Inference on Optimal Treatment Assignments

Armstrong, Timothy - 2013

We consider inference on optimal treatment assignments. Our methods are the first to allow for inference on the treatment assignment rule that would be optimal given knowledge of the population treatment effect in a general setting. The procedure uses multiple hypothesis testing methods to...

Causal Analysis after Haavelmo

Heckman, James J. - 2013

Haavelmo's seminal 1943 paper is the first rigorous treatment of causality. In it, he distinguished the definition of causal parameters from their identification. He showed that causal parameters are de fined using hypothetical models that assign variation to some of the inputs determining...

The Triple Difference Estimator

Olden, Andreas - 2020

Triple difference has become a widely used estimator in empirical work. A close reading of articles in top economics … journals reveals that the use of the estimator to a large extent rests on intuition. The identifying assumptions are neither … formally derived nor generally agreed on. We give a complete presentation of the triple difference estimator, and show that …

Role of Information and its Processing in Statistical Analysis

Kim, Bryce - 2017

This paper discusses how real-life statistical analysis/inference deviates from ideal environments. More specifically, there often exist models that have equal statistical power as the actual data-generating model, given only limited information and information processing/computation capacity....
