First version of this paper: November 2008. This paper is based on the first chapter of my doctoral thesis at Boston University. I owe a great debt of gratitude to Robert G. King for his constant guidance and support. The paper also benefits from discussions with Russell Cooper, Martin Cripps, Steve Davis, Piero Gottardi, Veronica Guerrieri, Peter Ireland, Bart Lipman, Lars Stole, and seminar participants at Boston University, Green Line Macro Meeting, UC-Santa Cruz, UChicago-Booth, FRB Richmond, FRB Kansas City, FRB Philidephia, Hong Kong University, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Chinese University of Hong Kong, City University of Hong Kong, European University Institute, Toulouse School of Economics and LUISS.

This topic has been neglected by the existing literature on reputation games but is potentially a central issue in actual policymaking. A nonstandard feature of this model is that a "trustworthy" government (able to pre-commit) optimally chooses a policy announcement to which it commits. Thus, investing in reputation can be achieved by announcing policy plans that are costly and in turn are unlikely to be enacted if the government were an "opportunistic" type (unable to precommit). I identify the key trade-off in determining the optimal policy plans, which is mainly influenced by the difference in the time preference across types. When a trustworthy type is sufficiently more patient than an opportunistic type, there will be substantial reputation-building by the trustworthy type in the early stages of the game, which eventually leads to full separation from the opportunistic type.

AbstractThis article examines mathematics education as both the site and object of transformation for a youth PAR project in which students researched and evaluated their urban high school in Oakland, California. These youth researchers were trained as part of a sociology course as well as a mathematics class designed to both remediate gaps in math preparation and accelerate students into higher‐order math literacy. This study differs from and extends other studies that describe mathematics as a tool for social critique. It considers youth research in and through mathematics as a more ideologically open endeavor in that youth do not simply reproduce predetermined criticisms of social inequality. Thus, this project translates extensive work in critical literacy, new media literacy, and youth participatory action research to a mathematics context.

Youth resistance has become a pressing global phenomenon, to which many educators and researchers have looked for inspiration and/or with chagrin. Although the topic of much discussion and debate, it remains dramatically under-theorized, particularly in terms of theories of change. Resistance has been a prominent concern of educational research for several decades, yet understandings of youth resistance frequently lack complexity, often seize upon convenient examples to confirm entrenched ideas about social change, and overly regulate what ""counts"" as progress.
