Econometric analysis of potential outcomes time series: instruments, shocks, linearity and the causal response function

26 Feb 2020  ·  Rambachan Ashesh, Shephard Neil ·

Bojinov & Shephard (2019) defined potential outcome time series to nonparametrically measure dynamic causal effects in time series experiments. Four innovations are developed in this paper: "instrumental paths," treatments which are "shocks," "linear potential outcomes" and the "causal response function." Potential outcome time series are then used to provide a nonparametric causal interpretation of impulse response functions, generalized impulse response functions, local projections and LP-IV.
