We consider testing the null hypothesis that two parameters $({\mu}_1, {\mu}_2)$ have the same sign, assuming that (asymptotically) normal estimators are available.

In this paper, we provide a consistent estimator for a theoretical fairness-accuracy frontier put forward by Liang, Lu and Mu (2023) and propose inference methods to test hypotheses that have received much attention in the fairness literature, such as (i) whether fully excluding a covariate from use in training the algorithm is optimal and (ii) whether there are less discriminatory alternatives to an existing algorithm.

This paper proposes an information-based inference method for partially identified parameters in incomplete models that is valid both when the model is correctly specified and when it is misspecified.

We provide sufficient conditions for semi-nonparametric point identification of a mixture model of decision making under risk, when agents make choices in multiple lines of insurance coverage (contexts) by purchasing a bundle.

As a consequence of missing data on tests for infection and imperfect accuracy of tests, reported rates of population infection by the SARS CoV-2 virus are lower than actual rates of infection.

The literature on stochastic programming typically restricts attention to problems that fulfill constraint qualifications.

We then apply our theoretical findings to learn about households' risk preferences and choice sets from data on their deductible choices in auto collision insurance.

This paper is concerned with learning decision makers' preferences using data on observed choices from a finite set of risky alternatives.
