Finite sample evaluation of causal machine learning methods : guidelines for the applied researcher
Naghi, Andrea A.; Wirths, Christian P. - 2021
The econometrics literature proposed several new causal machine learning methods (CML) in the past few years. These methods harness the strength of machine learning methods to flexibly model the relationship between the treatment, outcome and confounders, while providing valid inferential...

Assessing autonomous algorithmic collusion : Q-learning under short-run price commitments
Klein, Timo - 2018 - Revision: September 2018
A novel debate within competition policy and regulation circles is whether autonomous machine learning algorithms may learn to collude on prices. We show that when fims face short-run price commitments, independent Q-learning (a simple but well-established self-learning algorithm) learns to...

Fuzzy firm name matching : merging Amadeus firm data to PATSTAT
Bremer, Leon - 2023
When merging firms across large databases in the absence of common identifiers, text algorithms can help. I propose a high-performance fuzzy firm name matching algorithm that uses existing computational methods and works even under hardware restrictions. The algorithm consists of four steps,...
