        "description":"Can increasing women's use of digital financial services raise their empowerment? We test this hypothesis using a randomized control trial with 152 female microfinance groups in Tanzania, where treated groups were randomly switched from cash to mobile money loan repayment. This exogenous increase in women's use of mobile money leads women to expand their use for other types of transactions, including business payments and saving. Women's control over their finances increases and they are more empowered within the household. Over time, women's businesses become more profitable. These findings highlight the benefits of shifting payments to digital for women.",

        "description":"Modern machine learning systems are trained on massive amounts of unstructured data such as text, images, and sequences. Despite the apparent lack of explicit structure, they exhibit remarkable abilities to learn patterns, perform reasoning, and support decision-making. This apparent paradox raises a central question: what structure do these models recover from unstructured data, and how can we understand and use it?\n\nThis dissertation investigates how language models (i) represent structure through their architectures, (ii) learn structure from unstructured data, and (iii) enable us to leverage this learned structure for principled causal inference with unstructured data.\n\nThe first part develops a statistical perspective of attention mechanisms, the core building block of modern language models. We show that attention can be interpreted as adaptive mixture-of-experts models. This interpretation enables us to extend attention to model general exponential family-distributed data, making it capable of modeling complex, heterogeneous data beyond text. In turn, this perspective reframes attention as a statistical model, explaining how it captures complex dependencies and latent structure, with guarantees on identifiability and generalization.\n\nThe second part examines how such structure arises from unstructured training data. We show that many in-context learning behaviors can emerge directly from co-occurrence patterns in unstructured text, linking modern models to classical co-occurrence modeling tools like latent factor modeling. At the same time, we identify the limits of this mechanism: positional structure becomes essential for more complex reasoning tasks. We further demonstrate that training data composition plays a critical role in shaping model behavior and alignment, with example difficulty acting as a key factor.\n\nThe final part studies how learned representations in language models can be leveraged for causal inference in high-dimensional, unstructured settings. Our approach identifies causal variables directly within the representation space, enabling well-defined estimation of causal effects when treatments or outcomes are themselves unstructured. In particular, we isolate representation directions corresponding to the most causally influential treatment components and the most salient treatment-induced outcome variations.\n\nTogether, these results provide a unified perspective on how modern machine learning systems extract structure from unstructured data, and how that structure can be harnessed for rigorous statistical and causal analysis.",

        "description":"This event will feature a conversation between Dr. William Lopez and Dr. Alford A. Young Jr. as they explore the challenges of publishing scholarship focused on race, immigration status, and social policy in the current socio-political environment. The conversation will explore several key themes, including the decision-making process for choosing writing venues, the challenges of publishing research that elicits public opinion and backlash, and the demands of balancing media and activism with scholarly obligations. The program will include a moderated dialogue, followed by an audience Q&A, in an intimate forum designed for faculty and graduate scholars engaged in anti-racist research and interested in expanding their public engagement. Lunch will be provided.\n",
