TITLE

Asymptotic properties of an optimization-based matching estimator
for average treatment effects

Abstract: */

This  paper investigates  the  asymptotic  properties  of  a  novel  
matching  estimator  for  the average treatment effects of binary 
programs.  In order to impute the  missing potential outcome for each 
unit, this approach employs both a number of neighbors and a  weighting 
scheme that are endogenously determined by solving a nested pair of 
optimization
problems associated with an individual covariate balancing criterion.  
Under mild conditions, our  main contributions are:  (i) the asymptotic 
normality and a consistent estimator of the conditional  variance of the 
estimators for the ATE and ATT, (ii) the conditional bias of the 
estimator for the  ATE is "O_p(n^{-2/n})", where "n" is the sample size 
and "d" is the dimension of continuous covariate, and  (iii) general 
conditions under  which  the  estimator  of  the  ATT  do  attain
squar{n}-consistency. Save particular cases, the order of convergence in 
(ii) cannot be achieved by the conditional bias
of any nonparametric "matching estimator" for the ATT, neither by k-NN 
matching estimators.


Joint work with Roberto Cominetti and Jorge Rivera.
