In bcallaway11/csabounds: Bounds on Distributional Treatment Effect Parameters

l.inner

Description

Obtains the lower bound on the Distribution of the Treatment Effect for the Treated (DoTT), DoTT(delt) under the Copula Stability Assumption. These are generic in the sense that it is going to work without the CSA or with or without covariates. You just need to provide a vector of distributions – if there are no covariates, all of these distributions are going to be the same and there is not going to be any tightening of the bounds. If there are covariates or otherwise conditional distributions (e.g. coming from CSA), then same computational approach will work, but it will also lead to (potentially) tighter bounds.

Usage

l.inner(delt, y.seq, F.y1, F.y0)

Arguments

delt	the value to obtain the DoTT for
y.seq	possible values of y
F.y1	list of distributions of treated outcomes for the treated group (length of list should be n_1)
F.y0	list of distributions of counterfactual untreated outcomes for the treated group (length of list should be n_1)

Value

the value of the lower bound of DoTT(
