Political Science 236 Randomization inference
Most of this course will be devoted to the study of treatment effects in the absence of random assignment of subjects to treatments. As we will see, performing causal inference in the absence of random treatment assignment requires that we make fairly strong assumptions. In contrast, when treatment is assigned randomly, treatment effects can be estimated with very mild assumptions and, very imp...
متن کاملDecoupling, Sparsity, Randomization, and Objective Bayesian Inference
Decoupling is a general principle that allows us to separate simple components in a complex system. In statistics, decoupling is often expressed as independence, no association, or zero covariance relations. These relations are sharp statistical hypotheses, that can be tested using the FBST Full Bayesian Significance Test. Decoupling relations can also be introduced by some techniques of Design...
متن کاملRandomization Inference for Treatment Effect Variation
Applied researchers are increasingly interested in whether and how treatment effects vary in randomized evaluations, especially variation not explained by observed covariates. We propose a model-free approach for testing for the presence of such unexplained variation. To use this randomization-based approach, we must address the fact that the average treatment effect, generally the object of in...
متن کاملRandomization-Based Inference within Principal Strata.
In randomized studies, treatment comparisons conditional on intermediate post-randomization outcomes using standard analytic methods do not have a causal interpretation. An alternate approach entails treatment comparisons within principal strata defined by the potential outcomes for the intermediate outcome that would be observed under each treatment assignment. In this paper, we develop method...
متن کاملA Paradox From Randomization-Based Causal Inference
Under the potential outcomes framework, causal effects are defined as comparisons between potential outcomes under treatment and control. To infer causal effects from randomized experiments, Neyman proposed to test the null hypothesis of zero average causal effect (Neyman’s null), and Fisher proposed to test the null hypothesis of zero individual causal effect (Fisher’s null). Although the subt...
