19 in the United States from April 2020 through February 2022. While many public health policies have contributed to slowing the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the adoption of a mass vaccination program has been notable in altering the course of the pandemic. Disease surveillance and vaccination data provided by USAFacts and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were used in predicting the impact of vaccination rates on disease outcomes. We use a correlated random effects approach to estimate the moving average of new COVID-19 deaths per 1 million people as a function of vaccination rates, the moving average of new COVID-19 cases per 1 million people, and county-specific features. This method efficiently accounts for a degree of correlation between unobservable county characteristics and main explanatory factors through including means of time-varying variables as regressors in the model. We find that the positive link between the moving average of new cases and the moving average of new deaths in the population is significantly weakened with the increase in vaccination efforts among older adults. We also find that county demographic, socioeconomic, and population health indicators are important for addressing communities that carry a disproportionate burden of disease. Overall, we demonstrate the population effectiveness of implementing a national vaccination campaign and contribute additional support for vaccines in reducing the severity of COVID-19. These findings may be used to illuminate gaps in current initiatives aimed at helping vulnerable communities deal with COVID-19 and other public health crises.
Sensitivity of Various Estimators of Average Treatment Effects to Double Misspecification

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: This paper examines various estimators of average treatment effects (ATE) and their sensitivity to double model misspecification under the assumption of unconfoundedness. The consistency of these estimators of ATE is generally associated with the specification of two models: one model for the potential outcome and the other one for the probability of being assigned to the treatment group (i.e., the propensity score). It is unknown which estimator of ATE performs systematically better when the model for the outcome and the model for the propensity score are both misspecified. In this study, we compare the six estimators of ATE under double misspecification in a simulation study and find which estimators yield the smallest errors. We find that nearest neighbor matching performs systematically better, while augmented inverse probability weighting yields the largest errors, and the two doubly robust estimators fail to improve the single regression adjustment approach. We also examine how different levels of overlap affect the biases in estimates and how sensitive the estimators are to additional functional forms in the model.

description: In this paper we propose a new approach to the description of a network of interacting processes in a traditional programming language. Special programming languages or extensions to sequential languages are usually designed to express the semantics of concurrent execution. Using libraries in C++, Java, C#, and other languages is more practical way of concurrent programming. However, this method leads to an increase in workload of a manual coding. Besides, stock compilers can not detect semantic errors related to the programming model in such libraries. The new markup language and a special technique of automatic programming based on the marked code can solve these problems. The article provides a detailed specification of the markup language without discussing its implementation details. The language is used for programming of current and prospective multi-core and many-core systems.

description: We propose a novel method of finding the classical limit of the matrix geometry. We define coherent states for a general matrix geometry described by a large-N sequence of D Hermitian matrices X_μ(μ=1,2, ..., D) and construct a corresponding classical space as a set of all coherent states. We also express various geometric objects on the classical space such as the metric, Levi-Civita connection, curvature and Poisson tensor, in terms of the matrix elements. This method provides a new class of observables in matrix models, which characterize geometric properties of matrix configurations.

Implementation and Evaluation of a Protocol to Manage Hypokalemia Among Patients Enrolled in the University of North Carolina (UNC) Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT) Program
Creators: name: Felton, Taylor
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: The University of North Carolina (UNC) Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT) Program manages patients who receive intravenous antimicrobials at home after being discharged from the acute care setting. As part of the  management process, patients’ lab values are monitored in order to ensure safety and efficacy while receiving OPAT. In 2018, the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) updated the OPAT practice guidelines to include new monitoring parameters for antibiotics including monitoring serum potassium (K+). The UNC OPAT Program implemented the new recommendations into their practice and began to notice a correlation between hypokalemia (K+ < 3.5 mEq/L) and patients experiencing antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD). However, clinician management was inconsistent and a protocol was not in place to aid in the management of hypokalemia.  
The aim of this study was to develop a hypokalemia protocol, to evaluate and manage hypokalemia in patients enrolled in the UNC OPAT Program from March 1 – December 31, 2020. Retrospective evaluation was conducted among patients who experienced hypokalemia while receiving OPAT and included severity and etiology of hypokalemia, antibiotic regimen, symptoms, and clinician management of patients reached via telephone. 
Hypokalemia occurred in 17.4% of UNC OPAT patients during the study period with mild hypokalemia (3.0 – 3.4 mEq/L) being the predominant severity with 76.7% occurrence. Clinician management of hypokalemia utilizing the new protocol consisted of dietary counseling or prescription potassium chloride (KCl) supplementation. Dietary counseling alone was utilized in managing hypokalemia in 75% of patients reached. 
Devising a hypokalemia management protocol for the UNC OPAT Program created a consistent practice among various clinicians when evaluating and managing hypokalemia in this patient population. Utilization of the protocol revealed that hypokalemia occurred at a rate similar to hospitalized patients and that dietary counseling was a sufficient management strategy for the majority of patients.

