Seminar: Jonathan Roth (Brown University)

Part of the Econometrics Seminar Series, hosted by Jackson Bunting Title: Evaluation of Counterfactual Policies Using Instruments (w/Michal Kolesar and Pepe Montiel Olea) Abstract: In settings with multi-valued instrument variables (IVs), such as judge leniency designs, researchers frequently report two-stage least squares (TSLS) estimates. Yet the IV monotonicity assumption needed to interpret the TSLS estimand as a local average treatment effect (LATE) is often questionable. In practice, however, researchers are often not interested in the LATE per se, but rather in the impact of some counterfactual policy that changes treatment assignment---e.g. the implementation of a quota or algorithmic recommendation that encourages judges to release more defendants. We consider what can be learned about such counterfactual policies from the data typically used to estimate TSLS. We derive computationally tractable bounds on the average outcome under the counterfactual without imposing IV monotonicity. We further… Event interval: Single day event.

Economics Prospective Student Info Session

Students who study economics learn to decode the systems that are a part of our everyday lives using models and a variety of social and economic data to analyze how decisions are made, and how limited resources are made, traded, and used. In this session, students will learn helpful information about the Department of Economics Undergraduate Program and its Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science majors. Students will also have an opportunity to meet with Department of Economics advisers, and get helpful tips on pursuing Economics as a major at the UW. This session will be offered online, via Zoom, at the following link:Join Zoom Meeting https://washington.zoom.us/j/95427263003 Meeting ID: 954 2726 3003 --- One tap mobile +12532158782,95427263003# US (Tacoma) +12063379723,95427263003# US (Seattle).

Seminar: Jonathan Dingel (Chicago Booth)

Part of the Macroeconomics and International Economics Seminars Series, Hosted by Brian Greaney Title: "Market Size and Trade in Medical Services" Abstract:  We uncover substantial interregional trade in medical services and investigate whether regional increasing returns explain it. In Medicare data, one-fifth of production involves a doctor treating a patient from another region. Larger regions produce greater quantity, quality, and variety of medical services, which they “export” to patients from elsewhere, especially smaller regions. We show that these patterns reflect scale economies: greater demand enables larger regions to improve quality, so they attract patients from elsewhere. Despite concerns about rural access, larger regions have higher marginal returns to spending. We study counterfactual policies that would lower travel costs rather than relocating production.

Seminar: Anna Bykhovskaya (Duke)

Part of the Econometrics Seminar Series, hosted by Jackson Bunting Title: High-Dimensional Canonical Correlation Analysis Abstract: Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) is a classical statistical analysis method used to find a common structure between two data sets. In econometrics it is frequently used to select common factors and perform cointegration analysis; and in finance for optimizing portfolio allocations. In the talk I will discuss high-dimensional CCA with an emphasis on the vectors that define canonical variables. I will show that when two dimensions of data grow to infinity jointly and proportionally, the classical CCA procedure for estimating those vectors fails to deliver a consistent estimate. This provides the first result on the impossibility of identification of canonical variables in the CCA procedure when all dimensions are large. As a countermeasure, I will derive the magnitude of the estimation error, which can be used in practice to assess the precision of CCA estimates. Finally, I… Event interval: Single day event.
