When is a Match Sufficient? A Score-based Balance Metric for the Synthetic Control Method

Journal of Causal Inference, 2020
In some applications, researchers using the synthetic control method (SCM) to evaluate the effect of a policy may struggle to determine whether they have identified a “good match” between the control group and treated group. In this paper, we demonstrate

Direct Effects under Differential Misclassification in Outcomes, Exposures, and Mediators

Journal of Causal Inference, 2020
Direct effects in mediation analysis quantify the effect of an exposure on an outcome not mediated by a certain intermediate. When estimating direct effects through measured data, misclassification may occur in the outcomes, exposures, and mediators.

Estimating the effects of staggered interventions with count and binary outcomes: a simulation study

Journal of Causal Inference
Difference-in-Differences and Event-Study regression estimators are commonly used to estimate treatment effects. However, when effects are heterogeneous, the standard two-way fixed effects (TWFE) regression can provide biased estimates. Recent literature

Targeting mediating mechanisms of social disparities with an interventional effects framework, applied to the gender pay gap in Western Germany

Journal of Causal Inference
The Oaxaca-Blinder (OB) decomposition is a widely used method to explain social disparities. However, assigning causal meaning to its estimated components requires strong assumptions that often lack explicit justification.

Causal inference with textual data: A quasi-experimental design assessing the association between author metadata and acceptance among ICLR submissions from 2017 to 2022

Journal of Causal Inference
Many recent studies have probed status bias in the peer-review process of academic journals and conferences. In this article, we investigated the association between author metadata and area chairs’ final decisions (Accept/Reject) using our compiled ...
