高维控制变量下条件平均处理效应的双重稳健推断AI 解读

Plausible identification of conditional average treatment effects (CATEs) can rely on controlling for a large number of variables to account for confounding factors. In these high-dimensional settings, estimation of the CATE requires estimating first-stage models whose consistency relies on correctly specifying their parametric forms. While doubly-robust estimators of the CATE exist, inference procedures based on the second-stage CATE estimator are not doubly-robust. Using…

工具变量模型中的识别：Abadie 的 Kappa 的核心作用AI 解读

We study instrumental variables models characterized by: (i) Unobserved heterogeneity consisting of potential outcomes and response types that describe how the instrument determines treatment choice; (ii) Conditional independence of the instrument and the unobserved heterogeneity; and (iii) Convex restrictions on the distribution of unobserved heterogeneity. We show certain causal parameters are identified in these models if and only if a version of the kappa of Abadie…
