Okun's law and spatial regimes in Indonesia: A machine learning approach

Okun's law varies markedly across Indonesian districts, and growth shocks spill over to neighboring regions — calling for locally tailored, coordinated labor policies.

Double LASSO in Python: Does Abortion Reduce Crime?

Python companion to the R and Stata Double LASSO tutorials — same data, same five estimators, plus a hands-on introduction to the DoubleML library (DoubleMLPLR, DoubleMLIRM, and learner-robustness across LASSO, RandomForest, XGBoost).

Double LASSO in Stata: Does Abortion Reduce Crime?

Stata companion to the R Double LASSO tutorial — same data, same five estimators, replicating the Belloni-Chernozhukov-Hansen 284-control extension of Donohue and Levitt's abortion-and-crime panel with pdslasso, rlasso, and cvlasso.

Double LASSO for Causal Inference: Does Abortion Reduce Crime?

A beginner-friendly walkthrough of Double LASSO for causal inference, replicating Fitzgerald, Lattimore, Robinson and Zhu's (2026) analysis of the Donohue–Levitt abortion–crime question with 284 candidate controls and state-clustered standard errors.
