机器学习分布型工具变量估计中的模型风险

研究问题
在估计工具变量诱导接受处理者的分布型局部平均处理效应时,辅助学习器的选择如何影响效应曲线与推断可靠性?
方法与思路
作者实施约化式正交水平得分的双重机器学习估计,利用已知依从者真值的模拟及退休储蓄应用比较随机森林与KAN。
材料陈述的贡献
摘要称KAN在所测场景中更快,但随机森林通常更准确;应用曲线差异明显,KAN区间欠覆盖,提示需直接验证推断。
阅读关注点
应核对分布型效应的定义、辅助模型与交叉拟合实现、重叠及校准诊断,并区分点态区间与整条曲线的推断。
阅读边界

原文摘要

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 conclusions. In simulations with explicit monotone principal strata and known complier truth, Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) are faster than Random Forests in every scenario examined, but Random Forests usually produce more accurate D-IV-LATE curves. A targeted KAN ablation selects a width-64 KAN as the best KAN variant among those tested, but this is a speed/accuracy tradeoff rather than evidence of KAN dominance. In a 401(k) application, RF and KAN estimates differ materially, with frequent sign reversals along the estimated curve. The KAN instrument-propensity estimates also concentrate near the boundaries, so the KAN empirical curve is best read as sensitivity evidence. In inference validation, KAN pointwise intervals undercover badly under both asymptotic and bootstrap constructions, while RF asymptotic intervals are better calibrated in the validation designs. The main lesson is cautionary and constructive: speed and architectural flexibility are not enough for causal inference. Applied researchers using ML-based distributional IV estimators would be advised to benchmark nuisance learners, report overlap and calibration diagnostics, and validate inference directly.
