The purpose of this research is to determine if college athletes at UNC are at risk for cavities. Because college athletes have specific diets and busy schedules, they may not know they are consuming foods that increase their risk for cavities. By using an assessment tool that is used to measure cavities risk, CAMBRA, we can survey the athletes diet and oral hygiene choices.

In this project we are interested in how reputations affect international cooperation. In particular, we are interested in studying how the cost of cooperation changes for countries who fail to uphold their international commitments. We anticipate that this happens via two mechanisms. The first is direct: a change in beliefs about the state's reliability in the eyes of other countries. The second is indirect: a concern that failing to punish a state for non-cooperative behavior will invite more non-cooperative behavior in the future. States, we suspect, are thus concerned with developing a reputation for tolerating non-cooperative behavior. We use survey experiments on the US public and elites to study these questions.
