Estimating Treatment Effects Using Observational Data and Experimental Data with Non-overlapping Support
结合支持集不重叠的观察数据与实验数据估计处理效应
When estimating treatment effects, the golden standard is to conduct a randomized experiment and then contrast outcomes associated with the treatment group and the control group. However, in many cases, randomized experiments are either conducted with a much smaller scale compared to the size of the target population or accompanied with certain ethical issues and thus hard to implement. Therefore, researchers usually rely on observational data to study causal connections.…
