  • Matched Sampling for Causal Inference

    Description: Matched sampling, where the researcher first finds for each exposed unit (e.g., a smoker) a non-exposed unit (e.g., a never-smoker) who looks exactly like the exposed unit except for the exposure, and then compares outcomes (e.g., lung cancer rates) for the matched samples of units, is an intuitive method for inferring the causal effects of exposure versus non-exposure on the colle...
