I propose a framework to characterize the sensitivity of estimates and counterfactuals to the distributional assumptions about latent variables in structural econometric models. I characterize the lower and upper bounds on the counterfactual as the...

In response to the frustration with the current democratic institutions that failed to adapt to the evolving society, alternative decision-making processes emerged in recent years. Requests for more representativity of the citizenry resulted in the...

Sequential decision-making in a multi-agent environment arises frequently in the real world. We consider online learning in unknown Markov games: 1) a Markov game is used to model the multi-player dynamic environment, 2) online learning means that...

Matrix completion is the study of recovering an underlying matrix from a sparse subset of noisy observations. Traditionally, it is assumed that the entries of the matrix are “missing completely at random” (MCAR), i.e., each entry is revealed at...

In this talk, we introduce our recent works about proximal-primal-dual algorithms for constrained nonconvex optimization. The augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) and the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) are popular for solving...
