含协变量的模糊断点回归设计：识别与估计AI 解读

We study fuzzy regression discontinuity designs with covariates and characterize the weighted averages of conditional local average treatment effects (WLATEs) that are point identified. Any identified WLATE equals a Wald ratio of conditional reduced-form and first-stage discontinuities. We highlight the Compliance-Weighted LATE (CWLATE), which weights cells by squared first-stage discontinuities and maximizes first-stage strength. For discrete covariates, we provide simple…

因果偏好征询AI 解读

We propose causal preference elicitation, a Bayesian framework for expert-in-the-loop causal discovery that actively queries local edge relations to concentrate a posterior over directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). From any black-box observational posterior, we model noisy expert judgments with a three-way likelihood over edge existence and direction. Posterior inference uses a flexible particle approximation, and queries are selected by an efficient expected information gain…
