Nonparametric inference for counterfactual means: Bias-correction, confidence sets, and weak IV
反事实均值的非参数推断:偏差修正、置信集与弱工具变量
This paper supplements Manski (1990) and Manski and Pepper (2000) and contributes to the literature by introducing the concept of weak IV for the partially identified mean counterfactual outcomes when an instrumental variable (IV) or a monotone instrumental variable (MIV) is available (IV or MIV assumption respectively); developing asymptotically uniformly valid confidence sets for the counterfactual mean outcomes and average treatment effects under the assumptions;…
