题目: Estimating causal effects arising from a treatment sequence

地点：海韵实验楼108

摘要: In economic and medical practices, a sequence of treatments are assigned to influence an outcome of interest that occurs after the last treatment. Between treatments, there exist time-dependent covariates that may be influenced by the earlier treatments and at the same time confounders of the subsequent treatments. The causal effects of interest are the net effects of individual treatments and the causal effect of a posited treatment regime on the outcome after the last treatment. In this seminar, we will first review the well-known difficulties of estimating these causal effects and then introduce a method of estimating these causal effects that can avoid the known difficulties.
