Data-driven Policy Learning for a Continuous Treatment

no code implementations4 Feb 2024 Chunrong Ai, Yue Fang, Haitian Xie

This paper studies policy learning under the condition of unconfoundedness with a continuous treatment variable.

Grenander-type Density Estimation under Myerson Regularity

no code implementations15 May 2023 Haitian Xie

This study presents a novel approach to the density estimation of private values from second-price auctions, diverging from the conventional use of smoothing-based estimators.

Employer Reputation and the Labor Market: Evidence from Glassdoor.com and Dice.com

no code implementations4 May 2023 Ke, MA, Sophie Yanying Sheng, Haitian Xie

We find that displayed employer reputation affects an employer's ability to attract workers, especially when the displayed rating is "sticky."

Information-theoretic limitations of data-based price discrimination

no code implementations27 Apr 2022 Haitian Xie, Ying Zhu, Denis Shishkin

The second set of results proposes the $K$-markets empirical revenue maximization (ERM) strategy and shows that the $K$-markets ERM and the uniform ERM strategies achieve the optimal rate of convergence in revenue to that generated by their respective true-distribution 3PD and uniform pricing optima.

Nonlinear and Nonseparable Structural Functions in Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity Designs

no code implementations18 Apr 2022 Haitian Xie

This study examines the identification and estimation of the structural function in fuzzy RD designs with a continuous treatment variable.

Personalized Subsidy Rules

no code implementations28 Feb 2022 Yu-Chang Chen, Haitian Xie

When there is positive selection, that is, when individuals with higher returns are more likely to select the encouraged behavior, the optimal subsidy rule achieves the first-best welfare, which is the optimal welfare if a policy-maker can observe individuals' private information.

Uniform Convergence Results for the Local Linear Regression Estimation of the Conditional Distribution

no code implementations16 Dec 2021 Haitian Xie

This paper examines the local linear regression (LLR) estimate of the conditional distribution function $F(y|x)$.

Strength in Numbers: Robust Mechanisms for Public Goods with Many Agents

no code implementations7 Jan 2021 Jin Xi, Haitian Xie

We show that when the cost of provision grows slower than the $\sqrt{n}$-rate, the AMT mechanisms are both eventually ex-ante budget balanced and asymptotically efficient.

Finite-Sample Average Bid Auction

no code implementations24 Aug 2020 Haitian Xie

An adaptive average bid estimator is developed under this idea, and it has the same asymptotic properties as the empirical Myerson estimator.

Global Representation of the Conditional LATE Model: A Separability Result

no code implementations16 Jul 2020 Yu-Chang Chen, Haitian Xie

We find that if the directions of the monotonicity condition are the same across all values of the conditioning covariate, which is often assumed in the literature, then the treatment choice equation has to satisfy a separability condition between the instrument and the covariate.

Efficient and Robust Estimation of the Generalized LATE Model

no code implementations19 Jan 2020 Haitian Xie

This paper studies the estimation of causal parameters in the generalized local average treatment effect (GLATE) model, a generalization of the classical LATE model encompassing multi-valued treatment and instrument.
