On Tuesday, April 23, three senior students presented their senior thesis research to faculty members and other members of our community at the Reese Room in the Smith House.
Libby Geisler presented work that explores which athletes are at the highest risk of doping. In particular, her thesis investigates how demographic factors may interact with incentives to cheat differentially across genders in the context of elite long-distance runners. Professor Brianna Halladay was her thesis advisor.
Alfred Zhou presented work investigating the connection between live-streaming and e-commerce. His study uses consumer-level data and structural regression techniques to identify which factors influence consumers’ purchase intentions. Professor Mark Stater advised this thesis.
Sab Clumeck presented work investigating the connection between inflation and corporate profitability. Her work explores this in the context of Germany after the COVID-19 pandemic and extends the work of Weber and Wasner (2023). Professor Ibrahim Shikaki advised this thesis.
