3、l analysis is separating causation from correlation.nCorrelated means that two economic variables move together.nCasual means that one of the variables is causing the movement in the other.随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果4THE IMPORTANT DISTINCTION BETWEEN CORRELATION AND CAUSATIONpThere are many examples wh

4、ere causation and correlation get confused.pIt is critical for government policy to understand the difference;otherwise policy may not have the intended impact.随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果5THE IMPORTANT DISTINCTION BETWEEN CORRELATION AND CAUSATIONpOne example concerns SAT preparation courses.nIn 1988,H

5、arvard interviewed its freshmen and found those who took SAT“coaching”courses scored 63 points lower than those who did not.nOne dean concluded that the SAT courses were unhelpful and“the coaching industry is playing on parental anxiety.”随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果6The ProblempIn both examples,there is

6、 a common problem:an attempt to interpret a correlation as a causal relationship,without sufficient thought to the underlying data generating process.pFor any correlation between two variables A and B,there are three possible explanations for a correlation:nA is causing B.nB is causing A.nSome other

7、 factor is causing both.随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果7The ProblempIn the Harvard SAT example,the possibilities could be:nSAT prep courses worsen preparation for the SATs.nThose with poorer test taking ability take prep courses to try to catch up.nThose who are generally nervous both like to take prep cou

8、rses and do the worst on standardized exams.pHarvard dean thought the first possibility was correct.随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果8The ProblempAlthough the peasants or the Harvard dean could actually be correct,odds are they are misinterpreting the underlying process at work.pFor policy purposes,what we c

9、are about is causation.pKnowing that two factors are correlated gives you no predictive power.随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果9The Problem of BiaspIn this case,the assignment of the intervention was not random.pThis means the treatment and control groups are not identical.pNon-random assignment,in turn,coul

11、p course are likely to do worse on the SAT for other reasons.随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果11The Problem of BiaspBy definition,such differences do not exist in a randomized trial,since the groups are not different in any consistent fashion.pAs a result,randomized trials have no bias,and it is for this rea

14、assignment,the assignment of the intervention is not determined by anything about the subjects.pAs a result,the treatment group is identical to the control group in every facet but one:the treatment group gets the intervention.随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果14Example I:does the payer work?pExample(Harris e

18、ized trial to learn about the elasticity of employment with respect to TANF benefits.随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果21Randomized Trials in the TANF ContextpImagine a large group(say,2000)of single mothers were randomly assigned to one of two groups with a coin flip:nThe“control”group continues to receive a

19、 guarantee of$5,000.nThe“treatment”group now has their TANF benefit cut to$3,000.pFollow groups for a period of time,and measure the work effort.随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果22Randomized Trials in the TANF ContextpIn an experiment like this in California in 1992,the elasticity of employment with respect

20、to welfare benefits was estimated to be-0.67.pThus,a 10%decrease in benefits resulted in a 6.7%increase in employment.随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果23Why We Need to Go Beyond Randomized TrialspRandomized trials present some problems:nThey can be expensive.nThey can take a long time to complete.nThey may r

21、aise ethical issues(especially in the context of medical treatments).nThe inferences from them may not generalize to the population as a whole.nSubjects may drop out of the experiment for non-random reasons,a problem known as attrition.随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果24Why We Need to Go Beyond Randomized Tr

22、ialspFor these reasons(especially the first one about randomized trials being expensive),economists often take different approaches to try to assess causal relationships in empirical research.随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果25What is your identification strategypHow can you obtain the casual effect using yo

23、ur observational data?pDrawing inference from the observational data needs to be very carefulpLikely to suffer from the selection bias 随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果26Example Ip根據9999泛亞人力銀行調查顯示,有六成八的大學應屆畢業生求職處處碰壁,到現在還找不到工作,而這些失業青年目前生活經費的主要來源,有七成以上是在家靠父母親友養,更令人憂心的是,有一成的社會新鮮人是以借貸、舉債過日。9999泛亞人力銀行營運長楊肯誠認為,八月份

24、二技、四技二專考試放榜後,部分為被錄取的高職、專科生也將投入就業市場,預估九月份的應屆畢業生失業率更為嚴重,有可能超越去年九月的七成二。p該人力銀行昨天在台北的喜來登酒店舉行記者會,公布八月三日至十四日所進行今年找全職工作的應屆畢業生就業狀況調查,針對跟人力銀行資料庫符合條件的九萬二千一百五十二名應屆畢業生發出問卷,有效樣本共一萬九千三百七十八份,回收率百分之廿一,當信心水準為百分之九十五時,誤差值為正負百分之零點八。受訪樣本集中在大專以上學歷為主,占全體百分之八十七點五。試就上述論點一一評論下列敘述:随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果27pDo you believe the

