摘要我们讨论了政策选择模型(治疗分配)中“我们能得到什么”(识别)和“我们想要什么”(感兴趣的参数)之间的紧张关系。我们感兴趣的非标准经验对象是反事实政策的排名。治疗效果的部分识别映射到治疗分配政策的部分福利排名。我们确定的排名,并显示如何识别的排名取决于识别假设,可行的政策集,和分布偏好。星星计划实验的应用说明了这种依赖性。本文将部分辨识、鲁棒统计和选择等方面的文献结合起来,对不确定性下的鲁棒性问题进行了研究。
Abstract We discuss the tension between “what we can get” (identification) and “what we want” (parameters of interest) in models of policy choice (treatment assignment). Our nonstandard empirical object of interest is the ranking of counterfactual policies. Partial identification of treatment effects maps into a partial welfare ranking of treatment assignment policies. We characterize the identified ranking and show how the identifiability of the ranking depends on identifying assumptions, the feasible policy set, and distributional preferences. An application to the project STAR experiment illustrates this dependence. This paper connects the literatures on partial identification, robust statistics, and choice under Knightian uncertainty.
