Discussion of ‘Causal inference with misspecified exposure mappings: separating definitions and assumptions’
对《暴露映射误设下的因果推断:区分定义与假设》的讨论:推断所需的干扰限制
We congratulate the author on an insightful paper that provides a discerning critique of the use of exposure mappings in studies with interference. The main observation is that exposure mappings serve two different functions; they define the estimand and impose structure on potential outcomes by restricting interference. The first function commonly leads researchers to select simple exposure mappings that summarize treatments assigned to units ‘near’ the ego. However, due to…
