Endogenous Selection and Spillovers: Bayesian Inference for Policy-Relevant Causal Effects
内生选择与溢出:政策相关因果效应的贝叶斯推断
This paper develops a new econometric framework to identify and estimate policy-relevant causal effects in contexts with endogenous selection into treatment and spillovers within single large networks or spatial settings. Conventional causal inference methods relying on either unconfoundedness or no-interference assumptions are generally inadequate in these scenarios. We introduce a Spillover Roy model that jointly models endogenous treatment selection and potential outcomes…
