3. Models

The DoubleML includes the following models.

3.1. Partially linear regression model (PLR)

Partially linear regression (PLR) models take the form

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}Y = D \theta_0 + g_0(X) + \zeta, & &\mathbb{E}(\zeta | D,X) = 0,\\D = m_0(X) + V, & &\mathbb{E}(V | X) = 0,\end{aligned}\end{align} \]

where \(Y\) is the outcome variable and \(D\) is the policy variable of interest. The high-dimensional vector \(X = (X_1, \ldots, X_p)\) consists of other confounding covariates, and \(\zeta\) and \(V\) are stochastic errors.

3.3. Interactive regression model (IRM)

Interactive regression (IRM) models take the form

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}Y = g_0(D, X) + U, & &\mathbb{E}(U | X, D) = 0,\\D = m_0(X) + V, & &\mathbb{E}(V | X) = 0,\end{aligned}\end{align} \]

where the treatment variable is binary, \(D \in \lbrace 0,1 \rbrace\). We consider estimation of the average treatment effects when treatment effects are fully heterogeneous. Target parameters of interest in this model are the average treatment effect (ATE),

\[\theta_0 = \mathbb{E}[g_0(1, X) - g_0(0,X)]\]

and the average treatment effect of the treated (ATTE),

\[\theta_0 = \mathbb{E}[g_0(1, X) - g_0(0,X) | D=1].\]

3.4. Interactive IV model (IIVM)

Interactive IV regression (IIVM) models take the form

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}Y = \ell_0(D, X) + \zeta, & &\mathbb{E}(\zeta | Z, X) = 0,\\Z = m_0(X) + V, & &\mathbb{E}(V | X) = 0,\end{aligned}\end{align} \]

where the treatment variable is binary, \(D \in \lbrace 0,1 \rbrace\) and the instrument is binary, \(Z \in \lbrace 0,1 \rbrace\). Consider the functions \(g_0\), \(r_0\) and \(m_0\), where \(g_0\) maps the support of \((Z,X)\) to \(\mathbb{R}\) and \(r_0\) and \(m_0\) respectively map the support of \((Z,X)\) and \(X\) to \((\varepsilon, 1-\varepsilon)\) for some \(\varepsilon \in (0, 1/2)\), such that

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}Y = g_0(Z, X) + \nu, & &\mathbb{E}(\nu | Z, X) = 0,\\D = r_0(Z, X) + U, & &\mathbb{E}(U | Z, X) = 0,\\Z = m_0(X) + V, & &\mathbb{E}(V | X) = 0.\end{aligned}\end{align} \]

The target parameter of interest in this model is the local average treatment effect (LATE),

\[\theta_0 = \frac{\mathbb{E}[g_0(1, X)] - \mathbb{E}[g_0(0,X)]}{\mathbb{E}[r_0(1, X)] - \mathbb{E}[r_0(0,X)]}.\]

3.5. Difference-in-Differences Models (DID)

Difference-in-Differences Models (DID) implemented in the package focus on the the binary treatment case with with two treatment periods.

Adopting the notation from Sant’Anna and Zhao (2020), let \(Y_{it}\) be the outcome of interest for unit \(i\) at time \(t\). Further, let \(D_{it}=1\) indicate if unit \(i\) is treated before time \(t\) (otherwise \(D_{it}=0\)). Since all units start as untreated (\(D_{i0}=0\)), define \(D_{i}=D_{i1}.\) Relying on the potential outcome notation, denote \(Y_{it}(0)\) as the outcome of unit \(i\) at time \(t\) if the unit did not receive treatment up until time \(t\) and analogously for \(Y_{it}(1)\) with treatment. Consequently, the observed outcome for unit is \(i\) at time \(t\) is \(Y_{it}=D_{it} Y_{it}(1) + (1-D_{it}) Y_{it}(0)\). Further, let \(X_i\) be a vector of pre-treatment covariates.

Target parameter of interest is the average treatment effect on the treated (ATTE)

\[\theta_0 = \mathbb{E}[Y_{i1}(1)- Y_{i1}(0)|D_i=1].\]

The corresponding identifying assumptions are

• (Cond.) Parallel Trends: \(\mathbb{E}[Y_{i1}(0) - Y_{i0}(0)|X_i, D_i=1] = \mathbb{E}[Y_{i1}(0) - Y_{i0}(0)|X_i, D_i=0]\quad a.s.\)

• Overlap: \(\exists\epsilon > 0\): \(P(D_i=1) > \epsilon\) and \(P(D_i=1|X_i) \le 1-\epsilon\quad a.s.\)

Note

For a more detailed introduction and recent developments of the difference-in-differences literature see e.g. Roth et al. (2022).

3.5.1. Panel data

If panel data are available, the observations are assumed to be iid. of form \((Y_{i0}, Y_{i1}, D_i, X_i)\). Remark that the difference \(\Delta Y_i= Y_{i1}-Y_{i0}\) has to be defined as the outcome y in the DoubleMLData object.

3.5.2. Repeated cross-sections

For repeated cross-sections, the observations are assumed to be iid. of form \((Y_{i}, D_i, X_i, T_i)\), where \(T_i\) is a dummy variable if unit \(i\) is observed pre- or post-treatment period, such that the observed outcome can be defined as

\[Y_i = T_i Y_{i1} + (1-T_i) Y_{i0}.\]

Further, treatment and covariates are assumed to be stationary, such that the joint distribution of \((D,X)\) is invariant to \(T\).

DoubleMLIDIDCS implements difference-in-differences models for repeated cross-sections. Estimation is conducted via its fit() method:

Python

In [62]: import numpy as np

In [63]: import doubleml as dml

In [64]: from doubleml.datasets import make_did_SZ2020

In [65]: from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor, RandomForestClassifier

In [66]: ml_g = RandomForestRegressor(n_estimators=100, max_depth=5, min_samples_leaf=5)

In [67]: ml_m = RandomForestClassifier(n_estimators=100, max_depth=5, min_samples_leaf=5)

In [68]: np.random.seed(42)

In [69]: data = make_did_SZ2020(n_obs=500, cross_sectional_data=True, return_type='DataFrame')

In [70]: obj_dml_data = dml.DoubleMLData(data, 'y', 'd', t_col='t')

In [71]: dml_did_obj = dml.DoubleMLDIDCS(obj_dml_data, ml_g, ml_m)

In [72]: print(dml_did_obj.fit())
