Empirical researchers increasingly use upstream machine-learning (ML) methods to construct proxies for latent target variables from complex, unstructured data. A naive plug-in use of such proxies in downstream econometric models, however, can lead to biased estimation and invalid inference. This paper develops a framework for partial identification and inference in general moment models with ML-generated proxies. Our approach does not require restrictive assumptions on the upstream ML procedure, such as consistency or known convergence rates, nor does it require a complete validation sample containing all variables used in the downstream analysis. Instead, we assume access to two datasets: a downstream sample containing observed covariates and the proxy, and an auxiliary validation sample containing joint observations on the proxy and its target variable. We treat the proxy as a linking variable between these two samples, rather than as a literal noisy substitute for the latent target variable. Building on this idea, we develop a sharp identification strategy based on an unconditional optimal transport characterization and an inference procedure that controls asymptotic size using analytical critical values without resampling. Monte Carlo simulations show reliable size control and informative confidence sets across a range of predictive-accuracy scenarios.
多控制变量下工资不平等界的去偏推断
We study estimation and inference for a partially identified parameter whose identified set depends on a first-stage nuisance parameter that must itself be estimated. Combining the criterion-function approach with the theory of Neyman-orthogonal moments that underlies double/debiased machine learning, we propose a two-step procedure: the point-identified nuisance is estimated by flexible machine-learning methods, and the set-identified target is recovered as a level set of a…
无排除限制时利用分布变动进行识别
This paper studies identification and inference in a triangular system with an endogenous regressor when exclusion restrictions are unavailable and the dependence between structural disturbances is modeled through an unrestricted control function. In this setting, standard orthogonality conditions do not deliver point identification, as the unknown control function can rationalize a wide range of structural coefficients. We show that identifying information can be extracted…
利用 AI 生成测量识别缺失数据:弱影子变量方法
Across business and social science applications, outcomes are often missing in ways that depend on the unobserved outcomes themselves. In service systems, for example, whether a customer submits a rating depends on the rating they would have provided. Such missing-not-at-random (MNAR) mechanisms make population quantities difficult to identify without strong assumptions on the observation process. Meanwhile, rich unstructured data, such as customer interaction histories, are…
部分识别因果效应的模型无关协变量辅助推断
Many causal estimands are only partially identifiable since they depend on the unobservable joint distribution between potential outcomes. Stratification on pretreatment covariates can yield sharper bounds; however, unless the covariates are discrete with relatively small support, this approach typically requires binning covariates or estimating the conditional distributions of potential outcomes given the covariates. Binning can result in substantial efficiency loss and…
利用代理变量对因果效应进行部分识别
Proximal causal inference is a framework for evaluating the causal effects in the presence of unmeasured confounding. For point identification, it leverages a pair of proxy variables to identify a bridge function that matches the dependence of potential outcomes or treatment variables on the hidden factors to corresponding functions of observed proxies. Unique identification requires that proxies are sufficiently relevant for hidden factors, a requirement that has previously…
不完整数据下的不平等界限
We study inequality measures when outcomes are observed only in intervals, as in historical tabulations, privacy-protected grouped data, and modern surveys. We develop a nonparametric framework for sharp identification and inference with grouped and interval-valued data, covering brackets and overlapping intervals. For a class of inequality indices, sharp bounds are attained by discrete distributions with finite support, reducing the problem to optimization;…
