Seminar Alfred Galichon Thu 29 May 14:30
by Marta Catalano 22 May '25

22 May '25

Dear all, we are pleased to announce the following seminar at Luiss University. ——— Speaker: Alfred Galichon, New York University Title: Optimal Transport for Economics: Applications and Extensions When: Thu May 29, 14:30 Where: Via Lisbona 7, 00198 Roma Room: S03A Abstract: Optimal transport theory has emerged as a unifying geometric framework for a wide range of economic questions that hinge on allocating heterogeneous agents or goods in a cost-efficient way. This talk surveys recent methodological advances and shows how they sharpen three core empirical tools: - Discrete choice models – I will show how viewing demand estimation through the lens of optimal transport delivers transparent identification of taste heterogeneity and suggests computationally efficient estimation algorithms that scale to high-dimensional product spaces. - Matching models – Building on the Monge–Kantorovich formulation, I will discuss equilibrium assignments in labor and marriage markets, highlighting new existence and uniqueness results when complementarities are non-transferable. Optimal transport duality provides constructive characterizations of wage/transfer schedules and illuminates comparative-statics of policy interventions. - Quantile regression and distributional methods – Re-casting quantile regression as an optimal transport problem links conditional quantiles to integral probability metrics. This perspective leads to robust, dependence-aware estimators and facilitates inference on counterfactual distributions, with applications to wage inequality and treatment-effect heterogeneity. Throughout, I will emphasize common geometric intuition, outline open computational challenges, and sketch extensions to dynamic settings and strategic interaction. The overarching goal is to demonstrate how optimal transport offers economists a versatile, tractable, and conceptually coherent toolkit for modeling heterogeneity and market frictions across disparate empirical domains. ——— More info can be found at this link: https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/research-seminar/optimal-transport-for-ec… The seminar will be in presence only.

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the opening of applications for the PhD programme in Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science at the University of Florence. Applications in Probability are very welcome. See here for the general call: https://www.unifi.it/en/study-us/after-graduation/phd-programmes/phd-course… and here for more specific information about the PhD application in Maths: https://www.unifi.it/en/study-us/after-graduation/phd-programmes/phd-courses A Master’s degree is required, but those who do not hold it yet can be admitted, as long as they get their degree by October. A brief 1-2 page research project is also required during the application; this is usually written in collaboration with a potential supervisor. There are 8 positions not linked to a specific research topic (so any research topic in Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science is welcome), of which 6 with scholarship and 2 without. Interested people are encouraged to get in touch with one of us.

Eleanor Archer (Dauphine-PSL Paris) A spanning tree of a finite connected graph G is a connected subgraph of G that contains every vertex and no cycles. A well-known result of Aldous states that the scaling limit of the uniform spanning tree (UST) of the complete graph is the Brownian continuum random tree. We will discuss a recent result that shows that this is a universal phenomenon, in that the GHP scaling limit of the UST of any appropriate sequence of high dimensional graphs is the CRT. In particular, this holds for the torus in dimensions five and higher. Based on joint work with Asaf Nachmias and Matan Shalev. Scaling limit of the Aldous-Broder chain on regular graphs: the transient regime. Anita Winter (Duisburg-Essen University) A spanning tree of a finite connected graph G is a connected subgraph of G that contains every vertex and no cycles. A well-known way to generate a uniform spanning tree (UST) is the Aldous-Broder algorithm. This is a stochastic process with values in rooted trees that is driven by a random walk on G and converges as time goes to infinity towards the Brownian Continuum Tree (CRT). On the complete graph it is known that this process has a GH-scaling limit which is referred to as Root Growth with Regrafting dynamics (RGRG). We will show that this is again a universal phenomenon, i.e., it holds for the Alous-Broder chain on any appropriate sequence of regular graphs in the transient regime. In particular, this holds for the torus in dimensions five and higher. This is joint work with Osvaldo Angtuncio Hernandez and Gabriel Berzunza Ojeda. https://polimi-it.zoom.us/j/92945513591?pwd=zjtRwpHoO9kRyQuPPj4o186jXrvg1v.1 Meeting ID: 92945513591 Passcode: 131676
