We also propose a method for constructing uniformly valid confidence sets when all variables are discrete and discuss its (multiple) limitations.
Andrea Rotnitzky retweeted
We establish several impossibility results. In particular, we show that if the model allows the integral equation to be arbitrarily ill-posed, Wald confidence intervals are not asymptotically uniformly valid, and uniformly consistent estimators do not exist.

Very happy to share this new paper written with Jamie and Andrea. We study the construction of uniformly valid confidence sets for a class of parameters that includes estimands from instrumental variables models and proximal causal inference.

Thanks to @ElianaCarranza and @WorldBank for highlighting my #JobMarketPaper on the winners and losers in the gig economy. My research explores the impact of delivery platforms on workers and businesses in Brazil. Check out the blog! 🌍👇
📦🚴♂️ Who wins & loses in the #gig economy? @mpplotkin discusses delivery #platforms' impact on workers, businesses & customers @WorldBank Development Impact. In contexts where informal work and unemployment are common, balancing trade-offs in #jobs flexibility, #workers protections & fair competition is key. 🌍

I’m excited to be on the job market this year! My job market paper studies the trade-offs of technologies that transform the composition of labor while allowing firms to expand their markets. I focus on a technology growing worldwide: online-delivery platforms.
Pascuel (@mpplotkin) studies how alternative work arrangements impact inequality. His job market paper links employer-employee data with delivery platforms to examine how platform adoption affects restaurants, their employees, and gig workers. Profile: pascuel.github.io/

New research on motherhood and entrepreneurship! We know children impact women’s careers, but in entrepreneurship, the effects are even more far-reaching. Here’s why that matters👇 #EconJobMarket
Valentina (@valentinaruts) studies Labor Economics, Corporate Finance, and Entrepreneurship. Her job market paper is “Minding Your Business or Your Child? Motherhood and the Entrepreneurship Gap”. Profile: valentinarutigliano.com/

7/9: I was repeatedly reassured that my luggage would arrive directly to Vancouver and that I shouldn't worry. However, (not) shockingly my lugagge never made it to Vancouver.
Andrea Rotnitzky retweeted
6/9: At 1am, someone from customer service proceeded to help us out. We were given a 12USD voucher for food (which in DFW gets you ~ 2 sodas) and assigned to a @Delta flight the next morning to Vancouver through Minneapolis. We spent the night sleepless at Dallas airport.
Andrea Rotnitzky retweeted
5/9: We spent 3 hours in the queue trying to get someone to help us, mostly due to the fact that for most of the time, there was only 1 person helping the more than 200 people that were in the same situation.

4/9: We arrived at Dallas at 9pm and the response from American Airlines, was that we should to go to the customer service desk to re-schedule a new flight.
Andrea Rotnitzky retweeted
3/9: Our flight from Orlando to Dallas was delayed approximately 3 hours due to maintance issues which made us lose our connection from Dallas to Vancouver (originally we had ~ 2 hours in Dallas, so under normal circunstances we would have had more than enough time to make it).
Andrea Rotnitzky retweeted
2/9: With 2 friends we were returning from London to Vancouver with layovers in Orlando and Dallas. These flights were (1) BA 2037, (2) AA1324 & (3) AA 1149.

9/9: This is just terrible customer service from @AmericanAir. Delays can happen but this type of response is just unacceptable and disrespectful. At this point, I am still awaiting to hear from the airline about where my luggage is and when it will be delivered.
Andrea Rotnitzky retweeted
8/9: Even worst, the lugagge claim support desk at YVR said that American Airlines never included my lugagge in the system and so they don't even know in which airport my checked bags are.
Andrea Rotnitzky retweeted
1/9: I never post these things but travelling with American Airlines has been a nightmare: I am deeply frustrated and disappointed with the recent experiences I've had with @AmericanAir and it just went a bit too far. #PaxEx #AATeam #AmericanAirlines
