Misinformation due to asymmetric information sharing
On social media platforms, true and false information compete. Importantly, some messages travel much further than others, even if they concern the same topic. This fact is not reflected in models of social learning (or opinion formation) in networks. Our model fills this gap by allowing different types of information to have different decay factors and to be shared with different networks of people, incorporating asymmetries in sharing behaviors…
Standard Synthetic Control Methods
It is becoming increasingly popular in applications of standard synthetic control methods to include the entire pretreatment path of the outcome variable as economic predictors. We demonstrate both theoretically and empirically that using all outcome lags as separate predictors renders all other covariates irrelevant in such settings. This finding holds irrespective of how important these covariates are for accurately predicting posttreatment val…

The Impact of Scaling Methods on the Properties and Interpretation of Parameter Estimates in Structural Equation Models with Latent Variables
Latent variables in structural equation models do not have an observable scale. Hence, researchers resort to scaling methods, such as fixed marker, effects coding, or fixed factor, to assign scales to the latent variables. The use of such procedures results in numerically different estimates, in spite of a single underlying population model. In this paper, we provide a framework which not only allows for a translation between estimates obtained u…
