Learning from each other: causal inference and American political development

Learning From Each Other: Creativity in East Asian and American Education

Educational systems grow from cultural expectations and ideologies. Eastern and Western educational systems are as vastly different as the cultures they spring from and are reflective of the strengths and weaknesses of those cultures. First, strengths and limitations of East Asian education are discussed. Second, strengths and limitations of American education are discussed. Finally, some sugge...

The Statistics of Causal Inference: The View from Political Methodology

Many areas of political science focus on causal questions. Evidence from statistical analyses are often used to make the case for causal relationships. While statistical evidence can help establish causal relationships, it can also provide strong evidence of causality where none exists. In this essay, I provide an overview of the statistics of causal inference. Instead of focusing on statistica...

Deep Learning for Causal Inference

In this paper, we propose the use of deep learning techniques in econometrics, specifically for causal inference and for estimating individual as well as average treatment effects. The contribution of this paper is twofold: 1.For generalized neighbor matching to estimate individual and average treatment effects, we analyze the use of autoencoders for dimensionality reduction while maintaining t...
