Inspired by @emilyriederer.bsky.social, I made some pictures for my seminar on causal inference. They are not labeled. Let's see if you can name that research design.

This paper taught me that the competition between advertisers for the most desirable ad slots is really important.

We have a beautiful literature on experiments with interference between units but what if there’s interference between experimenters? Estimands change and in a way we can understand and unpack. I hope you enjoy this one! 😊

How frequently do you meet with your students? Once a week just doesn't feel like enough when you are in the "thick" of a project.

I need to answer that email about the revision! I'm on-board, but the email got buried in my inbox.

Maybe my style of interactive debugging is archaic.

Sometimes I just want to know how many zeros and NAs there are in a field and I don't want to write a long dplyr chain to figure that out.

In reviewing dplyr code written by a PhD student, I'm reminded of how useful base R functions like summary() and str() are for inspecting data and detecting errors.

Happy to report that this paper has been accepted at Management Science! (At least that was reported in the ISMS Newsletter, but I can't find the paper on the Management Science website.

Joo and Chiong’s recent working paper provides a Gaussian approximation to the regret function that you can use with ✨any✨ asymptotically normal estimator. This means you can use the minimax-regret criteria with your favorite treatment effect estimators: diff-in-diff, ML estimators.

I know you were responding to @blasimon.bsky.social, but wanted to chime in to say I agree they are very strong parametric assumptions. We tried to spell that out as clearly as we could.

To help marketing reviewers and editors understand the untestable assumptions of causal inference methods, Dominik Papies, Peter Ebbes and I wrote this "menu" as part of our chapter on "Endogeneity and Causal Inference in Marketing". (Preprint: dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn...)
