Bartalotti, Otávio; Brummet, Quentin; Dieterle, Steven - 2019
average treatment effect of interest will typically fail. While the form of this measurement error varies across applications …, in many cases the measurement error structure is heterogeneous across different groups of observations. We develop a … novel measurement error correction procedure capable of addressing heterogeneous mismeasurement structures by leveraging …
