Speaker: 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. […]
