Estimation of average treatment effects based on propensity scores
In this paper, we give a short overview of some propensity score matching estimators suggested in the evaluation literature and we provide a set of Stata programs which we illustrate using the National Supported Work (NSW) demonstration widely known in labor economics.
متن کاملBootstrap Confidence Intervals for the Estimation of Average Treatment Effect on Propensity Score
Funded by collage st. innovative projects Received: January 21, 2011 Accepted: February 10, 2011 doi:10.5539/jmr.v3n3p52 Abstract Causal inferences on the average treatment effect in observational studies are always difficult problems because the distributions of samples in the two treatment groups can not be observed at the same time, and the estimation of the treatment effect is often biased....
متن کاملassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
Doubly robust estimation of the local average treatment effect curve.
We consider estimation of the causal effect of a binary treatment on an outcome, conditionally on covariates, from observational studies or natural experiments in which there is a binary instrument for treatment. We describe a doubly robust, locally efficient estimator of the parameters indexing a model for the local average treatment effect conditionally on covariates V when randomization of t...
متن کاملEfficient Estimation of Average Treatment Effects Using the Estimated Propensity Score1
We are interested in estimating the average effect of a binary treatment on a scalar outcome. If assignment to the treatment is exogenous or unconfounded, that is, independent of the potential outcomes given covariates, biases associated with simple treatment-control average comparisons can be removed by adjusting for differences in the covariates. Rosenbaum and Rubin (1983) show that adjusting...
