This article develops methods for estimating treatment effects in mixed-effects models using outcome data gathered from serial dilution assays. Our application allows us to estimate the viral burden of HIV infection before and after antiviral treatment from cell dilution assays. This assay is designed to determine the infectious units per patient peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC). The infectious unit is the amount of virus required to produce detectable HIV infection in PBMC's from healthy, uninfected donors. At each dilution level of the patient cells, one observes whether or not it was possible for the virus from these cells to infect donor cells. Thus the assay result for each subject consists of a series of repeated binary outcomes. We propose an analytic approach in which patient-specific titers (measures of viral burden) are modeled as random effects from an unknown distribution, and treatment effects are modeled as fixed. This approach makes use of all assay results, even if many assays fail to reach endpoint (i.e., they turn negative at the highest dilution level) and the assay design (dilution scheme) changes over time.
伪面板事件研究:可信应用的计量经济学基础
Event studies with panel data are widely used to estimate treatment effects. With repeated cross-sections, future treatment dates are unobserved for untreated individuals. Pseudo-panel event studies impute pre-treatment outcomes of the treated using matched untreated individuals. This paper establishes identification in such designs and characterizes bias when identification conditions fail. I show that the pseudo-panel regression is equivalent to weighted least squares with…
平均处理效应局部化:合成控制中的投影方法
Many real-world policies and business interventions require assessing short-term effects to inform timely decisions, even though most causal inference methods focus on long-term average treatment effects. In this article, we introduce average treatment effect localization (ATEL), which captures localized, short-term policy impacts in panel data settings with a single treated unit and provides early indicators of policy impact. To accommodate both time-varying and nonlinear…
The bootstrap is widely used to construct confidence intervals but may perform poorly for some estimators. We consider semiparametric estimators that use cross-validation to estimate nuisance pa- rameters and can be computationally expensive in large datasets. We illustrate potential problems with bootstrapping with replacement when cross-validation is used and extend the cheap bootstrap confidence interval to subsampling without replacement for asymptotically linear…
不可观测异质性的去偏机器学习:高维面板与测量误差模型
Developing robust inference for models with nonparametric Unobserved Heterogeneity (UH) is both important and challenging. We propose novel Debiased Machine Learning (DML) procedures for valid inference on functionals of UH, allowing for partial identification of multivariate target and high-dimensional nuisance parameters. Our main contribution is a full characterization of all relevant Neyman-orthogonal moments in models with nonparametric UH, where relevance means…
大面板中的简洁、无需特定参数设定的因果推断
We propose a simple and transparent approach to causal inference using panel data with a large number of units and periods. Instead of imposing a particular parametric specification on the untreated potential outcomes, we assume they follow a nonparametric nonseparable factor model. We use long pre-treatment outcome histories to construct a measure of similarity between the latent factors of different units. Using this measure, we impute missing counterfactual means and…
双重差分与合成控制的结合:双重稳健识别和估计
Difference-in-Differences (DiD) and Synthetic Control (SC) are widely used methods for causal inference in panel data, each with distinct strengths and limitations. We propose a novel method for short-panel causal inference that integrates the advantages of both approaches. Our method delivers a doubly robust identification strategy for the average treatment effect on the treated (ATT) under either of two non-nested assumptions: parallel trends or a group-level SC condition.…
