Data-driven subgroup identification is increasingly used in clinical trials, yet the effect reported for a discovered subgroup is typically the standard analysis: a Cox or generalized-linear-model treatment coefficient fitted within that subgroup. Selection by an effect-driven rule --- rewarding large estimated effects subject to screening and size criteria --- inflates the reported coefficient: a winner's curse invalidating naive intervals whether or not the identifier's internal estimand was de-biased by cross-fitting. We develop a procedure-agnostic framework for post-selection inference that separates discovery from reporting: forest search, difference-in-natural-parameters estimators, and causal forests generate interpretable candidate subgroups; selection is aligned with the coefficient to be reported; and the target is the standard-analysis effect of the selected subgroup, the candidate family held fixed --- a conditional, data-adaptive estimand. Resampling the search then reduces to jointly perturbing all candidate effects, yielding refit-free multiplier resampling with an infinitesimal-jackknife interval whose coverage we characterize under standard regularity and an explicit condition on the limiting competition. It matches the full bootstrap on a fixed family; on model-generated families it remains valid for the same conditional target, which the bootstrap reproduces only under further conditions. Two trial applications and matched simulations show mitigated selection bias and improved coverage.
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…
使用预训练嵌入处理非结构化数据的计量经济学
Unstructured data, such as images and text, are increasingly used in empirical economics. Since training machine-learning models on unstructured data is costly, economists often use off-the-shelf pre-trained deep learning models developed by computer scientists to extract embeddings, which are then used as covariates in target economic analyses. Despite the popularity of this practice, its theoretical foundations remain limited. There are two main difficulties. First,…
CaSPECT:用有向谱聚类发现因果同质子群
We propose \textbf{CaSPECT}, a causal spectral clustering framework for discovering causally homogeneous subgroups from observational data. Rather than clustering in covariate space, CaSPECT defines similarity through the topology of a learned directed acyclic graph (DAG); a bootstrap-stabilised PC algorithm recovers the causal skeleton; a novel \emph{Orientation Validation Score} (OVS) combines PC bootstrap evidence with DirectLiNGAM to orient edges robustly; directed edges…
利用双重机器学习估计直接与间接分位数处理效应
We propose a framework to disentangle the quantile treatment effect of a binary treatment at a specific rank into an indirect quantile treatment effect that operates through a mediator and an unmediated direct quantile treatment effect. We establish identification results for these effects under the sequential ignorability assumption and propose double/debiased machine learning estimators, based on the efficient influence functions of the cumulative distribution functions of…
机器学习分布型工具变量估计中的模型风险
We study model risk in machine-learning estimation of the Distributional Instrumental Variable Local Average Treatment Effect (D-IV-LATE), the distributional IV effect for the subpopulation induced into treatment by the instrument. The contribution is not a new neural causal estimand. We implement a reduced-form orthogonal level-score DML estimator for the covariate-adjusted D-IV-LATE target and use it to ask how much the nuisance learner matters for distributional IV…
结合 BART 与主分层估计避孕使用对就业的影响:尼日利亚与塞内加尔
There is interest in learning about the causal effects of modern contraceptive use on empowerment outcomes. Data on this question often come from family planning (FP) programs that increase access to FP and facilitate contraceptive use among some women, rather than directly assigning use. Women whose contraceptive behavior changes because of these programs ("compliers") may differ from target populations in ways that alter the consequences of contraceptive use for…
