Gaussian Process Models for Causal Inference With Time-Series Cross-Sectional Data

Nuannuan Xiang and Kevin Quinn (University of Michigan)

Abstract: In this paper, we develop a class of Gaussian Process models to estimate treatment effects with time-series cross-sectional data, in which a subset of units receives treatment in a subset of time periods. We impute potential (untreated) outcomes of...

Abstract: Constitutional “bright lines” are generally thought to serve as an important guard against democratic breakdown, because violations of these “bright line” institutions provide a focal point that facilitates mass coordination against a leader. In countries with term...
