The Finite Sample Performance of Inference Methods for Propensity Score Matching and Weighting Estimators
倾向得分匹配与加权估计量推断方法的有限样本表现
This article investigates the finite sample properties of a range of inference methods for propensity score-based matching and weighting estimators frequently applied to evaluate the average treatment effect on the treated. We analyze both asymptotic approximations and bootstrap methods for computing variances and confidence intervals in our simulation designs, which are based on German register data and U.S. survey data. We vary the design w.r.t. treatment selectivity,…
