We develop the first empirically implementable selective-inference framework for difference-in-differences with controls selected by pre-treatment fit. We construct confidence intervals for the average treatment effect on the treated (ATT), incorporating that selection and estimating the unknown full covariance from the same observations. Counterexamples establish undercoverage from Roth's fixed-comparison pretest adjustment and direct Gaussian-score application of…

合成双重差分中固定目标集合异质性的共享供体推断AI 解读

Empirical studies often estimate several synthetic-control or synthetic Difference-in-Differences effects from a common donor pool and then summarize their heterogeneity. Because the same donors enter several comparisons, the first-stage errors are jointly distributed and affect different targets differently. We characterize three regimes for linear fixed-set summaries: nonconcentration, root-rate donor exposure, and donornegligibility. We also show that removing…

通过 Riesz 表示构建现代因果面板估计量的贝叶斯稳健性值AI 解读

We develop a sensitivity-analysis workflow for causal panel estimators, covering synthetic difference-in-differences, matrix completion, fixed-effect imputation, and group-time average treatment effects. The workflow combines Riesz-representation omitted-variable-bias bounds with partial-$R^2$ robustness values and separates two reporting routes. Route A gives a direct sensitivity profile for additive or projected confounding summarized by outcome-side and Riesz-side partial…

面板数据模型中辅助性—充分性交织 MCMC 的收敛速率AI 解读

Improving Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm efficiency is essential for enhancing computational speed and inferential accuracy in Bayesian analysis. These improvements can be effectively achieved using the ancillarity-sufficiency interweaving strategy (ASIS), an effective means of achieving such gains. Herein, we provide the first rigorous theoretical justification for applying ASIS in Bayesian hierarchical panel data models. Asymptotic analysis demonstrated that when the…

条件期望函数之比的正交级数估计AI 解读

In various fields of data science, researchers are often interested in estimating the ratio of conditional expectation functions (CEFR). Specifically in causal inference problems, it is sometimes natural to consider ratio-based treatment effects, such as odds ratios and hazard ratios, and even difference-based treatment effects are identified as CEFR in some empirically relevant settings. This chapter develops the general framework for estimation and inference on CEFR, which…
