We propose a method to conduct uniform inference for the (optimal) value function, that is, the function that results from optimizing an objective function marginally over one of its arguments. Marginal optimization is not Hadamard…

We establish explicit data-dependent and symmetric characterizations of the subdifferential of the supremum of convex functions, formulated directly in terms of the underlying data functions. In our approach, both active and non-active…
