合成控制模型的非参数可识别性与敏感性分析

研究问题
合成控制只能用干预前数据学习时,如何避免直接假定识别条件在干预前后始终成立,并评估假设违背对因果结论的影响?
方法与思路
作者在 Pearl 结构因果模型框架中表述合成控制,借助因果机制不变性讨论非参数识别,并构建假设违背的敏感性分析框架。
材料陈述的贡献
摘要称,识别可由因果机制不变性推出,并提供一般敏感性分析框架;作者用模拟和真实数据展示其在线性合成控制中的应用。
阅读关注点
核对机制不变性的具体含义、识别所需其他条件,以及敏感性参数怎样对应假设违背;检查线性示例与一般框架之间的关系。
阅读边界
所用版本为 arXiv 预印本,同行评审或接收未核实;摘要未列出完整识别条件,也不能据此判断所有干预后变化均可处理。

原文摘要

Quantifying cause and effect relationships is an important problem in many domains. The gold standard solution is to conduct a randomised controlled trial. However, in many situations such trials cannot be performed. In the absence of such trials, many methods have been devised to quantify the causal impact of an intervention from observational data given certain assumptions. One widely used method are synthetic control models. While identifiability of the causal estimand in such models has been obtained from a range of assumptions, it is widely and implicitly assumed that the underlying assumptions are satisfied for all time periods both pre- and post-intervention. This is a strong assumption, as synthetic control models can only be learned in pre-intervention period. In this paper we address this challenge, and prove identifiability can be obtained without the need for this assumption, by showing it follows from the principle of invariant causal mechanisms. Moreover, for the first time, we formulate and study synthetic control models in Pearl's structural causal model framework. Importantly, we provide a general framework for sensitivity analysis of synthetic control causal inference to violations of the assumptions underlying non-parametric identifiability. We end by providing an empirical demonstration of our sensitivity analysis framework on simulated and real data in the widely-used linear synthetic control framework.
