Organisational Behaviour & Human Resources Research Seminar
Area Administration
While the work most people do today is, in many ways, easier and more comfortable than it was for previous generations, our day-to-day experience of the work environment can feel surprisingly difficult. In this presentation, I share three papers that each explore an intervention designed to help employees feel better—and work better—over the course of the workday. The first paper introduces a psychological intervention aimed at reducing work-related rumination during non-work hours. The second presents a physiological intervention designed to ease work-related anxiety. The third examines a technology-based intervention intended to smooth everyday social interactions at work. Together, these papers offer a range of approaches that can help employees thrive at work, without requiring changes to the work itself or to the broader work environment.

Finance Research Seminar
Area Administration
We study how resolving local land-use uncertainty affects household reinvestment. Using a nationwide panel linking single-family properties to newly established conservation easements, we compare properties near easement boundaries to similar properties farther away. An event-study design with property and easement-by-year fixed effects reveals that properties within 100 meters of a newly formed easement experience a 1.5--2\% increase in assessed improvement value relative to properties 100--500 meters away, with effects attenuating with distance. This is mirrored by real investment behavior: proximate properties are about 1.6 percentage points more likely to exhibit changes in living area. Our findings constitute evidence for environmental certainty as a key driver of homeowner investment and indicate local spillovers from conservation.
