Essays on Matching and Weighting for Causal Inference in Observational Studies by María de los Angeles Resa Juárez PDF Summary

Book Description: A simulation study with different settings is conducted to compare the proposed weighting scheme to IPTW, including generalized propensity score estimation methods that also consider explicitly the covariate balance problem in the probability estimation process. The applicability of the methods to continuous treatments is also tested. The results show that directly targeting balance with the weights, instead of focusing on estimating treatment assignment probabilities, provides the best results in terms of bias and root mean square error of the treatment effect estimator. The effects of the intensity level of the 2010 Chilean earthquake on posttraumatic stress disorder are estimated using the proposed methodology.
