Much of the recent empirical IO research has been conducted in the context of relatively mature, stable (often consumer packaged goods) markets. In these markets, consumer preferences and competitive interaction are often characterized by relatively stable patterns over time.
On Sunday, March 31, 2019, five other Kenan Scholars and I took part in a high ropes course event at the UNC Outdoor Recreation Center. Not only was the physical experience an event in itself, but so was the pre-event planning process. It ended up being much harder than I expected and taught me several lessons.
It is probably not a mystery to even the most casual observer of political affairs why the historic climate, health care and tax bill signed earlier this month was dubbed the Inflation Reduction Act. Inflation is high and causing real problems for many households, and so if only Congress could legislate it away by enacting … This is not to say that the package does not deserve any enthusiasm; it is an impressive legislative feat, making significant, though imperfect, advances on health care and climate change. On the other hand, the effect it will have on inflation, its raison d’être in name, will be modest at best and occur only over time.

Monte-Carlo Integration is ubiquitous in science, engineering, finance and many other disciplines. It is well-known that quantum computing can achieve a quadratic advantage in Monte-Carlo Integration by using as a subroutine Quantum Amplitude Estimation (QAE), which is essentially a generalization of Grover Search — one of the oldest and most famous quantum algorithms. However, until recently this advantage was merely theoretical, in practice substantial overheads (associated with the need to perform arithmetic operations on the quantum computer) rendered Quantum Monte Carlo integration (QMCI) NISQ-infeasible.

A recent meta-analysis from UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School Professor Elad Sherf and co-authors examines the literature on "seeking behavior" at work – such as asking for information, feedback or help. Why does it matter and how can it be harnessed to the benefit of both employers and employees?
