Mining Chinese Historical Sources At Scale : A Machine Learning-Approach to Qing State Capacity
Keller, Wolfgang; Shiue, Carol H.; Yan, Sen - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
Primary historical sources are often by-passed for secondary sources due to high human costs of accessing and extracting primary information-especially in lower-resource settings. We propose a supervised machine-learning approach to the natural language processing of Chinese historical data. An...

Data and Market Power
Eeckhout, Jan; Veldkamp, Laura - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
Might firms' use of data create market power? To explore this hypothesis, we craft a model in which economies of scale in data induce a data-rich firm to invest in producing at a lower marginal cost and larger scale. However, the model uncovers much richer interactions between data, welfare and...

Partially Linear Models under Data Combination
D'Haultfœuille, Xavier; Gaillac, Christophe; Maurel, Arnaud - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
We consider the identification of and inference on a partially linear model, when the outcome of interest and some of the covariates are observed in two different datasets that cannot be linked. This type of data combination problem arises very frequently in empirical microeconomics. Using...
