The Synthetic Control Method with Nonlinear Outcomes: Estimating the Impact of the 2019 Anti-Extradition Law Amendments Bill Protests on Hong Kong's Economy

open access: yes, 2023
The synthetic control estimator (Abadie et al., 2010) is asymptotically unbiased assuming that the outcome is a linear function of the underlying predictors and that the treated unit can be well approximated by the synthetic control before the treatment. When the outcome is nonlinear, the bias of the synthetic control estimator can be severe.

Collective procrastination and protest cycles

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page 1406-1419, October 2025.
Abstract This paper studies a model of “pivotal protesting,” in which citizens act in order to change the outcome rather than to collect private benefits. We show that, when citizens face repeated opportunities to protest against a regime, pivotal protesting entails complex dynamic considerations: The continuation value of the status quo influences the
