We study the question of how best to assign an encouragement in a randomized encouragement study. In our setting, units arrive with covariates, receive a nudge toward treatment or control, acquire one of those statuses in a way that need no...

David Ami Wulf et al.
When estimating the effects of medical therapies from their use outside of randomized trials, researchers often rely on assumptions that are difficult to justify and typically impossible to verify. The resulting estimates may thus be far fr...

Experimental and observational studies often lack validity due to untestable assumptions. We propose a double machine learning approach to combine experimental and observational studies, allowing practitioners to test for assumption violati...

Despite data from randomized trials demonstrating the benefits of tuberculosis preventive treatment (TPT) for people living with HIV, there remain gaps in the large-scale programmatic provision of TPT and understanding of its impact. The PR...

Within-study comparisons (WSCs) use real, rather than simulated, data to compare estimates from observational studies against benchmarks from randomized controlled trials (RCTs). A primary goal of WSCs is to assess whether well-designed qua...

While randomized trials are the gold standard in causal inference, observational studies are often conducted when trials are infeasible either due to logistical or ethical constraints. Since treatments are not randomized in observational st...
The interventionist approach can address questions related to causes of effects if causes are considered as states instead of interventions [0.03%]

The interventionist approach to causal inference recommends that observational studies be framed as randomized trials with well-defined interventions to more precisely define the population of interest, exposure comparisons, assignment proc...
