The law forbids discrimination. But the ambiguity of human decision-making often makes it extraordinarily hard for the legal system to know whether anyone has actually discriminated. To understand how algorithms affect discrimination, we must therefore also understand how they affect the problem...

We ask how machine learning can change a crucial step of the scientific process in economics: the advancement of theories through the discovery of "anomalies." Canonical examples of anomalies include the Allais Paradox and the Kahneman-Tversky choice experiments, which are concrete examples of...

objective function for the algorithm designer and a model of their information sets and interaction. We build such a model that … allows the training data to exhibit a wide range of "biases." Prevailing wisdom is that biased data change how the algorithm … is trained and whether an algorithm should be used at all. In contrast, we find two striking irrelevance results. First …
