Fisher-Schultz Lecture: Generic Machine Learning Inference on Heterogenous Treatment Effects in Randomized Experiments, with an Application to Immunization in India

Victor Chernozhukov, Mert Demirer, Esther Duflo +1

We propose strategies to estimate and make inference on key features of heterogeneous effects in randomized experiments. These key features include best linear predictors of the ef…

Using Gossips to Spread Information: Theory and Evidence from a Randomized Controlled Trial

Abhijit Banerjee, Arun G. Chandrasekhar, Esther Duflo +1

Is it possible to identify individuals who are highly central in a community without gathering any network information, simply by asking a few people? If we use people's nominees a…
