Estimating the variance of a propensity score matching estimator for the average treatment effect
This study considers variance estimation when estimating the asymptotic variance of a propensity score matching estimator for the average treatment effect. We investigate the role of smoothing parameters in a variance estimator based on matching. We also study the properties of estimators using local linear estimation. Simulations demonstrate that large gains can be made in terms of mean square...
متن کاملEstimating Heterogeneous Treatment Effects in the Presence of Self-Selection: A Propensity Score Perspective*
An essential feature common to all empirical social research is variability across units of analysis. Individuals differ not only in background characteristics and outcomes of interest, but also in how they respond to a particular treatment, intervention, or stimulation. Moreover, individuals may self-select into treatment on the basis of their anticipated treatment effects. To study heterogene...
متن کاملEFFICIENT ESTIMATION OF AVERAGE TREATMENT EFFECTS USING THE ESTIMATED PROPENSITY SCORE BY KiEisuKE HIRANO,
We are interested in estimating the average effect of a binary treatment on a scalar outcome. If assignment o the treatment is exogenous or unconfounded, that is, independent of the potential outcomes given covariates, biases associated with simple treatmentcontrol average comparisons can be removed by adjusting for differences in the covariates. Rosenbaum and Rubin (1983) show that adjusting s...
متن کاملImproved Precision in Estimating Average Treatment Effects
The Average Treatment Effect (ATE) is a global measure of the effectiveness of an experimental treatment intervention. Classical methods of its estimation either ignore relevant covariates or do not fully exploit them. Moreover, past work has considered covariates as fixed. We present a method for improving the precision of the ATE estimate: the treatment and control responses are estimated via...
متن کاملEstimation 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.
