Double Debiased Machine Learning Nonparametric Inference with Continuous Treatments
read the original abstract
We propose a doubly robust inference method for causal effects of continuous treatment variables, under unconfoundedness and with nonparametric or high-dimensional nuisance functions. Our double debiased machine learning (DML) estimators for the average dose-response function (or the average structural function) and the partial effects are asymptotically normal with non-parametric convergence rates. The first-step estimators for the nuisance conditional expectation function and the conditional density can be nonparametric or ML methods. Utilizing a kernel-based doubly robust moment function and cross-fitting, we give high-level conditions under which the nuisance function estimators do not affect the first-order large sample distribution of the DML estimators. We provide sufficient low-level conditions for kernel, series, and deep neural networks. We justify the use of kernel to localize the continuous treatment at a given value by the Gateaux derivative. We implement various ML methods in Monte Carlo simulations and an empirical application on a job training program evaluation
