Learning under random distributional shifts

no code implementations5 Jun 2023 Kirk Bansak, Elisabeth Paulson, Dominik Rothenhäusler

Thus, we consider a class of random distribution shift models that capture arbitrary changes in the underlying covariate space, and dense, random shocks to the relationship between the covariates and the outcomes.

Leveraging the Power of Place: A Data-Driven Decision Helper to Improve the Location Decisions of Economic Immigrants

no code implementations27 Jul 2020 Jeremy Ferwerda, Nicholas Adams-Cohen, Kirk Bansak, Jennifer Fei, Duncan Lawrence, Jeremy M. Weinstein, Jens Hainmueller

Instead, they often rely on availability heuristics, which can lead to the selection of sub-optimal landing locations, lower earnings, elevated outmigration rates, and concentration in the most well-known locations.

Outcome-Driven Dynamic Refugee Assignment with Allocation Balancing

no code implementations2 Jul 2020 Kirk Bansak, Elisabeth Paulson

On this dataset, we find that the allocation balancing algorithm can achieve near-perfect balance over time with only a small loss in expected employment compared to the pure employment-maximizing algorithm.

Combining Outcome-Based and Preference-Based Matching: A Constrained Priority Mechanism

no code implementations20 Feb 2019 Avidit Acharya, Kirk Bansak, Jens Hainmueller

We introduce a constrained priority mechanism that combines outcome-based matching from machine-learning with preference-based allocation schemes common in market design.
