Summary

Personal academic website of Jasjeet Sekhon, a professor specializing in causal inference, matching methods, and statistical methodology applied to social sciences and policy. His work on observational study methods and causal identification is relevant to empirical AI safety research and policy evaluation. The site serves as a hub for his research, publications, and software tools.

Key Points

•Sekhon develops causal inference methods including matching algorithms used to estimate treatment effects in observational data
•His GenMatch and MatchIt tools are widely used in empirical policy and social science research
•Research focuses on rigorous statistical methodology for drawing causal conclusions from non-experimental data
•Work is relevant to AI governance and policy evaluation where randomized experiments are infeasible
•Bridges statistics and political science with applications to public policy analysis
