Title: Mathematical Economics Seminar: Experimental Design in NetworksSpeaker: Christopher Harshaw (c.harshaw@columbia.edu), Columbia University Title: Design-Based Minimax Theory for Network Experiments Abstract: Network experiments are used throughout the social and medical sciences to investigate causal effects under the presence of interference. While a large body of work has developed improved statistical procedures, the fundamental limits of statistical estimation in these settings is less well understood. In this paper, we develop and investigate a design-based theory of minimax risk for network experiments under an arbitrary neighborhood interference model. Our notion of minimax risk describes the optimal precision among all statistical procedures for investigating a particular causal effect on the observed interference network. We show that the minimax risk is a function of the corresponding conflict graph, which captures inherent... |
