Why Propensity Scores Should Not Be Used for Matching
We show that propensity score matching (PSM), an enormously popular method of preprocessing data for causal inference, often accomplishes the opposite of its intended goal—thus ...
On the Role of the Propensity Score in Efficient Semiparametric Estimation of Average Treatment Effects
In this paper, the role of the propensity score in the efficient estimation of average treatment effects is examined. Under the assumption that the treatment is ignorable given ...
Two-Stage Least Squares Estimation of Average Causal Effects in Models with Variable Treatment Intensity
Abstract Two-stage least squares (TSLS) is widely used in econometrics to estimate parameters in systems of linear simultaneous equations and to solve problems of omitted-variab...
Identification of Causal Effects Using Instrumental Variables
Abstract We outline a framework for causal inference in settings where assignment to a binary treatment is ignorable, but compliance with the assignment is not perfect so that t...
Revisiting Event-Study Designs: Robust and Efficient Estimation
Abstract We develop a framework for difference-in-differences designs with staggered treatment adoption and heterogeneous causal effects. We show that conventional regression-ba...
