Changes-In-Changes For Discrete Treatment
This paper generalizes the changes-in-changes (CIC) model to handle discrete treatments with more than two categories, extending the binary case of Athey and Imbens (2006). While the original CIC model is well-suited for binary treatments, it cannot accommodate multi-category discrete treatments often found in economic and policy settings. Although recent work has extended CIC to continuous treatments, there remains a gap for multi-category discrete treatments. I introduce a generalized CIC model that adapts the rank invariance assumption to multiple treatment levels, allowing for robust modeling while capturing the distinct effects of varying treatment intensities.

Doubly Robust Identification of Causal Effects of a Continuous Treatment using Discrete Instruments
Many empirical applications estimate causal effects of a continuous endogenous variable (treatment) using a binary instrument. Estimation is typically done through linear 2SLS. This approach requires a mean treatment cha…
validChanges-in-Changes for Ordered Choice Models: Too Many "False Zeros"?
In this paper, we develop a Difference-in-Differences model for discrete, ordered outcomes, building upon elements from a continuous Changes-in-Changes model. We focus on outcomes derived from self-reported survey data e…
Pulmonary vessel tree matching for quantifying changes in vascular morphology
Invasive right-sided heart catheterization (RHC) is currently the gold standard for assessing treatment effects in pulmonary vascular diseases, such as chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Quantifying m…
Estimating Discontinuous Time-Varying Risk Factors and Treatment Benefits for COVID-19 with Interpretable ML
Treatment protocols, disease understanding, and viral characteristics changed over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic; as a result, the risks associated with patient comorbidities and biomarkers also changed. We add to …
Additive modelsGroup-Heterogeneous Changes-in-Changes and Distributional Synthetic Controls
We develop new methods for changes-in-changes and distributional synthetic controls when there exists group level heterogeneity. For changes-in-changes, we allow individuals to belong to a large number of heterogeneous g…
