Efficient Difference-in-Differences Estimation with High-Dimensional Common Trend Confounding
This study considers various semiparametric difference-in-differences models under different assumptions on the relation between the treatment group identifier, time and covariates for cross-sectional and panel data. The variance lower bound is shown to be sensitive to the model assumptions imposed implying a robustness-efficiency trade-off. The obtained efficient influence functions lead to estimators that are rate double robust and have desirable asymptotic properties under weak first stage convergence conditions. This enables to use sophisticated machine-learning algorithms that can cope with settings where common trend confounding is high-dimensional. The usefulness of the proposed estimators is assessed in an empirical example. It is shown that the efficiency-robustness trade-offs and the choice of first stage predictors can lead to divergent empirical results in practice.

CATE Lasso: Conditional Average Treatment Effect Estimation with High-Dimensional Linear Regression
In causal inference about two treatments, Conditional Average Treatment Effects (CATEs) play an important role as a quantity representing an individualized causal effect, defined as a difference between the expected outc…

We consider the problem of estimating high-dimensional Gaussian graphical models corresponding to a single set of variables under several distinct conditions. This problem is motivated by the task of recovering transcrip…
Explaining Groups of Points in Low-Dimensional Representations
A common workflow in data exploration is to learn a low-dimensional representation of the data, identify groups of points in that representation, and examine the differences between the groups to determine what they repr…
