Network dependence can lead to spurious associations and invalid inference

Y Lee, EL Ogburn - Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2021 - Taylor & Francis

Randomized graph cluster randomization

J Ugander, H Yin - Journal of Causal Inference, 2023 - degruyter.com
The global average treatment effect (GATE) is a primary quantity of interest in the study of
causal inference under network interference. With a correctly specified exposure model of …

Experimental design under network interference

D Viviano - arXiv preprint arXiv:2003.08421, 2020 - arxiv.org

effects that bleed out into space in complex ways that overlap and in violation of the …

Policy targeting under network interference

D Viviano - Review of Economic Studies, 2024 - academic.oup.com
This article studies the problem of optimally allocating treatments in the presence of spillover
effects, using information from a (quasi-) experiment. I introduce a method that maximizes …

Identification and estimation of causal peer effects using double negative controls for unmeasured network confounding

N Egami, EJ Tchetgen Tchetgen - Journal of the Royal Statistical …, 2024 - academic.oup.com

Causal inference with misspecified exposure mappings: separating definitions and assumptions

F Sävje - Biometrika, 2024 - academic.oup.com
