Planetary system architectures with low-mass inner planets: Direct imaging exploration of mature systems beyond 1 au
Celia Desgrange, Julien Milli, Gael Chauvin +20
The discovery of planets orbiting at less than 1 au from their host star and less massive than Saturn in various exoplanetary systems revolutionized our theories of planetary forma…
Monetary Policy and Firm Dynamics
Matthew Read
Do firm dynamics matter for the transmission of monetary policy? Empirically, the startup rate declines following a monetary contraction, while the exit rate increases, both of whi…
Parsimonious Dataset Construction for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Structure Segmentation
Yuning Zhou, Henry Badgery, Matthew Read +2
Labeling has always been expensive in the medical context, which has hindered related deep learning application. Our work introduces active learning in surgical video frame selecti…
Identification and Inference Under Narrative Restrictions
Raffaella Giacomini, Toru Kitagawa, Matthew Read
We consider structural vector autoregressions subject to 'narrative restrictions', which are inequality restrictions on functions of the structural shocks in specific periods. Thes…
Fast Posterior Sampling in Tightly Identified SVARs Using 'Soft' Sign Restrictions
Matthew Read, Dan Zhu
We propose algorithms for conducting Bayesian inference in structural vector autoregressions identified using sign restrictions. The key feature of our approach is a sampling step…
Algorithms for Inference in SVARs Identified with Sign and Zero Restrictions
Matthew Read
I develop algorithms to facilitate Bayesian inference in structural vector autoregressions that are set-identified with sign and zero restrictions by showing that the system of res…
