A Sensitivity Analysis of the Surrogate Index Approach for Estimating Long-Term Treatment Effects
Yanqin Fan, Carlos A. Manzanares, Hyeonseok Park +1
This paper develops a sensitivity analysis of the surrogacy assumption for the surrogate index approach in Athey et al. [2025b]. We introduce "Weighted Surrogate Indices (WSIs)," t…

A Data-Driven State Aggregation Approach for Dynamic Discrete Choice Models
Sinong Geng, Houssam Nassif, Carlos A. Manzanares
We study dynamic discrete choice models, where a commonly studied problem involves estimating parameters of agent reward functions (also known as "structural" parameters), using ag…

Deep PQR: Solving Inverse Reinforcement Learning using Anchor Actions
Sinong Geng, Houssam Nassif, Carlos A. Manzanares +2
We propose a reward function estimation framework for inverse reinforcement learning with deep energy-based policies. We name our method PQR, as it sequentially estimates the Polic…