29、hodpPropensity score matching methodpRegression随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果33Quasi-ExperimentspEconomists typically cannot set up randomized trials for many public policy discussions.Yet,the time-series and cross-sectional approaches are often unsatisfactory.pQuasi-experiments are changes in the economi

30、c environment that create roughly identical treatment and control groups for studying the effect of that environmental change.nThis allows researchers to take advantage of randomization created by external forces.随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果34Quasi-ExperimentspBasic approach is to let outside forces do

31、the randomization for us.In some cases,the situation happens naturally.nSuppose,for example,that Arkansas cut its TANF benefit by 20%in 1997,and that we had a large sample of single mothers in Arkansas in 1996 and 1998.nAt the same time,imagine that Louisianas benefits remained unchanged.随机控制实验了解接受远

32、端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果35Quasi-ExperimentspIn principle,the alteration in the states policies has essentially performed our randomization for us.nThe women in Arkansas who experienced the decrease in benefits are the treatment group.nThe women in Louisiana whose benefits were unchanged are the control.nBy com

33、puting the change in labor supply across these groups,and then examining the difference between treatment(Arkansas)and control(Louisiana),we can obtain an estimate of the impact of benefits on labor supply that is free from bias.随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果36Quasi-ExperimentspImagine we simply studied s

34、ingle mothers in Arkansas alone.pArkansas has essentially performed an“experiment”where single mothers in 1996 are the control group,and those in 1998 are the treatment group.pIn practice,this comparison runs into the criticisms that confront us with time series analysis.nFor example,the national ec

35、onomy was growing exceptionally fast during this period.随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果37Quasi-ExperimentspBecause of these concerns about national trends,the quasi-experimental approach includes the extra step of comparing the treatment group for whom the policy changed to a control group for whom it did

36、not.pSingle mothers in Louisiana did not experience the TANF cut,yet benefit from the growth in the economy.随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果38Quasi-ExperimentspThat is,by examining hours of work in Arkansas,we obtain:nHOURSAR,1998-HOURSAR,1996nThis contains both the treatment effect and the bias from the ec

37、onomic boom.pIn contrast,by examining hours of work in Louisiana,we obtain:nHOURSLA,1998-HOURSLA,1996nThis contains only the effect of the economic boom.随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果39Quasi-ExperimentspBy subtracting the change in hours of work in Louisiana from that in Arkansas,we control for the bias c

38、aused by the economic boom.pWe obtain a causal estimate of the effect of TANF benefits on hours of work.pAn example is given in,first focusing on Arkansas alone.随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果40Table 1Using Quasi-Experimental VariationArkansas19961998DifferenceBenefit Guarantee$5,000$4,000-$1,000Hours of W

39、ork Per Year1,0001,200200CPS data shows actual hours of work for single mothers in Arkansas.At the same time benefits were being cut,hours of work increased for single mothers in Arkansas.Benefits fell by$1,000 in Arkansas during 1997.随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果41Quasi-ExperimentspWhile benefits fell b

40、y 20%,hours of work increased by 20%;the implied elasticity of labor supply with respect to benefits levels is-1.pThis is larger than the-0.67 elasticity estimate found in the randomized trial in California.随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果42Quasi-ExperimentspThere is likely to be bias in this“first-differen

41、ce,”because there was major economic growth during this period.nThus,single mothers in Arkansas may have increased their work effort even if TANF benefits had not fallen.pWe examine single mothers in the neighboring state of Louisiana,in the bottom panel of.随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果43Table 1Using Qua

43、iana.But labor supply still increased,perhaps due to the growing economy.It appears that 50 hours of the 200 hour increase was due to economic conditions,not TANF.随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果44Quasi-ExperimentspThis approach yields the difference-in-difference estimator the difference between the change

44、s in outcomes for the treatment group that experiences an intervention and a control group that does not.pWe are taking the difference in labor supply changes in these states in an attempt to purge the estimate of bias(due to the growing economy).nWhile cross-sectional analysis would suggest that th

45、e reduction in welfare benefits leads to a 100-hour increase in work,the difference-in-difference analysis suggests a 150-hour increase.随机控制实验了解接受远端祈祷心脏病病人的治疗效果45Quasi-ExperimentspThe difference-in-difference estimator is:pThe second term,for Louisiana,nets out the bias from the growing economy.pThu
