Effects of Conditional Cash Transfers (CCT) in Anti-Poverty Programs. An Empirical Approach with Panel Data for the Mexican Case of PROSPERA-Oportunidades (2002–2012)

Economies, 2018
Conditional Cash Transfer Programs (CCT) have been implemented in México and Latin America since the late 1990’s. This type of program focuses on providing social government services by way of direct cash transfers to poor families that are ...

On the Distinction Between "Conditional Average Treatment Effects" (CATE) and "Individual Treatment Effects" (ITE) Under Ignorability Assumptions

CoRR, 2021
Recent years have seen a swell in methods that focus on estimating "individual treatment effects". These methods are often focused on the estimation of heterogeneous treatment effects under ignorability assumptions. This paper hopes to draw attention to the fact that there is nothing necessarily "individual" about such effects under ignorability ...

Four‐Year Cognitive Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis: Associations With Lesion Myelin Integrity

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Cognitive impairment is prevalent in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) but whether lesion myelin integrity influences future cognitive outcomes remains unclear. We investigated the relationship between baseline lesion myelin water fraction (MWF) and cognitive performance 4 years later.

Beyond Cash: Assessing Externality and Behaviour Effects of Non-Experimental Cash Transfers [PDF]

In this paper we propose a method to estimate externality effects in cash transfer programmes, even in cases when the benefit is not randomly assigned. Externality is assessed through the decomposition of the average treatment effect on the treated (ATT)

Quantities of Interest for Interactions and the Pitfalls of Assuming Linear Treatment Effects

Sociological Science
Although quantitative social sciences often rely on estimating models in which treatment effects vary across groups, researchers rarely specify which causal quantity they aim to estimate or justify their empirical modeling choices. This article makes two

The Gut–Heart Axis in Systemic Sclerosis: Evidence From a Large Prospective Early Disease Cohort

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Cardiac involvement significantly impacts prognosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc), highlighting the need for early risk stratification. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common and often manifest early. Emerging data suggest a link between GI and cardiac manifestations, possibly through shared mechanisms like dysautonomia.

Evaluation of conditional treatment effect of salt stress on tomato sugar content using causal machine learning: A pilot study.

PLoS ONE
Exposing tomatoes to salt stress has been reported to increase the fruit sugar content (°Brix); however, the causal impact of this treatment under varying environmental conditions remains unclear.

Why do hospital prescribers continue antibiotics when it is safe to stop? Results of a choice experiment survey

BMC Medicine, 2020
Background Deciding whether to discontinue antibiotics at early review is a cornerstone of hospital antimicrobial stewardship practice worldwide. In England, this approach is described in government guidance (‘Start Smart then Focus’). However,
