We study causal inference in interrupted time series designs where a treatment affects every unit simultaneously, so that the contemporaneous controls used by difference-in-differences and synthetic control are unavailable and the counterfactual must be extrapolated from a unit's own pre-treatment history. We establish identification within the potential outcomes framework and estimate the counterfactual by Gaussian process regression. Rather than committing to a single best-fitting trend, the estimator retains the functions consistent with the pre-treatment series and widens its intervals where extrapolation magnifies their divergence. Connecting it to reproducing kernel Hilbert space theory, we derive a bias decomposition that isolates the component extrapolation inflates and a worst-case bound on that component, justifying the Gaussian process estimator's posterior variance as extrapolation-aware uncertainty quantification. In closed form, the band equals the worst-case divergence the model class permits among functions consistent with the pre-treatment data. The method is illustrated with calibrated simulations and an analysis of handgun purchases after the Supreme Court's Heller decision, a universal treatment whose practical effect concentrates in a single jurisdiction. An R package, gpss, implements the approach.
营销组合模型的识别困境:非线性与时变效应
Recent years have seen a resurgence in interest in marketing mix models (MMMs), which are aggregate-level models of marketing effectiveness. Often these models incorporate nonlinear effects, and either implicitly or explicitly assume that marketing effectiveness varies over time. In this paper, we show that nonlinear and time-varying effects are often not identifiable from standard marketing mix data: while certain data patterns may be suggestive of nonlinear effects, such…
横截面依赖下空气质量评估的时空事件研究
Event Studies (ES) are statistical tools that assess whether a particular event of interest has caused changes in the level of one or more relevant time series. We are interested in ES applied to multivariate time series characterized by high spatial (cross-sectional) and temporal dependence. We pursue two goals. First, we propose to extend the existing taxonomy on ES, mainly deriving from the financial field, by generalizing the underlying statistical concepts and then…
收缩与稀疏估计的贝叶斯方法
In all areas of human knowledge, datasets are increasing in both size and complexity, creating the need for richer statistical models. This trend is also true for economic data, where high-dimensional and nonlinear/nonparametric inference is the norm in several fields of applied econometric work. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the reader to the world of Bayesian model determination, by surveying modern shrinkage and variable selection algorithms and methodologies.…
协整与对照:利用时间序列数据评估事件影响
Summary Control groups can provide counterfactual evidence for assessing the impact of an event or policy change on a target variable. We argue that fitting a multivariate time series model offers potential gains over a direct comparison between the target and a weighted average of controls. More importantly, it highlights the assumptions underlying methods such as difference in differences and synthetic control, suggesting ways to test these assumptions. Gains from simple…
CausalFormer:用于时间因果发现的可解释 Transformer
Temporal causal discovery is a crucial task aimed at uncovering the causal relations within time series data. The latest temporal causal discovery methods usually train deep learning models on prediction tasks to uncover the causality between time series. They capture causal relations by analyzing the parameters of some components of the trained models, e.g., attention weights and convolution weights. However, this is an incomplete mapping process from the model parameters…
用于多元时间序列因果预测的组合式动态建模
Theoretical developments in sequential Bayesian analysis of multivariate dynamic models underlie new methodology for causal prediction. This extends the utility of existing models with computationally efficient methodology, enabling routine exploration of Bayesian counterfactual analyses with multiple selected time series as synthetic controls. Methodological contributions also define the concept of outcome adaptive modelling to monitor and inferentially respond to changes…
