Cory McCartan, Robin Fisher, Jacob Goldin +2
The estimation of racial disparities in various fields is often hampered by the lack of individual-level racial information. In many cases, the law prohibits the collection of such…
Entropy Regularization for Population Estimation
Ben Chugg, Peter Henderson, Jacob Goldin +1
Entropy regularization is known to improve exploration in sequential decision-making problems. We show that this same mechanism can also lead to nearly unbiased and lower-variance…
Forecasting Algorithms for Causal Inference with Panel Data
Jacob Goldin, Julian Nyarko, Justin Young
Conducting causal inference with panel data is a core challenge in social science research. We adapt a deep neural architecture for time series forecasting (the N-BEATS algorithm)…
Algorithmic Fairness and Vertical Equity: Income Fairness with IRS Tax Audit Models
Emily Black, Hadi Elzayn, Alexandra Chouldechova +2
This study examines issues of algorithmic fairness in the context of systems that inform tax audit selection by the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS). While the field of…
Integrating Reward Maximization and Population Estimation: Sequential Decision-Making for Internal Revenue Service Audit Selection
