Stochastic treatment choice with empirical welfare updating
T Kitagawa, H Lopez, J Rowley - arXiv preprint arXiv:2211.01537, 2022 - arxiv.org
This paper proposes a novel method to estimate individualised treatment assignment rules.
The method is designed to find rules that are stochastic, reflecting uncertainty in estimation …

Statistical Treatment Rules under Social Interaction
In this paper we study treatment assignment rules in the presence of social interaction. We
construct an analytical framework under the anonymous interaction assumption, where the …

Orthogonal policy learning under ambiguity
R d'Adamo - arXiv preprint arXiv:2111.10904, 2021 - arxiv.org
This paper studies the problem of estimating individualized treatment rules when treatment
effects are partially identified, as it is often the case with observational data. By drawing …
