检验观测数据中因果效应的识别

研究问题
在特定因果结构下,能否利用疑似工具变量与结果在给定处理及协变量后的条件独立性,检验处理效应识别的含义?
方法与思路
作者分析该条件独立性在所设因果结构下对工具变量有效性及处理无混杂性的含义,并提出机器学习检验、模拟和应用。
材料陈述的贡献
摘要称该可检验条件在指定结构下同时蕴含工具变量有效与处理无混杂;生育和女性劳动供给应用大体显示该含义被违反。
阅读关注点
应核对因果结构及推导所需附加条件、条件独立检验的渐近性质与功效,并区分拒绝和不拒绝对识别判断的意义。
阅读边界
这是 arXiv 预印本,同行评审或接收未核实。摘要未给出具体因果结构和全部条件,不能推广为任意观测数据都能检验无混杂。

原文摘要

This study demonstrates the existence of a testable condition for the identification of the causal effect of a treatment on an outcome in observational data, which relies on two sets of variables: observed covariates to be controlled for and a suspected instrument. Under a causal structure commonly found in empirical applications, the testable conditional independence of the suspected instrument and the outcome given the treatment and the covariates has two implications. First, the instrument is valid, i.e. it does not directly affect the outcome (other than through the treatment) and is unconfounded conditional on the covariates. Second, the treatment is unconfounded conditional on the covariates such that the treatment effect is identified. We suggest tests of this conditional independence based on machine learning methods that account for covariates in a data-driven way and investigate their asymptotic behavior and finite sample performance in a simulation study. We also apply our testing approach to evaluating the impact of fertility on female labor supply when using the sibling sex ratio of the first two children as supposed instrument, which by and large points to a violation of our testable implication for the moderate set of socio-economic covariates considered.
