SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Regulation Meets Public Infrastructure: Evidence from Environmental Water Policy in China.
DESCRIPTION:Pollution environmental infrastructure often requires collective investment and may be under-provided. We study whether environmental regulation can alleviate this coordination problem in the context of China's South-to-North Water Transfer Project\, which combines stringent water-pollution regulation with large-scale expansion of wastewater treatment plants. Using a spatial difference-in-differences design\, we find that the policy reduced industrial water pollution by 22% while generating only modest and temporary output losses. To understand this pattern\, we develop and estimate a spatial industry equilibrium model in which wastewater treatment plants are endogenous club goods requiring firms to coordinate on shared fixed costs. The model shows that wastewater treatment infrastructure offsets roughly 45% of the output losses associated with regulation while delivering nearly identical emissions reductions. Counterfactual analysis indicates that regulation accounts for roughly one-third of infrastructure construction and partially restores the efficient provision of pollution-control infrastructure by increasing firms' incentives to participate in shared public infrastructure.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistical Learning with Tensors: Compression\, Communication\, and Completion
DESCRIPTION:Many modern statistical and machine learning problems involve parameters that are intrinsically multiway\, including spatiotemporal arrays\, network data\, and weight tensors in large neural networks. Although such objects can always be vectorized\, doing so ignores multilinear structure and can lead to substantially different statistical and computational behavior. Weight tensors from large language models will serve as a motivating example\, illustrating how tensor methods can preserve structural information that is lost under naive vectorization. This talk develops a unified perspective on recent work in tensor-structured learning through three themes: compression\, communication\, and completion. Methodologically\, I will discuss low-rank tensor parameterizations\, rank selection through optimism-based risk analysis\, communication-efficient randomized tensor algorithms\, and structured sampling schemes for tensor completion. A recurring goal is to obtain nonasymptotic guarantees that connect tensor geometry\, statistical error\, computational cost\, and sample or communication complexity with formal guarantees.
