多值处理效应的识别

Identifying Effects of Multivalued Treatments
Econometrica · 2018 · Sokbae Lee、Bernard Salanié

中文摘要

多值处理模型迄今为止仅在限制性假设下得到研究:有序选择,或最近的无序单调性。我们展示了如何在更一般的模型类别中识别边际处理效应。我们的结果依赖于两个主要假设:处理分配必须是阈值跨越规则的可测函数;并且必须有足够多的连续工具变量可用。另一方面,我们不要求任何形式的单调性条件。我们在几个常用模型上阐释了我们的方法,并讨论了离散工具变量的识别力。

Abstract

Multivalued treatment models have only been studied so far under restrictive assumptions: ordered choice, or more recently unordered monotonicity. We show how marginal treatment effects can be identified in a more general class of models. Our results rely on two main assumptions: treatment assignment must be a measurable function of threshold-crossing rules; and enough continuous instruments must be available. On the other hand, we do not require any kind of monotonicity condition. We illustrate our approach on several commonly used models; and we also discuss the identification power of discrete instruments.