Agency Agency: Bureaucratic Discretion in EPA Litigation
Creators: name: Cain, Lucas
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022
Subjects: Environmental economics

description: This paper examines the outcomes of the EPA’s main regulatory tool, lawsuits. Using a unique and custom-made dataset of lawsuit outcomes and other explanatory variables, this analysis first describes the practice. The paper then uses Kaufman’s description of “Bureaucratic Discretion” to predict whether lawsuit outcomes will be susceptible to the preferences of a principle. This research includes a novel theoretical model describing a bureaucracy’s actions under discretion. It then investigates the concept via political influence, specifically through the Presidential administration in office contemporaneous to the suit. The findings strongly suggest that the EPA responds to political preferences – obtaining significantly lower penalties under Republican administrations than Democratic ones, and preferring regions and industries associated with the administration in power. Finally, these findings are confirmed via a robustness check that uses “lame duck” sessions to show that the EPA is responsive to changing political circumstances. Together, these findings indicate that the EPA exhibits low levels of bureaucratic discretion and is therefore highly influenced by the preferences of the administration in power.

LIQUID ROCKET ENGINE
COMBUSTION INSTABILITIES

description: The present work focuses on the the state of development of a low-order numerical tool, specifically aimed to face combustion instability problems in liquid rocket engines employing shear coaxial injectors. Particular attention is focused on that kind of injectors, since they have been identified in the literature to have a central role in the high frequencies combustion instability dynamics. That is due to the passage of acoustic waves causing cyclic propellant pockets accumulation and release. In a low-order framework, flow field is computed using an Eulerian set of equations for three species, namely oxidizer, fuel, and combustion products mixtures. In particular, the recent improvements involved the enhancement of the employed Equation of State, from the ideal one to a hybrid cubic one, in order to deal with cryogenic test cases. The hybrid EoS approach has been specifically developed to handle a mixture of ideal and real fluids, so that the typically cold oxidizer can be handled as a real fluid while the warmer species can be approximated as ideal gases. The combustion instability driving mechanism is regarded as a response function, which links acoustic waves to fuel mass flow rate oscillations, mimicking the described behavior of the coaxial injectors. In order to predict the onset of transverse instabilities while keeping the computational load as low as possible, the chamber domain is discretized as 3D, whereas each of the injector domains as 1D. The one-dimensional tool handling the injectors can also be used as standalone, for dealing with longitudinal instabilities test cases, or in order to study the behavior of the single injector of a more complex system. In the present work the most advanced results obtainable with the full 3D ideal gas model are presented, followed by the first analyses carried out with the hybrid-real fluid 1D model. The test case of interest is a cryogenic LOX/Methane engine prone to the onset of transverse instability.
Extended q-Gaussian and q-exponential distributions from Gamma random variables

description: The family of q-Gaussian and q-exponential probability densities fit the statistical behavior of diverse complex self-similar non-equilibrium systems. These distributions, independently of the underlying dynamics, can rigorously be obtained by maximizing Tsallis "non-extensive" entropy under appropriate constraints, as well as from superstatistical models. In this paper we provide an alternative and complementary scheme for deriving these objects. We show that q-Gaussian and q-exponential random variables can always be expressed as function of two statistically independent Gamma random variables with the same scale parameter. Their shape index determine the complexity q-parameter. This result also allows to define an extended family of asymmetric q-Gaussian and modified $q$-exponential densities, which reduce to the previous ones when the shape parameters are the same. Furthermore, we demonstrate that simple change of variables always allow to relate any of these distributions with a Beta stochastic variable. The extended distributions are applied in the statistical description of different complex dynamics such as log-return signals in financial markets and motion of point defects in fluid flows.

