Peer effect analysis with latent processes
Vincent Starck
I study peer effects that arise from irreversible decisions in the absence of a standard social equilibrium. I model a latent sequence of decisions in continuous time and obtain a…
Optimally-Transported Generalized Method of Moments
Susanne Schennach, Vincent Starck
We propose a novel optimal transport-based version of the Generalized Method of Moment (GMM). Instead of handling overidentification by reweighting the data to satisfy the moment c…
Estimation of Independent Component Analysis Systems
Vincent Starck
Although approaches to Independent Component Analysis (ICA) based on characteristic function seem theoretically elegant, they may suffer from implementational challenges because of…
Using spatial modeling to address covariate measurement error
Susanne M. Schennach, Vincent Starck
We propose a new estimation methodology to address the presence of covariate measurement error by exploiting the availability of spatial data. The approach uses neighboring observa…
Improving control over unobservables with network data
Vincent Starck
This paper develops a method to conduct causal inference in the presence of unobserved confounders by leveraging networks with homophily, a frequently observed tendency to form edg…
