Gaslighting Ourselves
Creating ethical, equitable and racially-just machine learning is currently impossible for six reasons, summarized by the acronym DO-GOOD : (1) data for training is historically racially biased, (2) ownership of data is disproportionately racially tilted, (3) guidelines /ethical algorithms have been largely lacking, especially in the space of racial equity, (4) opacity of algorithm design prevents testing for racial bias, and then improvement of …
The Deadly Cost of Informal Lending
The Indian state of Punjab, which initially benefited greatly from the green revolution, has suffered from a dramatic rise in agrarian suicides for several decades. We use a carefully constructed sample of over 1,000 farmers in the epicentre, and build a three-stage model of agricultural production decisions across multiple input and multiple output choices, indebtedness from multiple sources and suicide via an IPWRA (inverse probability weighted…
Who Really Wants to be a Millionaire? Gender Differences in Game Show Contestant Behavior Under Risk
Objective. On the popular game show Who Wants to be a Millionaire men appear to average higher winnings than women. This article investigates potential reasons, including different uses of information sources (lifelines) and different perceptions of risk. Method. We analyzed the decisions and resultant winnings of 164 contestants (95 men and 69 women) over 42 episodes of the show. Results. Gender‐based tests of Kahneman and Tversky's prospect the…
A Tale of Two Seasons
Objectives. This article examines all postwar Summer and Winter Olympic Games in order to investigate the economic and political determinants of participation and medal‐winning success. Methods. Using newly compiled data, regression analysis gives intuitive results with surprisingly accurate predictions beyond the historical sample. We also estimate the rise in income per capita required to send an extra participant, and the “cost” in GDP per cap…
How the West Has Won
While it is clear that there has been a “regional inversion” in American patent activity over the past 25 years (i.e., relative rise of the Northwest and Southwest at the expense of the traditional invention hotbeds of the Northeast and Midwest), the reason is still open to speculation. Theory suggests that it can be explained by some combination of changing demographics and industrial composition. We introduce constant market share analysis, typ…
