PROTECTING PROPERTY RIGHTS WITH STRICT SCRUTINY: AN ARGUMENT FOR THE SPECIFICALLY AND UNIQUELY ATTRIBUTABLE STANDARD

This article analyzes three levels of scrutiny states have applied to regulatory takings cases. These include \u27judicial deterrence , rational nexus , and specifically and uniquely attributable . The author argues that the first two standards are inefficient and concludes in favor of the specifically and uniquely attributable standard

An Information-Theoretic Analysis of Thompson Sampling

We provide an information-theoretic analysis of Thompson sampling that applies across a broad range of online optimization problems in which a decision-maker must learn from partial feedback. This analysis inherits the simplicity and elegance of information theory and leads to regret bounds that scale with the entropy of the optimal-action distribution. This strengthens preexisting results and yields new insight into how information improves performance
