- Description:
- This dissertation consists of three chapters that each study the interaction between government policy and real estate markets. All three chapters are connected by a broad interest in renters, landlords, and rental markets. Chapter 1 investigates the relationship between place-based policies and real estate and rental markets empirically by studying...

- Description:
- Macrophages are innate immune cells that are traditionally thought to be specialists in phagocytosis. More recent evidence suggest that macrophages reside in nearly every organ and readily adapt to local microenvironmental signals, leading to highly plastic phenotypes across and within tissues. Therefore, rather than treating it as a homogenous cell...

- Description:
- This dissertation provides an introduction to the diffraction and scattering theory for the Aharonov--Bohm Hamiltonian with one or multiple poles on $\mathbf{R}^2$. It shows the propagation of diffractive singularities of the wave equation with the magnetic Hamiltonians with singular vector potential, which is related to the so-called Aharonov--Bohm effect. Based...

- Description:
- As the interest in rational synthesis for solid-state materials accelerates, there is an urgent need to understand the design principles concealed within these reactions. In situ material synthesis provides such an avenue to not only uncover these assembling rules, but also for finding new materials even in seemingly familiar phase...

- Description:
- This dissertation leverages methodologies from computer science to understand sources of complexity in economic theory. Chapter 1 considers time complexity: how much time is needed to make a decision. Chapters 2 and 3 consider informational complexity: how much and what kind of data is needed to make a decision. I...

- Description:
- “Coalitional Aesthetics” argues that leftist literary works of the 1930s enacted bonds of solidarity across racial, linguistic, and geographic divides, modeling alternative, non-hierarchical modes of social cohesion. Building on Gramsci’s concept of the coalitional, coalitional aesthetics refers to a set of formal characteristics that insist on the specificity of the...

- Description:
- Black women performers have made, and continue to make, contributions to the U.S.-avant-garde performance canon and Black performance traditions that go largely unaccounted for in academic studies. Research has shown that across temporalities, Black women performers have mobilized experimental avant-garde aesthetics to disrupt and refuse essentialized notions of Blackness in...
