Functional Synthetic Control Methods for Metric Space-Valued Outcomes
Ryo Okano, Daisuke Kurisu
The synthetic control method (SCM) is a widely used tool for evaluating causal effects of policy changes in panel data settings. Recent studies have extended its framework to accom…
Regression Discontinuity Designs for Functional Data and Random Objects in Geodesic Spaces
Daisuke Kurisu, Yidong Zhou, Taisuke Otsu +1
Regression discontinuity designs (RDDs) are widely used for causal inference in observational studies with cutoff-based treatment assignment, primarily for Euclidean outcomes. We p…
Geodesic Synthetic Control Methods for Random Objects and Functional Data
Daisuke Kurisu, Yidong Zhou, Taisuke Otsu +1
We introduce a geodesic synthetic control method for causal inference with panel outcomes that are random objects in a geodesic metric space. Examples include distributions, compos…
Geodesic Difference-in-Differences
Yidong Zhou, Daisuke Kurisu, Taisuke Otsu +1
Difference-in-differences (DID) is a widely used quasi-experimental design for causal inference, traditionally applied to scalar or Euclidean outcomes, while extensions to outcomes…
Geodesic Causal Inference
Daisuke Kurisu, Yidong Zhou, Taisuke Otsu +1
Adjusting for confounding and imbalance when establishing statistical relationships is an increasingly important task, and causal inference methods have emerged as the most popular…
