Faculty Workshop: Making SSRN Go Further and Going Further Than SSRN

This workshop was hosted by the University of Michigan Law Library and created by Sarah Woloschuk, Scholarly Publishing Librarian. It was presented on June 28 2023. This workshop is primarily intended for faculty who have their works included in the Faculty Publications listing and who would like to: Increase their awareness of how to optimize SSRN metadata and become more visible to potential readers Learn the benefits of including their works in SSRN and the institutional repository Learn what metrics information is available from each platform Provided here is a recording of the workshop presentation, as well as the slide deck with notes and a copy of the handout provided for the interactive component of the workshop.https://repository.law.umich.edu/presentations/1000/thumbnail.jp

A Note on Minimax Testing and Confidence Intervals in Moment Inequality Models

This note uses a simple example to show how moment inequality models used in the empirical economics literature lead to general minimax relative efficiency comparisons. The main point is that such models involve inference on a low dimensional parameter, which leads naturally to a definition of "distance" that, in full generality, would be arbitrary in minimax testing problems. This definition of distance is justified by the fact that it leads to a duality between minimaxity of confidence intervals and tests, which does not hold for other definitions of distance. Thus, the use of moment inequalities for inference in a low dimensional parametric model places additional structure on the testing problem, which leads to stronger conclusions regarding minimax relative efficiency than would otherwise be possible

Falling through the (cultural) gaps?

In this paper we report findings of a study of online participation by culturally diverse participants in a distance adult education course offered in Canada, and examine two of the study’s early findings. First, we explore both the historical and cultural origins of “cyberculture values” as manifested in our findings, using the notions of explicit and implicit enforcement of those values. Second, we examine the notion of “cultural gaps” between participants in the course and the potential consequences for online communication successes and difficulties. We also discuss theoretical perspectives from Sociolinguistics, Applied Linguistics, Genre and Literacy Theory and Aboriginal Education that may shed further light on “cultural gaps” in online communications. Finally, we identify the need for additional research, primarily in the form of larger scale comparisons across cultural groups of patterns of participation and interaction, but also in the form of case studies that can be submitted to microanalyses of the form as well as the content of communicator’s participation and interaction online
