Marginal Treatment Effects and Monotonicity
Published 4 Apr 2024 in econ.EM | (2404.03235v1)
Abstract: How robust are analyses based on marginal treatment effects (MTE) to violations of Imbens and Angrist (1994) monotonicity? In this note, I present weaker forms of monotonicity under which popular MTE-based estimands still identify the parameters of interest.
