跨异质地点的因果效应迁移估计
- 研究问题
- 已有多个实验地点的数据、目标地点仅有处理前基线资料时，如何将处理效应迁移至目标地点，并适应地点之间的异质性？
- 方法与思路
- 作者将基线视为函数型数据，在固定地点总体框架下非参数地选择有限维特征空间，并估计目标地点的条件平均处理效应。
- 材料陈述的贡献
- 摘要称，文章构造最优预测基底，给出相对受约束最优总体预测器的收敛率，并以五项多地点随机试验评估迁移收益。
- 阅读关注点
- 应核对跨地点迁移所需条件、基线函数的构造、特征空间约束，以及相对最优预测器的误差与实际迁移误差的区别。
- 阅读边界
- 仅据所给 RePEc 出版社摘要，未核对全文或其他版本；迁移识别条件和收益数值未说明，收敛目标受特征空间约束。
原文摘要
We consider the problem of extrapolating treatment effects across heterogeneous populations (“sites”/“contexts”). We consider an idealized scenario in which the researcher observes cross-sectional data for a large number of units across several “experimental” sites in which an intervention has already been implemented to a new “target” site for which a baseline survey of unit-specific, pre-treatment outcomes and relevant attributes is available. Our approach treats the baseline as functional data. This choice is motivated by the observation that unobserved site-specific confounders manifest themselves not only in average levels of outcomes, but also how these interact with observed unit-specific attributes. We consider the problem of determining the optimal finite-dimensional feature space in which to solve that prediction problem. We follow a fixed-population approach which evaluates the performance of the predictor given the specific, finite selection of experimental and target sites. Our approach is nonparametric, and our formal results concern the construction of an optimal basis of predictors as well as convergence rates for the estimated conditional average treatment effect relative to the constrained-optimal population predictor for the target site. We quantify the potential gains from adapting experimental estimates to a target location in an application to conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs using a combined data set from five multi-site randomized controlled trials.
