Concentration inequalities for random tensors [PDF]
Bernoulli, 2019 We show how to extend several basic concentration inequalities for simple random tensors $X = x_1 \otimes \cdots \otimes x_d$ where all $x_k$ are independent random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with independent coefficients.

Noncommutative martingale concentration inequalities [PDF]
Illinois Journal of Mathematics, 2014 We establish an Azuma type inequality under a Lipshitz condition for martingales in the framework of noncommutative probability spaces and apply it to deduce a noncommutative Heoffding inequality as well as a noncommutative McDiarmid type inequality. We also provide a noncommutative Azuma inequality for noncommutative supermartingales in which instead ...

Weighted Poincaré inequalities, concentration inequalities and tail bounds related to Stein kernels in dimension one [PDF]
Bernoulli, 2018 We investigate links between the so-called Stein's density approach in dimension one and some functional and concentration inequalities. We show that measures having a finite first moment and a density with connected support satisfy a weighted Poincare ...

Capital Concentration and Wage Inequality
The B.E. Journal of Theoretical Economics, 2019 AbstractThis paper analyzes how capital concentration affects wage inequality through the channel of financial frictions. Higher capital concentration can be regarded as the Piketty effect. Under the framework of cost constrained financial frictions, we find that higher capital concentration will expand (resp.
