- Message-ID: <CAP85Z8x4M5mpLYH6ft0_-ibGF6xDq-aYVmmb=0Dv+hr_Lyb4Nw@mail.gmail.com>
- Dear all,
- Please join us for the Applied Statistics Workshop (Gov 3009) this
- Wednesday, April 4 from 12.00 - 1.30 pm in CGIS Knafel Room 354. Dany
- Bahar<http://scholar.harvard.edu/dbaharc/content/dany-bahar-0>,
- a Ph.D. Candidate in Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School, will give
- a presentation entitled "International Knowledge Diffusion and the
- Comparative Advantage of Nations". As always, a light lunch will be
- provided.
- Abstract:
- > In this paper we document that the probability that a product is added to
- > a country's export basket is, on average, 65% larger if a neighboring
- > country is a successful exporter of that same product. We interpret our
- > result as evidence of international intra-industry knowledge diffusion. Our
- > results are consistent with the overall consensus in the literature on
- > technology spillovers: diffusion is stronger at shorter distances; is
- > weaker for more knowledge-intensive products; and has become faster over
- > time.
- This is joint work with Ricardo Hausmann and Cesar Hidalgo.
- An up-to-date schedule for the workshop is available at
- http://www.iq.harvard.edu/events/node/1208.

- Dear all,
- Please join us for the Applied Statistics Workshop (Gov 3009) this
- Wednesday, April 11 from 12.00 - 1.30 pm in CGIS Knafel Room 354. Adam
- Glynn, an Associate Professor in the Department of Government at Harvard
- University, will give a presentation entitled "Using Post-Treatment
- Variables to Establish Upper Bounds on Causal Effects: Assessing Executive
- Selection Procedures in New Democracies". As always, a light lunch will be
- provided.
- Abstract:
- > In this paper we propose an adjustment based on post-treatment variables
- > for some standard estimators of the average treatment effect on the
- > treated. Under relatively weak conditions, this adjusted estimator will
- > provide an upper bound for the effect and in some cases lower bounds on
- > p-values. Additionally, this approach does not place a restriction on the
- > outcome variable and allows for multiple mechanisms by which the treatment
- > has an effect on the outcome. We also demonstrate that this adjustment will
- > reduce the estimated effect in a wide variety of circumstances, and
- > therefore, when the assumptions for the adjusted estimator are preferable
- > to the assumptions for the unadjusted estimator, the adjustment can be used
- > as a robustness check. This method is illustrated with an assessment of the
- > effects of using plurality rules for the first multi-party presidential
- > elections in third wave of democracy in sub-Saharan Africa.

- Dear all,
- Please join us for the Applied Statistics Workshop (Gov 3009) this
- Wednesday, April 18 from 12.00 - 1.30 pm in CGIS Knafel Room 354. Omar
- Wasow<http://www.omarwasow.com/>,
- a Ph.D. candidate from the Department of Government and the Department of
- African and African American Studies at Harvard University, will give a
- presentation entitled "Violence and Voting: Did the 1960s Urban Riots
- Reshape American Politics?". As always, a light lunch will be provided.
- Abstract:
- Between 1964 and 1971, more than 750 riots flared up in black neighborhoods
- > across the United States. Scholarship on how the American polity respond to
- > these violent protests is contested. Some scholars argue that urban riots
- > produced a conservative ``backlash'' among white voters, while other
- > scholars find little or no effect. Using a measure that incorporates the
- > location, timing and severity of urban riots between 1964 and 1971, I
- > examine whether increased exposure to urban riots is associated with
- > decreased support for the Democratic party. In the 1964, 1968 and 1972
- > presidential elections, I find a strong negative relationship between
- > exposure to civil unrest and the county-level Democratic vote share. I find
- > a similar negative relationship between exposure to riots and Democratic
- > vote share in congressional elections between 1968 and 1972. Finally, I
- > find that in counterfactual scenarios of fewer riots the Democratic
- > presidential nominee, Hubert Humphrey, would have beaten the Republican
- > nominee, Richard Nixon, in the 1968 election. As African Americans were
- > strongly identified with the Democratic party in this time period, my
- > results suggest that, in at least some contexts, political violence by a
- > minority group may contribute to a backlash among segments of the mass
- > electorate and encourage outcomes directly at odds with the preferences of
- > the protestors.

- April 25
- Message-ID: <CAP85Z8zh=_och1t+AA2WCCHW2uXK1w0UYf8qp3AYukaPy64DQw@mail.gmail.com>
- Dear all,
- Please join us for the final session of the Applied Statistics Workshop
- (Gov 3009) this semester on Wednesday, April 25 from 12.00 - 1.30 pm in
- CGIS Knafel Room 354. Felix Elwert, Assistant Professor in the Department
- of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, will give a
- presentation entitled "Endogenous Selection". As always, a light lunch will
- be provided.
- Abstract:
- > Selection bias is a central problem for causal inference in the social
- > sciences. Quite how central a problem it is, however, is often obscured by
- > ambiguous terminology, needlessly technical presentations, and narrow rules
- > of thumb. This paper uses directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) to advance a
- > precise yet intuitive global definition of endogenous selection bias and
- > argue its theoretical and practical centrality for causal inference. The
- > paper clarifies the fundamental structural difference between confounding
- > and endogenous selection, shows that nearly all non-parametric
- > identification problems relate to either confounding or endogenous
- > selection, and argues that the problem of endogenous selection is
- > indifferent to timing. Perhaps most importantly, we illustrate the
- > importance of endogenous selection bias with numerous and varied examples
- > from empirical social research.
