UMass Amherst Computer Scientists New Technique Measure Social Bias Software
2017/9/5
Today, banks are increasingly using software to decide who will get a loan, courts to judge who should be denied bail, and hospitals to choose treatments for patients. These uses of software make it c...
A study comparing acceptance rates of contributions from men and women in an open-source software community finds that, overall, women’s contributions tend to be accepted more often than men’s – but w...
Testing the effectiveness of the oath script in reducing the hypothetical bias in the Contingent Valuation Method
cheap talk script Contingent Valuation oath script Willingness-To-Pay
2016/9/1
The objective of the study is to investigate the effect of the oath script (HO) in an hypothetical Contingent Valuation survey in a Mediterranean country (e.g. Italy). Hence, there were conducted the ...
Bias-Variance Tradeoffs in Program Analysis
Program Analysis Machine Learning Verification
2016/5/24
It is often the case that increasing the precision of a program analysis leads to worse results. It is our thesis that this phenomenon is the result of fundamental limits on the ability to use precise...
Where There Is a Will:Fertility Behavior and Sex Bias in Large Families
Fertility Behavior Sex Bias Large Families
2016/3/3
This paper demonstrates that the social institutions of lineage maintenance, patrilocality, and joint families have a significant role in explaining sex differences in survival and health outcomes in ...
Heterogeneous Income Profi les and Lifecycle Bias in Intergenerational Mobility Estimation
Lifecycle Bias Intergenerational Mobility Estimation
2016/3/2
Using short snapshots of income in intergenerational mobility estimation
causes “lifecycle bias” if the snapshots cannot mimic lifetime outcomes.
We use uniquely long series of Swedish income data...

In a representative system of government, policy outcomes are affected by
the political preferences and the beliefs of the voters. The media play a
key role in shaping these preferences and beliefs....
Does media bias affect voting? We analyze the entry of Fox News in cable
markets and its impact on voting. Between October 1996 and November 2000, the
conservative Fox News Channel was introduced in...
Assessing the Ability of Matching to Address Attrition Bias in a Randomized Experiment using Data from the Rand Health Insurance Experiment
Matching to Address Attrition Bias Randomized Experiment Rand Health Insurance Experiment
2015/9/18
It is well known that non-random attrition can lead to bias in estimating treatmenteffects from a social experiment that is based on random assignment. If the randomized intervention suffers from non-...
Comment on Gabaix and Laibson, “The 6D bias and the equity premium puzzle”
premium puzzle Gabaix and Laibson
2015/7/23
An economy populated by a representative agent with power utility predicts
an equity premium which is far below the realized equity premium in postwar
data, at least for “reasonable parameters” for ...
We review the theoretical literature on market determinants of media bias. We present a
theoretical framework that organizes many key themes in the literature, and discuss substantive
lessons.
Empirical Performance of Bias-reducing Estimators for Regenerative Steady-State Simulations
Bias-reducing estimators regeneration simulation
2015/7/6
When simulating a stochastic system, simulationists often are interested in estimating various steady-state performance measures. The classical point estimator for such a measure involves simply takin...
