I consider estimation of the average treatment effect (ATE), in a population composed of $G$ groups, when one has unbiased and uncorrelated estimators of each group's conditional average treatment effect (CATE). These conditions are met in stratified randomized experiments. I assume that the...

Instrumental variables (IVs) are commonly used to estimate the effects of some treatments. A valid IV should be as good as randomly assigned, it should not have a direct effect on the outcome, and it should not induce any unit to forgo treatment. This last condition, the so-called monotonicity...

We consider the estimation of the effect of a treatment, using panel data where groups of units are exposed to different doses of the treatment at different times. We consider two sets of parameters of interest. The first are the average effects of having changed treatment for the first time...

In many applications of the differences-in-differences (DID) method, the treatment increases more in the treatment group, but some units are also treated in the control group. In such fuzzy designs, a popular estimator of treatment effects is the DID of the outcome divided by the DID of the...
