Using propensity scores to estimate effects of treatment initiation decisions: state of the science
Confounding can cause substantial bias in nonexperimental studies that aim to estimate
causal effects. Propensity score methods allow researchers to reduce bias from measured …

Causal effect inference for structured treatments
We address the estimation of conditional average treatment effects (CATEs) for structured
treatments (eg, graphs, images, texts). Given a weak condition on the effect, we propose the …
