The econometric literature on treatment-effects typically takes functionals of outcome-distributions as `social welfare' and ignores program-impacts on unobserved utilities. We show how to incorporate aggregate utility within econometric program-evaluation and optimal treatment-targeting for a heterogenous population. In the practically important setting of discrete-choice, under unrestricted preference-heterogeneity and income-effects, the indirect-utility distribution becomes a closed-form functional of average demand. This enables nonparametric cost-benefit analysis of policy-interventions and their optimal targeting based on planners' redistributional preferences. For ordered/continuous choice, utility-distributions can be bounded. Our methods are illustrated with Indian survey-data on private-tuition, where income-paths of usage-maximizing subsidies differ significantly from welfare-maximizing ones.
生育、子女性别与父母迁移决策:来自中国的证据
We study how the number and gender of children affect rural-tourban parental migration in China. Exploiting variation from the “1.5- child policy,” which allowed a second birth only if the firstborn was a girl, we separately identify the causal effects of fertility and child gender based on a novel semi-parametric method. Using the 2010 population census, we find that an additional child increases the likelihood of joint parental migration by 12.1 percent, while the presence…

We develop a Difference-in-Differences framework for discrete, ordered outcomes subject to underreporting. Such outcomes commonly arise in self-reported surveys on socially undesirable or stigmatized behaviors, where respondents may conceal their true behavior. For a discrete Changes-in-Changes model that is shown to admit an equivalent threshold-crossing representation, we derive nonparametric bounds for the counterfactual and factual outcome distributions as well as for…

随机潜在选择与潜在结果
Applied econometricians typically model each individual as having fixed outcomes under treatment and control and, in instrumental-variables (IV) settings, fixed treatment decisions under each value of the instrument. This paper asks what changes when outcomes and treatment allocations or choices are stochastic at the individual level. In the model, each individual has a stable (but possibly stochastic) response type consisting of two objects: a treatment choice probability…
利用因果森林估计出行方式转变的异质性
Objectives: While causal analysis of travel behavior is an emerging field, estimating heterogeneity in mode choice through causal modeling remains unexplored. This study demonstrates the application of a novel causal method, causal forest, to quantify the heterogeneity in travel mode choice shifts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We applied causal forests, a non-parametric causal machine learning method, to 802,935 trip records from the 2017 and 2022 waves of the…
Abstract We identify the distributional and quantile marginal treatment effect functions when the outcome is right-censored. Our method requires a conditionally exogenous instrument and random censoring. We propose asymptotically consistent semi-parametric estimators and valid inferential procedures for the target functions . To illustrate, we evaluate the effect of alternative sentences (fines and community service vs. no punishment) on recidivism in Brazil. Our results…
