Description

This talk introduces the basic concepts of causal inference, including counterfactuals and potential outcomes. I will demonstrate how to use Stata's teffects suite of commands to fit causal models using propensity-score matching, inverse-probability weighting, regression adjustment, "doubly robust" estimators that use a combination of inverse-probability weighting with regression adjustment, and nearest-neighbor matching.
