Challenges of Inference with Spillovers, Diffusion, and Interference

Thu, September 5, 10:00 to 11:30am, Pennsylvania Convention Center (PCC), 113A

Session Submission Type: Created Panel

Session Description

This panel focuses on overcoming challenges in causal and descriptive inference when units affect other units. The papers collectively advance the methodological frontier by addressing how social ties and spatial spillovers complicate issues of measurement and the estimation of treatment effects. They feature approaches that study information diffusion over social networks, featuring re-randomization, new experimental designs, and novel machine learning techniques that measure and capture effects of group and individual interactions.
