o Topic 1.1 – Econometrics of Causality and Experiments.
• Why Regressions?
Regressions estimate associations between variables (specifically, the conditional
expectation). Economists are interested in regression for various reasons, some are:
1. To predict ! from "! , . . . , "" . Actually, this is rarely used in economic research.
Prediction is not something economists, in general, are precisely interested in. This is
more an issue of traders or central banks.
2. To estimate parameters of “structural” equations. For example, the demand
elasticity in a demand equation. This is something regression is used for but not a
particular easy use of regressions. This will be discussed later in three weeks.
3. To estimate causal effects of policies, interventions, treatments. For example, of
a smaller class size on test scores; or of a job training program on future wages.
We will now center on this third application of regressions. But first, what does “causal”
mean? When/why is regression appropriate? With which controls?
• Defining Causal Effects.
In the simplest case, we are interested in evaluating an intervention or policy that has
only two states of the world: a unit is subjected to the intervention or not. In other words,
those not subject to the intervention or new policy act as a control group and those
subject to the intervention as the treatment group.
Therefore, we consider some population and assume the treatment status " is binary:
1 = if treated (e.g., a person goes through job training), 0 = if not treated.
If we then define causal effects by an abstraction called potential outcomes, for each unit
) in the population there are outcomes in both states of the world, !# and !! .
- !# = outcome without intervention.
- !! = outcome with an intervention.
- *+$ = !! − !# = causal effect (usually a random variable, may vary across units).
There are a couple of noteworthy items about the casual effect *%$ ,
- It is not observed for any unit ) because it depends on both counterfactuals.
- Second, it can be negative, zero, or positive. It could be that the causal effect is
negative for some units and positive for others.
