This is useful: With the right study design (e.g., experimental research) Why? This is a powerful, powerful way to do research Building block for more advanced models NOTE: In many situations (e.g., civil war), we don t have experimental data. This means we need to think about all relevant predictors and control variables. Lecture 13 (QPM 2016) Causality and Treatment Effects October 24, / 32
10 We do not live in a univariate world So far, we ve done univariate inference. Moving forward we will do bivariate inference. This is useful: With the right study design (e.g., experimental research) Why? This is a powerful, powerful way to do research Building block for more advanced models NOTE: In many situations (e.g., civil war), we don t have experimental data. This means we need to think about all relevant predictors and control variables. We will finish the semester by talking about multiple regression as one method for attempting to deal with this.

12 Causality In political science we want to make causal claims. X Y What does this mean? Let s do this a bit more formally for the case of an experiment (the easiest way to think about it). Lecture 13 (QPM 2016) Causality and Treatment Effects October 24, / 32
13 Causal inference We will use T to represent a treatment variable. Lecture 13 (QPM 2016) Causality and Treatment Effects October 24, / 32
14 Causal inference We will use T to represent a treatment variable. For a categorical treatment T i = 1 if unit i receives the treatment 0 if unit i receives the control Lecture 13 (QPM 2016) Causality and Treatment Effects October 24, / 32
15 Causal inference We will use T to represent a treatment variable. For a categorical treatment T i = 1 if unit i receives the treatment 0 if unit i receives the control We let yi 1 represent the outcome of the ith unit if the treatment is given.

16 Causal inference We will use T to represent a treatment variable. For a categorical treatment T i = 1 if unit i receives the treatment 0 if unit i receives the control We let yi 1 represent the outcome of the ith unit if the treatment is given. We let y 0 i represent the outcome of the ith unit if the control is given. Lecture 13 (QPM 2016) Causality and Treatment Effects October 24, / 32
17 Causal inference We will use T to represent a treatment variable. For a categorical treatment T i = 1 if unit i receives the treatment 0 if unit i receives the control We let yi 1 represent the outcome of the ith unit if the treatment is given. We let yi 0 represent the outcome of the ith unit if the control is given. One of these is observed, the other is the counterfactual what would have been observed if the other treatment have been given? Lecture 13 (QPM 2016) Causality and Treatment Effects October 24, / 32
18 Causal inference We will use T to represent a treatment variable. For a categorical treatment T i = 1 if unit i receives the treatment 0 if unit i receives the control We let yi 1 represent the outcome of the ith unit if the treatment is given. We let yi 0 represent the outcome of the ith unit if the control is given. One of these is observed, the other is the counterfactual what would have been observed if the other treatment have been given? The causal effect of T i will then be yi 1 yi 0 Lecture 13 (QPM 2016) Causality and Treatment Effects October 24, / 32
19 Causal inference We will use T to represent a treatment variable. For a categorical treatment T i = 1 if unit i receives the treatment 0 if unit i receives the control We let yi 1 represent the outcome of the ith unit if the treatment is given. We let yi 0 represent the outcome of the ith unit if the control is given. One of these is observed, the other is the counterfactual what would have been observed if the other treatment have been given? The causal effect of T i will then be yi 1 yi 0 Ex., My theory is that individuals who watched this TV ad will be more likely to vote for Ted Cruz than if they didn t watch it.

ATE = mean(yi 1 yi 0) ATE = mean(yi 1) mean(y i 0) Each group acts as a counterfactual for the other Ex., My theory is that those individuals who watched this TV ad will be more likely to vote for Mitt Romney on average than those who didn t watch it.

74 A case study Lecture 13 (QPM 2016) Causality and Treatment Effects October 24, / 32
75 Problem: It can be subtle Rogers, Coffman, and Bergman: While the authors control for certain variables, their research only implies there is a relationship between parental involvement and student performance. This caveat is important; the existence of a relationship does not tell us what causes what. Think of it this way: If you had two children, and one was getting A s and the other C s, which of them would you help more? The C student. An outsider, noticing that you ve spent the school year helping only one of your children, might infer that parental help caused that child to earn lower grades. This of course would not be the case, and inferring causation here would be a mistake. Lecture 13 (QPM 2016) Causality and Treatment Effects October 24, / 32
