Policy Relevant Treatment Effects with Multidimensional Unobserved Heterogeneity
多维未观测异质性下的政策相关处理效应
This paper provides a unified framework for bounding policy relevant treatment effects using instrumental variables. In this framework, the treatment selection may depend on multidimensional unobserved heterogeneity. We derive bilinear constraints on the target parameter by extracting information from identifiable estimands. We apply a convex relaxation method to these bilinear constraints and provide conservative yet computationally simple bounds. Our convex-relaxation…
