Koren Ishlach, Itzhak Ben-David, Michael Fire +1
Embedding news articles is a crucial tool for multiple fields, such as media bias detection, identifying fake news, and making news recommendations. However, existing news embeddin…
Inference in Linear Dyadic Data Models with Network Spillovers
Nathan Canen, Ko Sugiura
When using dyadic data (i.e., data indexed by pairs of units), researchers typically assume a linear model, estimate it using Ordinary Least Squares and conduct inference using ``d…
Semiparametric Conditional Factor Models in Asset Pricing
Qihui Chen, Nikolai Roussanov, Xiaoliang Wang
We introduce a simple and tractable methodology for estimating semiparametric conditional latent factor models. Our approach disentangles the roles of characteristics in capturing…
Using Satellite Imagery and Machine Learning to Estimate the Livelihood Impact of Electricity Access
Nathan Ratledge, Gabe Cadamuro, Brandon de la Cuesta +2
In many regions of the world, sparse data on key economic outcomes inhibits the development, targeting, and evaluation of public policy. We demonstrate how advancements in satellit…
Semiparametric Estimation of Treatment Effects in Randomized Experiments
Susan Athey, Peter J. Bickel, Aiyou Chen +2
We develop new semiparametric methods for estimating treatment effects. We focus on settings where the outcome distributions may be thick tailed, where treatment effects may be sma…
On the Interplay between Self-Driving Cars and Public Transportation
Nicolas Lanzetti, Maximilian Schiffer, Michael Ostrovsky +1
Cities worldwide struggle with overloaded transportation systems and their externalities. The emerging autonomous transportation technology has the potential to alleviate these iss…
