Treatment bootstrapping: A new approach to quantify uncertainty of average treatment effect estimates
处理组自助法:量化匹配处理效应估计的不确定性
This paper proposes a new non-parametric bootstrap method to quantify the uncertainty of average treatment effect estimate for the treated from matching estimators. More specifically, it seeks to quantify the uncertainty associated with the average treatment effect estimate for the treated by bootstrapping the treatment group only and finding the counterpart control group by pair matching on estimated propensity score without replacement. We demonstrate the validity of this…
