Randomized trials support causal inference, but differences between trial and target populations can limit the transportability of treatment effects to real-world settings. Many existing approaches model the propensity of trial participation and can therefore be sensitive to model misspecification and weak overlap of the covariate distributions. Optimal Transport (OT) offers a different route by comparing the trial and target populations directly in covariate space. We develop RICOT, a Riesz-calibrated OT procedure transporting treatment effects to a treated target population. We consider a semi-unbalanced OT with entropic regularization where the source marginals are relaxed. We show that the uncalibrated OT introduces a bias which does not shrink with increasing sample size. RICOT removes this bias by imposing calibration equations directly within the transport problem. With a growing calibration sieve, the calibrated weight consistently estimates the target-to-trial density ratio, equivalently the Riesz representer of the target expectation functional, even when the entropic and source-relaxation parameters remain fixed and positive. Combined with outcome regression, the resulting estimator is doubly robust and attains the semiparametric efficiency bound under suitable rate conditions. Its variance is estimated directly from the influence function, without resampling or repeated OT optimization. Simulations show low bias and near-nominal coverage across a range of overlap and misspecification settings, including settings in which sampling-score methods perform poorly. We illustrate RICOT in a real-world application involving a rare progressive cardiomyopathy, comparing conventional IPW and AIPW estimators with our OT-based IPW and doubly robust estimators for transporting the randomized treatment effect to a real-world population receiving the same treatment.
利用替代指标辅助缺失主要结局的高效跨总体分布与分位数处理效应估计
We study target-population distributional and quantile treatment effects when a source study observes treatment and post-treatment surrogates for all source units but observes a long-run primary outcome only for a validation subset, while the target population contributes only baseline covariates. The target estimands are transported counterfactual distribution functions $ψ_a(y)=P(Y^a\le y\mid R=0)$, their quantiles $q_a(τ)$, and the quantile treatment effect $Δ(τ)=q_1(τ)-q_0(τ)$…
匹配与半参数工具变量估计:距离型迁移指标及青年男性工资
Our paper estimates the effect of US internal migration on wage growth for young men between their first and second job. Our analysis of migration extends previous research by: (i) exploiting the distance-based measures of migration in the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth 1979 (NLSY79); (ii) allowing the effect of migration to differ by schooling level and (iii) using propensity score matching to estimate the average treatment effect on the treated (ATET) for movers…
连接局部与总体因果效应:近端工具变量方法
Instrumental variable (IV) methods address treatment endogeneity, but with non-compliance and heterogeneous treatment effects a binary instrument generally identifies the local average treatment effect (LATE) among compliers rather than the population average treatment effect (ATE). When treatment effects and compliance probabilities are heterogeneous and dependent through latent factors, the ATE need not be identified by IV variation alone. We develop a proximal…
条件矩限制的局部稳健核设定检验
We develop kernel-based specification tests for semiparametric conditional moment models with high-dimensional nuisance parameters, extending existing conditional moment tests---which typically require asymptotically linear nuisance estimators---to accommodate modern machine-learning methods. The proposed locally robust kernel tests combine Neyman-orthogonal moments, cross-fitting, and reproducing kernel Hilbert space methods, yielding inference that is first-order…
半参数推断的 V 折刀切法:方差、置信区间与同时置信带
For decades, the bootstrap has been a default tool for statistical inference because of its broad applicability and minimal analytic requirements. Although its validity is well understood for smooth parametric estimators, its theoretical properties for many modern semiparametric and machine-learning estimators remain largely unstudied. Nevertheless, bootstrap procedures are often used routinely in such settings, even when their validity is unknown and their computational…
高阶有效估计量:综述与模拟基准研究
Higher-order efficient estimators extend standard first-order semiparametric estimators by replacing second-order residuals with third- or higher-order terms, potentially enabling asymptotic efficiency under slower nuisance function convergence rates and improving finite-sample performance. Existing methods achieve higher-order expansions through structurally different approximation strategies, including basis truncation, kernel smoothing, and highly adaptive lasso (HAL)…
