This study considers testing the specification of spillover effects in causal inference. We focus on experimental settings in which the treatment assignment mechanism is known to researchers. We develop a new randomization test utilizing a hierarchical relationship between different exposures. Compared with existing approaches, our approach is essentially applicable to any null exposure specifications and produces powerful test statistics without a priori knowledge of the true interference structure. As empirical illustrations, we revisit two existing social network experiments: one on farmers' insurance adoption and the other on anti-conflict education programs.

  1. Inward and Outward Spillover Effects of One Unit's Treatment on Network Neighbors under Partial Interference

    stat.ME 2025-06 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Outward and inward spillover effects in clustered networks generally differ, with a precise condition for equality, and their estimators have different efficiencies depending on graph structure.
