ATE, ATET definitions
p9
QTE definition
p9 assumpton!
DiNardo Lee criteria
behavioural models consist, quality descrip assign mech, testability of implications
Sample means ATE randomized experim
p10 ate = atet
Regression ATE randomized experiments ZCM
need for beta, for delta only need E |X = E |X, D
Bad controls
not pre-determined, affected by treatment
Heteo ATE experiments
E Y|X - EY|X, D indep X ate=atet. Stratify sample or OLS formula p10
MDE formula
p11
Budget MDE
p/1+p = sqrt cost data/cost data+ cost treatment
Dinardo random experime
know treat, no form restrict, testable ex X balanced
Threats random ex and sutva
Hawthorne, spillover, substitution. SUTVA participating not affect potential outcomes
Switching regression potential outcomes vs IV
p12
Monotonicity
D_i(1) >= D_i (0)
LATE
p13
Dinardo LATE
known ass mech, consist beh but not testable excl restri
Counterfactual distributions and means
p14
Panel DiD pros
treatment continuous, SE, time-varying regressors
Ashenfelter dip
select bc doing bad randomly, break str exog
Prove str exog DiD
compare pre-interv outcomes conditional on FE, placebo treatments randomly
Event study specification
p16, how tr eff changes after intervention, excludes never treated. Still homo tr eff across groups
MTE(S)
p17
McCrary test
density of S around Sbar
Treatment effect regr kink
last
Causal effect kink
