False perspectives on human language: why statistics needs linguistics
A sharp tension exists about the nature of human language between two opposite parties: those who believe that statistical surface distributions, in particular using measures like surprisal, provide a better understanding of language processing, vs. those who believe that discrete hierarchical structures implementing linguistic information such as syntactic ones are a better tool.
The welfare effects of nonlinear health dynamics
We generate a continuous measure of health to estimate a non-parametric model of health dynamics, showing that adverse health shocks are highly persistent when suffered by people in poor health.
Spatial-SIR with Network Structure and Behavior: Lockdown Rules and the Lucas Critique
We introduce a model of the diffusion of an epidemic with demographically heterogeneous agents interacting socially on a spatially structured network.
Learning Epidemiology by Doing: The Empirical Implications of a Spatial-SIR Model with Behavioral Responses
We simulate a spatial behavioral model of the diffusion of an infection to understand the role of geographic characteristics: the number and distribution of outbreaks, population size, density, and agents' movements.
LATE for History
In Historical Economics, Persistence studies document the persistence of some historical phenomenon or leverage this persistence to identify causal relationships of interest in the present.
Exclusion of Extreme Jurors and Minority Representation: The Effect of Jury Selection Procedures
We compare two jury selection procedures meant to safeguard against the inclusion of biased jurors that are perceived as causing minorities to be under-represented.
Annotating the MASC Corpus with BabelNet
Finally, we estimate the quality of our annotations using both manually-tagged named entities and word senses, obtaining an accuracy of roughly 70{\%} for both named entities and word sense annotations.
Entity Linking meets Word Sense Disambiguation: a Unified Approach
