The talk initially introduces the notion of weak dependence (Doukhan & Louhichi (1999) which is an extension to Rosenblatt 1956's strong mixing definition. Mixing notions were extremely successful (see Doukhan 1994), anyway they do not cover all the reasonable time series to be considered in...

In order to identify the Average Treatment Effect (ATE) of a binary treatment on an outcome of interest, we need to impose, often implicitly, the so called Stable Unit Treatment Value Assumption (SUTVA). In fact only under SUTVA we can observe at least one potential outcome for each individual. If...

A theory of money needs a proper place for financial intermediaries. Intermediaries diversify risks and create inside money. In downturns, micro-prudent intermediaries shrink their lending activity, fire-sell assets and supply less inside money, exactly when money demand rises. The resulting Fisher...

Easy availability of stations serving alternative fuels is an obvious concern for customers considering to buy a “green” car. Yet, the supply of fuel is seldom considered when analyzing the problem of fostering the adoption of environmentally friendly vehicles. I develop and estimate a joint model...

This paper estimates the effect of globalisation on nutritional components of the diet and health outcomes using a panel dataset of 70 countries spanning 42 years (1970-2011). Our key methodological contribution is the application of the grouped fixed effects estimator developed by Bonhomme and...

Many machine learning and statistics problems are traditionally cast as convex optimization problems. A common difficulty in solving these problems is the size of the data, where there are many observations ("large n") and each of these is large ("large p"). In this setting, online algorithms such...

This paper proposes a powerful alternative to the t-test in linear regressions when the regressor of interest is not observed. We assume there are two contaminated measurements of the regressor of interest. The two corresponding measurement errors may each possess arbitrary correlation with the...
