Causal effects of monetary shocks : semiparametric conditional independence tests with a multinomial propensity score
Angrist, Joshua D. (contributor);  … - 2008
Macroeconomists have long been concerned with the causal effects of monetary policy. When the identification of causal effects is based on a selection-on-observables assumption, non-causality amounts to the conditional independence of outcomes and policy changes. This paper develops a...
