Average Treatment Effect
نویسنده
چکیده
We are interested in average changes in outcome y after a policy change. As in the case of the medical field, we are interested in the outcomes of a new medicine, including its effectiveness and its side effect. To do that, it is typical that we randomly divide patients into two groups, the treatment group, and the control group. The treatment group is given the medicine while the control group is given the “placebo”.
