Estimation of Average Treatment Effects With Misclassification
This paper provides conditions for identification, and an associated estimator, of the average effect of a binary treatment or policy on a scalar outcome in models where treatment may be misclassified. Misclassification probabilities and the true probability of treatment are also identified. Misclassification occurs when treatment is measured with error, that is, some units are reported to have...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation of Average Treatment Effects under Exogeneity: A Review
Recently there has been a surge in econometric work focusing on estimating average treatment effects under various sets of assumptions. One strand of this literature has developed methods for estimating average treatment effects for a binary treatment under assumptions variously described as exogeneity, unconfoundedness, or selection on observables. The implication of these assumptions is that ...
متن کاملEstimation of average treatment effects based on propensity scores
In this paper, we give a short overview of some propensity score matching estimators suggested in the evaluation literature and we provide a set of Stata programs which we illustrate using the National Supported Work (NSW) demonstration widely known in labor economics.

aim : the objective of this study was to estimate the average cost of diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis c among patients based on their treatment regime, during the one course of treatment and six-month after stopping that. background : hepatitis c virus (hcv) infection is a major cause of liver-related morbidity and mortality worldwide and a major public health problem. patients and methods...
متن کاملThe effects of acoustic misclassification on cetacean species abundance estimation.
To estimate the density or abundance of a cetacean species using acoustic detection data, it is necessary to correctly identify the species that are detected. Developing an automated species classifier with 100% correct classification rate for any species is likely to stay out of reach. It is therefore necessary to consider the effect of misidentified detections on the number of observed data a...
