Estimation and Inference for the Average Treatment Effect in a Score-Explained Heterogeneous Treatment Effect Model
分数解释型异质处理效应模型中的平均处理效应估计与推断
In many practical situations, randomly assigning treatments to subjects is uncommon due to feasibility constraints. For example, economic aid programs and merit-based scholarships are often restricted to those meeting specific income or exam score thresholds. In these scenarios, traditional approaches to estimating treatment effects typically focus solely on observations near the cutoff point, thereby excluding a significant portion of the sample and potentially leading to…
