asymptotic linear expansions with nearly optimal rates. Second, we study the higher-order bias of exact quantile estimators up to … O (1/n). Using a novel non-smooth calculus technique, we uncover previously unknown non-negligible bias components that … “symmetric” bias correction, which admits a feasible implementation. Our simulations confirm the empirical importance of bias …

How can naiveté about present bias persist despite experience? To answer this question, our experiment investigates …. While we find that participants are present biased and initially naive about their bias, our methodology enables us to … results suggest that persistent naiveté cannot be explained by a fundamental inferential bias. At the same time, we find that …

This paper provides new evidence on gender bias in teaching evaluations. We exploit a quasi-experimental dataset of 19 … women receive systematically lower teaching evaluations than their male colleagues. This bias is driven by male students …' evaluations, is larger for mathematical courses and particularly pronounced for junior women. The gender bias in teaching …

bias on user-generated content platforms are rare. We develop a novel procedure to detect coverage bias – i.e., bias in the … disentangle coverage bias from unobserved heterogeneity between observations. We apply our procedure to Wikipedia and examine … whether it has a coverage bias in its biographies of German (and French) Members of Parliament (MPs). Our analysis reveals a …
