New methods estimate treatment effects with unknown confounders

A new paper by Takahide Yanagi introduces methods for estimating treatment effects in dyadic data, even when confounding factors are unknown. The approach leverages graphon estimation from network analysis and proposes a neighborhood kernel smoothing method for estimating average treatment effects. The research also includes conformal inference techniques for outcome prediction and is applied to international trade data to analyze the impact of free trade agreements. AI

    Estimating Dyadic Treatment Effects with Unknown Confounders

    arXiv:2405.16547v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper proposes estimation and inference methods for assessing treatment effects with dyadic data. Under the assumption that the treatments follow an exchangeable distribution, our approach allows for the presence of a…
