Fair and Robust Estimation of Heterogeneous Treatment Effects for Policy Learning
We propose a simple and general framework for nonparametric estimation of heterogeneous treatment effects under fairness constraints. Under standard regularity conditions, we show that the resulting estimators possess the double robustness property. We use this framework to characterize the trade-off between fairness and the maximum welfare achievable by the optimal policy. We evaluate the methods in a simulation study and illustrate them in a real-world case study.

Deep Learning of Continuous and Structured Policies for Aggregated Heterogeneous Treatment Effects
As estimation of Heterogeneous Treatment Effect (HTE) is increasingly adopted across a wide range of scientific and industrial applications, the treatment action space can naturally expand, from a binary treatment variab…
Effect or Treatment Heterogeneity? Policy Evaluation with Aggregated and Disaggregated Treatments
Binary treatments are often ex-post aggregates of multiple treatments or can be disaggregated into multiple treatment versions. Thus, effects can be heterogeneous due to either effect or treatment heterogeneity. We propo…
Forecasted Treatment Effects
We consider estimation and inference of the effects of a policy in the absence of a control group. We obtain unbiased estimators of individual (heterogeneous) treatment effects and a consistent and asymptotically normal …
