Random Recursive Partitioning: a matching method for the estimation of the average treatment effect
随机递归划分:估计平均处理效应的匹配方法
Abstract In this paper we introduce the Random Recursive Partitioning (RRP) matching method. RRP generates a proximity matrix which might be useful in econometric applications like average treatment effect estimation. RRP is a Monte Carlo method that randomly generates non‐empty recursive partitions of the data and evaluates the proximity between two observations as the empirical frequency they fall in a same cell of these random partitions over all Monte Carlo replications.…
