Nonparametric estimation of heterogeneous treatment effects: From theory to learning algorithms
The need to evaluate treatment effectiveness is ubiquitous in most of empirical science, and
interest in flexibly investigating effect heterogeneity is growing rapidly. To do so, a multitude …

The causal-neural connection: Expressiveness, learnability, and inference
One of the central elements of any causal inference is an object called structural causal
model (SCM), which represents a collection of mechanisms and exogenous sources of …

Potential outcome and directed acyclic graph approaches to causality: Relevance for empirical practice in economics
GW Imbens - Journal of Economic Literature, 2020 - aeaweb.org
In this essay I discuss potential outcome and graphical approaches to causality, and their
relevance for empirical work in economics. I review some of the work on directed acyclic …

Diffusion causal models for counterfactual estimation
We consider the task of counterfactual estimation from observational imaging data given a
known causal structure. In particular, quantifying the causal effect of interventions for high …

Causality in econometrics: Choice vs chance
GW Imbens - Econometrica, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
This essay describes the evolution and recent convergence of two methodological
approaches to causal inference. The first one, in statistics, started with the analysis and …

On inductive biases for heterogeneous treatment effect estimation
We investigate how to exploit structural similarities of an individual's potential outcomes
(POs) under different treatments to obtain better estimates of conditional average treatment …
