We provide a justification for why, and when, endogeneity will not cause bias in the interpretation of the coefficients in a regression model. This technique can be a viable alternative to, or even used alongside, the instrumental variable…
A common goal in observational research is to estimate marginal causal effects in the presence of confounding variables. One solution to this problem is to use the covariate distribution to weight the outcomes such that the data appear…
Instrumental variables estimation has gained considerable traction in recent decades as a tool for causal inference, particularly amongst empirical researchers. This paper makes three contributions. First, we provide a detailed theoretical…
In an earlier work made by the first author with J. Turi (Degenerate Dirichlet Problems Related to the Invariant Measure of Elasto-Plastic Oscillators, AMO, 2008), the solution of a stochastic variational inequality modeling an…
The instrumental variable method is widely used in the health and social sciences for identification and estimation of causal effects in the presence of potentially unmeasured confounding. In order to improve efficiency, multiple…

Discussion of "Bayesian Models and Methods in Public Policy and Government Settings" by S. E. Fienberg [arXiv:1108.2177]
Optimal statistical decisions should transcend the language used to describe them. Yet, how do we guarantee that the choice of coordinates - the parameterisation of an optimisation problem - does not subtly dictate the solution? This paper…
Complex systems can be modelled at various levels of detail. Ideally, causal models of the same system should be consistent with one another in the sense that they agree in their predictions of the effects of interventions. We formalise…
This is a reply to the comment from E. Amselem et al. on our paper (Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 150401 (2012), arXiv:1207.0059).
Consider a parabolic SPDE \[ \partial_t u = \Delta u + \sigma(u)\eta, \] on $(0\,,\infty)\times\mathbb{R}^d$, where $\eta$ is a centered, generalized Gaussian noise with $\text{Cov}[\eta(t\,,x)\,,\eta(s\,,y)]=\delta_0(t-s)\Lambda(x-y)$ for…
Smooth linear statistics of random permutation matrices, sampled under a general Ewens distribution, exhibit an interesting non-universality phenomenon. Though they have bounded variance, their fluctuations are asymptotically non-Gaussian…
A new method is proposed to explore sources of cross-site impact variance in multi-site trials of social interventions. With this approach, aggregate reports from participants in the treatment arm about the treatment experience are used to…
Since the pioneering work of Gerhard Gruss dating back to 1935, Gruss's inequality and, more generally, Gruss-type bounds for covariances have fascinated researchers and found numerous applications in areas such as economics, insurance,…
A famous result going back to Eric Kostlan states that the moduli of the eigenvalues of random normal matrices with radial potential are independent yet non identically distributed. This phenomenon is at the heart of the asymptotic analysis…
Algorithmic bias is of increasing concern, both to the research community, and society at large. Bias in AI is more abstract and unintuitive than traditional forms of discrimination and can be more difficult to detect and mitigate. A clear…
Based on a combination of insights afforded by Rainer Picard and Serge Nicaise, we extend a set of abstract piezo-electromagnetic impedance boundary conditions. We achieve this by accommodating for the influence of heat with the inclusion…
An inverse problem of identifying locations and certain properties of small dielectric inhomogeneities in a homogeneous background medium from boundary measurements on a part of the boundary is studied. Using as weights particular…
This paper explores some sufficient conditions for the enhanced solvability of strong vector equilibrium problems, which can be established via a variational approach. Enhanced solvability here means existence of solutions, which are strong…
We investigate, in a fairly general setting, the limit of large volume equilibrium Gibbs measures for elasticity type Hamiltonians with clamped boundary conditions. The existence of a quasiconvex free energy, forming the large deviations…
