Accuracy Limits of Causal Trees for Individualized Treatment Effects

Matias D. Cattaneo, Jason M. Klusowski, Ruiqi Rae Yu

Recursive decision trees are widely used to estimate heterogeneous causal treatment effects in experimental and observational studies. These methods are typically implemented using…

Estimation and Inference in Boundary Discontinuity Designs: Distance-Based Methods

Matias D. Cattaneo, Rocio Titiunik, Ruiqi Rae Yu

We study nonparametric distance-based (isotropic) local polynomial methods for estimating the boundary average treatment effect curve, a causal functional that captures treatment e…

Estimation and Inference in Boundary Discontinuity Designs: Location-Based Methods

Matias D. Cattaneo, Rocio Titiunik, Ruiqi Rae Yu

Boundary discontinuity designs are used to learn about causal treatment effects along a continuous assignment boundary that splits units into control and treatment groups according…

Boundary Discontinuity Designs: Theory and Practice

Matias D. Cattaneo, Rocio Titiunik, Ruiqi Rae Yu

The boundary discontinuity (BD) design is a non-experimental method for identifying causal effects that exploits a thresholding rule based on a bivariate score and a boundary curve…

Robust Inference for the Direct Average Treatment Effect with Treatment Assignment Interference

Matias D. Cattaneo, Yihan He, Ruiqi Rae Yu

This paper develops methods for uncertainty quantification in causal inference settings with random network interference. We study the large-sample distributional properties of the…

Strong Approximations for Empirical Processes Indexed by Lipschitz Functions

Matias D. Cattaneo, Ruiqi Rae Yu

This paper presents new uniform Gaussian strong approximations for empirical processes indexed by classes of functions based on -variate random vectors (). First, a unif…