Pandemic Labor Market Flows: A Difference-In-Differences Study on State-Level Withdrawal from Unemployment Insurance
Creators: name: Deshmukh, Ekta
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: In June and July of 2021, 26 states terminated COVID-19-related unemployment insurance (UI). These states aimed to incentivize people to find employment quickly by cutting off federal emergency unemployment insurance. I have devised a difference-in-differences study to model the change in labor market flows and employment in states that kept their agreement to pay federal emergency unemployment insurance contrasted with those that terminated their agreements to pay federal emergency unemployment insurance. The policy of interest is the reinstatement of Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation Program (FPUC), which offered $300 weekly (instead of the original amount of $600) to claimants.
By using a multinomial logit model, I am able to assess nine different employment flows and determine which flows significantly changed as a result of the policy reform. The results from this paper will be useful in determining the efficacy of this policy change by examining if the policy achieved its purpose in getting people back to work. I find that the probability of finding a job rises at the expense of remaining unemployed and at the expense of leaving the labor force due to the policy change. The policy reform was indeed successful at accomplishing its task of incentivizing people to find employment. 
Economic theory predicts that removing unemployment insurance benefits will shorten the duration of unemployment spells and incentivize unemployed individuals to find jobs. The analysis conducted in this paper mirrors this theory. This paper also analyzes all employment statuses and labor market flows as opposed to focusing solely on individuals in the labor force; this allows for more in-depth analysis as well as insights on the full scope of the impact of this policy reform.

EXPLORING HELL AND HUMAN FREEDOM:  AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE PHILOSOPHY OF ETERNAL HELL
Creators: name: Giuggio, Santoro
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: This thesis investigates the philosophical work of Jerry Walls and Thomas Talbott focusing on their debate over the compatibility of universal salvation and human freedom. It assesses their differing definitions of freedom and argues against Walls' view that God cannot save all people because God will respect human freedom. An analysis of the lessons from the two scholars' debate regarding the nature of human freedom as they are relevant to secular philosophy is included.

Optical cavity resonator in an expanding universe

description: We study evolution of frequency of a standing electromagnetic (EM) wave in a resonant optical cavity placed to the expanding manifold described by the Robertson-Walker metric. One builds a local coordinate system in which spacetime is locally Minkowskian. However, due to the conformal nature of the Robertson-Walker metric the conventional transformation to the local inertial coordinates introduces ambiguity in the physical interpretation of the local time coordinate. Therefore, contrary to a common-sense expectation, a straightforward implementation of EEP alone does not allow us to decide whether atomic clocks ticks at the same rate as the clocks based on EM modes of a cavity. To resolve the ambiguity we analyzed the cavity rigidity and the oscillation of its EM modes in an expanding universe by employing the Maxwell equations. We found out that both the size of the cavity and the EM frequency experience an adiabatic drift in conformal coordinates as the universe expands. We set up the oscillation equation for the EM modes, solve it by the WKB approximation, and reduce the coordinate-dependent quantities to their counterparts measured by a local observer who counts time with atomic clock. The solution shows that there is a perfect cancellation of the adiabatic drift of cavity's frequency by the transformation to local coordinates, and the time counted by the clocks based on EM modes of cavity has the same rate as that of atomic clocks. We conclude that there should be no cosmological drift of frequency of a standing EM wave oscillating in the cavity resonator as compared to the frequency of atomic clocks. Continuous comparison of the frequency of the optical cavity resonator against that of atomic clock yields a powerful null test of the local isotropy of the Hubble expansion and the Einstein equivalence principle in cosmology.

Incarceration without Representation: Race-Based Panel Effects in Prisoner Civil Rights Litigation
Creators: name: Benzaia, Drew
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Studies have come to differing conclusions regarding the importance of racial and ethnic identity in the way that judges cast their votes. Some of those who claim that identity is a critical factor in judicial decisions have documented a panel effect, which refers to the potential for the presence of a minority judge on an appellate panel to affect the votes of their peers. This thesis seeks to investigate the role of race of the judge in decisions on the U.S. Court of Appeals, analyzing outcomes in the civil rights claims of prisoners through a logistic regression model. Ultimately, it finds no meaningful linkage between the race of a jurist and the vote that they cast. Similarly, it does not document a race-based panel effect. It does, however, find an ideological one, where having one Democratic jurist on a panel materially affects the votes of the panel’s other jurists.
