本文建立了一个非参数模型,它描述了结果序列和治疗选择如何以动态的方式相互影响。在这种情况下,我们感兴趣的是确定每个时期的个体的平均结果,有一个特定的治疗序列被分配。这个量的确定允许我们确定平均治疗效果(ATE's)和过渡的ATE's,以及最佳治疗方案,即最大化平均潜在结果的(加权)和,可能减少治疗费用的方案。本文的主要贡献在于通过引入一个灵活的内源治疗序列选择理论框架,放宽了生物统计学文献中广泛使用的序列随机化假设。我们表明,感兴趣的参数是在每个阶段的双向排除限制下识别的,即,将工具排除在结果决定过程之外,将其他外生变量排除在治疗选择过程之外。我们还考虑了在后一个变量不可用的情况下的部分辨识。最后,我们将我们的结果扩展到一个不是每个时期都出现治疗的环境中。

英文摘要:
This paper develops a nonparametric model that represents how sequences of outcomes and treatment choices influence one another in a dynamic manner. In this setting, we are interested in identifying the average outcome for individuals in each period, had a particular treatment sequence been assigned. The identification of this quantity allows us to identify the average treatment effects (ATE's) and the ATE's on transitions, as well as the optimal treatment regimes, namely, the regimes that maximize the (weighted) sum of the average potential outcomes, possibly less the cost of the treatments. The main contribution of this paper is to relax the sequential randomization assumption widely used in the biostatistics literature by introducing a flexible choice-theoretic framework for a sequence of endogenous treatments. We show that the parameters of interest are identified under each period's two-way exclusion restriction, i.e., with instruments excluded from the outcome-determining process and other exogenous variables excluded from the treatment-selection process. We also consider partial identification in the case where the latter variables are not available. Lastly, we extend our results to a setting where treatments do not appear in every period.
