Causal Inference under Incentives: An Annotated Reading List

Published: 08 October 2024 Publication History

Abstract

We provide an overview of research on causal inference in the presence of strategic agents. Work in this area uses tools from econometrics, statistics, machine learning, and game theory to infer causal relationships between treatments and outcomes of interest when the treated individuals have an incentive to behave strategically.
