SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Selective Outreach and Spillovers from Targeted Interest Rate Caps
DESCRIPTION:Many countries implement interest rate caps that target specific loan segments\, reducing their profitability. Whether lenders reallocate credit supply away from targeted segments depends on how borrowers and lenders are matched. This paper studies the credit supply and welfare effects of targeted interest rate caps when lenders selectively reach out to borrowers\, a common practice in many settings. Using a reform that tightened interest rate caps on agricultural loans in Ecuador\, I show that\, consistent with the reallocation prediction\, cooperatives reduced agricultural lending and increased non-agricultural lending. By contrast\, banks expanded agricultural lending. I develop an empirical model in which lenders allocate supply by selectively extending offers to borrowers. I find that\, although all lenders reduced their offers to agricultural borrowers\, banks' originations increased because steeper price cuts raised borrower acceptance. Most of the cross-sector supply reallocation and welfare losses in the agricultural sector are due to targeting.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:When Prediction Meets Randomization: Regression\, Machine Learning\, or LLMs? Lessons from 125 Randomized Trials
DESCRIPTION:Covariate adjustment is a standard tool for improving precision in randomized trials\, but the value of increasingly flexible prediction methods remains unclear. This talk begins with an empirical comparison of regression and machine-learning-based adjustment across 50 completed trials. The results show that flexible machine learning methods are not automatically superior: simple regression adjustment with prognostic baseline covariates is often highly competitive. This finding motivates a new question: can large language models change the picture by extracting useful prognostic information from baseline covariates\, trial descriptions\, or other text-derived features? To address this question\, I present a unified framework for LLM-assisted covariate adjustment and empirical evidence from 125 randomized trials. We evaluate LLM-derived features\, including zero/few-shot predictions\, fine-tuned models\, and embedding-based representations\, combined with both regression and machine-learning estimators. The results show that LLM features can provide additional precision gains beyond classical covariates\, although the gains vary across trials\, sample sizes\, and outcome types. Overall\, LLMs appear most useful as tools for constructing better prognostic features within transparent and honest adjustment procedures.\n\n*Department reception in 450 West Hall after the seminar at 11:00 AM*
