Dana Burde, Joel Middleton, Cyrus Samii +1
This paper uses a "principal strata" approach to decompose treatment effects and interpret why a schooling intervention that yielded exceptional initial effects yielded substantial…
Spillover Effects in Experimental Data
Peter M. Aronow, Dean Eckles, Cyrus Samii +1
We present current methods for estimating treatment effects and spillover effects under "interference", a term which covers a broad class of situations in which a unit's outcome de…
From Local to Global: External Validity in a Fertility Natural Experiment
Rajeev Dehejia, Cristian Pop-Eleches, Cyrus Samii
We study issues related to external validity for treatment effects using over 100 replications of the Angrist and Evans (1998) natural experiment on the effects of sibling sex comp…
Evaluating Ex Ante Counterfactual Predictions Using Ex Post Causal Inference
Michael Gechter, Cyrus Samii, Rajeev Dehejia +1
We derive a formal, decision-based method for comparing the performance of counterfactual treatment regime predictions using the results of experiments that give relevant informati…
Retrospective Causal Inference with Machine Learning Ensembles: An Application to Anti-Recidivism Policies in Colombia
Cyrus Samii, Laura Paler, Sarah Zukerman Daly
We present new methods to estimate causal effects retrospectively from micro data with the assistance of a machine learning ensemble. This approach overcomes two important limitati…
