Recent developments in partial identification

B Kline, E Tamer - Annual Review of Economics, 2023 - annualreviews.org
Identification strategies concern what can be learned about the value of a parameter based
on the data and the model assumptions. The literature on partial identification is motivated …

Identifying prediction mistakes in observational data

A Rambachan - The Quarterly Journal of Economics, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Decision makers, such as doctors, judges, and managers, make consequential choices
based on predictions of unknown outcomes. Do these decision makers make systematic …

Generalizing the Results from Social Experiments: Theory and Evidence from India

M Gechter - Journal of Business & Economic Statistics, 2024 - Taylor & Francis
How informative are treatment effects estimated in one region or time period for another
region or time? In this article, I derive bounds on the average treatment effect in a context of …

Inference for linear conditional moment inequalities

I Andrews, J Roth, A Pakes - Review of Economic Studies, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We show that moment inequalities in a wide variety of economic applications have a
particular linear conditional structure. We use this structure to construct uniformly valid …

Model-agnostic covariate-assisted inference on partially identified causal effects

W Ji, L Lei, A Spector - arXiv preprint arXiv:2310.08115, 2023 - arxiv.org
Many causal estimands are only partially identifiable since they depend on the
unobservable joint distribution between potential outcomes. Stratification on pretreatment …

[PDF][PDF] Policy learning with new treatments

S Higbee - arXiv preprint arXiv:2210.04703, 2023 - aeaweb.org
I study the problem of a decision maker choosing a policy which allocates treatment to a
heterogeneous population on the basis of experimental data that includes only a subset of …

Moment inequalities and partial identification in industrial organization

B Kline, A Pakes, E Tamer - Handbook of Industrial Organization, 2021 - Elsevier
We review approaches to identification and inference on models in Industrial Organization
with partial identification and/or moment inequalities. Often, such approaches are …

Inference for Treatment Effects Conditional on Generalized Principal Strata using Instrumental Variables

Y Bai, S Huang, S Moon, A Santos, AM Shaikh… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
In a setting with a multi-valued outcome, treatment and instrument, this paper considers the
problem of inference for a general class of treatment effect parameters. The class of …

Counterfactual identification and latent space enumeration in discrete outcome models

J Gu, T Russell, T Stringham - Available at SSRN 4188109, 2024 - papers.ssrn.com
This paper provides a unified framework for studying the identification of counterfactual

Lee Bounds with Multilayered Sample Selection

K Kroft, I Mourifié, A Vayalinkal - 2024 - nber.org
This paper investigates the causal effect of job training on wage rates in the presence of firm
heterogeneity. When training affects worker sorting to firms, sample selection is no longer …
