Inference for Interval-Identified Parameters Selected from an Estimated Set
Interval identification of parameters such as average treatment effects, average partial effects and welfare is particularly common when using observational data and experimental data with imperfect compliance due to the endogeneity of individuals' treatment uptake. In this setting, the researcher is typically interested in a treatment or policy that is either selected from the estimated set of best-performers or arises from a data-dependent selection rule. In this paper, we develop new inference tools for interval-identified parameters chosen via these forms of selection. We develop three types of confidence intervals for data-dependent and interval-identified parameters, discuss how they apply to several examples of interest and prove their uniform asymptotic validity under weak assumptions.

Confidence Intervals for Selected Parameters
Practical or scientific considerations often lead to selecting a subset of parameters as ``important.'' Inferences about those parameters often are based on the same data used to select them in the first place. That can …
Calibrated Projection in MATLAB: Users' Manual
We present the calibrated-projection MATLAB package implementing the method to construct confidence intervals proposed by Kaido, Molinari and Stoye (2017). This manual provides details on how to use the package for infer…
Model-Agnostic Covariate-Assisted Inference on Partially Identified Causal Effects
Many causal estimands are only partially identifiable since they depend on the unobservable joint distribution between potential outcomes. Stratification on pretreatment covariates can yield sharper bounds; however, unle…
Causal InferencevalidRanking Inferences Based on the Top Choice of Multiway Comparisons
This paper considers ranking inference of $n$ items based on the observed data on the top choice among $M$ randomly selected items at each trial. This is a useful modification of the Plackett-Luce model for $M$-way ranki…
validOn the power properties of inference for parameters with interval identified sets
This paper studies the power properties of confidence intervals (CIs) for a partially-identified parameter of interest with an interval identified set. We assume the researcher has bounds estimators to construct the CIs …
