Estimating Heterogeneous Treatment Effects and the Effects of Heterogeneous Treatments with Ensemble Methods
Randomized experiments are increasingly used to study political phenomena because they can credibly estimate the average effect of a treatment on a population of interest. But political scientists are often interested in how effects vary across sub-populations— heterogeneous treatment effects —and how differences in the content of the treatment affects responses—the response to heterogeneous tr...
متن کاملPenalized Quantile Regression Estimation for a Model with Endogenous Individual Effects
Abstract. This paper proposes a penalized quantile regression estimator for panel data that explicitly considers individual heterogeneity associated with the covariates. We provide conditions under which the estimator is asymptotically Gaussian, and the harshness of the penalization can be determined by minimizing asymptotic mean squared error. We investigate finite sample and asymptotic perfor...
متن کاملEstimation and Inference of Heterogeneous Treatment Effects using Random Forests∗
Many scientific and engineering challenges—ranging from personalized medicine to customized marketing recommendations—require an understanding of treatment effect heterogeneity. In this paper, we develop a non-parametric causal forest for estimating heterogeneous treatment effects that extends Breiman’s widely used random forest algorithm. Given a potential outcomes framework with unconfoundedn...
متن کاملthe effects of cooperative versus individual directed reading thinking activities on students inferential and referential questions
two groups of students were assigned as experimental and control ones, and were given instruction on directed reading-thinking activities and after some treatment, they were post-tested. although the initial pre-test did not show any significant differences, the final post-test result revealed that the cooperative reading comprehension helped the experimental group. the cooperative students’...
15 صفحه اولInstrumental Variables for Binary Treatments with Heterogeneous Treatment Effects: A Simple Exposition
This note provides a simple exposition of what IV can and cannot estimate in a model with a binary treatment variable and heterogeneous treatment effects. It shows how linear IV is a misspecification of functional form and the reason why linear IV estimates for this model will always depend on the instrument used is because of this misspecification. It shows that if one can estimate the correct...
