Causal Effects with Hidden Treatment Diffusion on Observed or Partially Observed Networks
观测或部分观测网络中隐藏处理扩散的因果效应
In randomized experiments, interactions between units might generate a treatment diffusion process. This is common when the treatment of interest is an actual object or product that can be shared among peers (e.g., flyers, booklets, videos). For instance, if the intervention of interest is an information campaign realized through the distribution of a video to targeted individuals, some of these treated individuals might share the video they received with their friends.
