Treatment Effects with Multidimensional Unobserved Heterogeneity: Identification of the Marginal Treatment Effect
This paper establishes sufficient conditions for the identification of the marginal treatment effects with multivalued treatments. Our model is based on a multinomial choice model with utility maximization. Our MTE generalizes the MTE defined in Heckman and Vytlacil (2005) in binary treatment models. As in the binary case, we can interpret the MTE as the treatment effect for persons who are indifferent between two treatments at a particular level. Our MTE enables one to obtain the treatment effects of those with specific preference orders over the choice set. Further, our results can identify other parameters such as the marginal distribution of potential outcomes.

Identification in Multiple Treatment Models under Discrete Variation
We develop a method to learn about treatment effects in multiple treatment models with discrete-valued instruments. We allow selection into treatment to be governed by a general class of threshold crossing models that pe…
Identification of multi-valued treatment effects with unobserved heterogeneity
In this paper, we establish sufficient conditions for identifying treatment effects on continuous outcomes in endogenous and multi-valued discrete treatment settings with unobserved heterogeneity. We employ the monotonic…
Policy Relevant Treatment Effects with Multidimensional Unobserved Heterogeneity
This paper provides a unified framework for bounding policy relevant treatment effects using instrumental variables. In this framework, the treatment selection may depend on multidimensional unobserved heterogeneity. We …
InformativenessIdentifying Effects of Multivalued Treatments
Multivalued treatment models have typically been studied under restrictive assumptions: ordered choice, and more recently unordered monotonicity. We show how treatment effects can be identified in a more general class of…
Heterogeneous Coefficients, Control Variables, and Identification of Multiple Treatment Effects
Multidimensional heterogeneity and endogeneity are important features of models with multiple treatments. We consider a heterogeneous coefficients model where the outcome is a linear combination of dummy treatment variab…
