skillboardThis skill covers causal inference methods in observational and quasi-experimental settings. Use when the user is implementing, choosing between, or debugging causal identification strategies — including instrumental variables, difference-in-differences, regression discontinuity, synthetic control, or matching estimators. Triggers on "causal effect", "identification strategy", "instrumental variable", "2SLS", "GMM", "difference-in-differences", "DiD", "staggered treatment", "regression discontinuity", "RDD", "synthetic control", "matching", "propensity score", "IPW", "AIPW", "doubly robust", "LATE", "ATT", "ATE", "parallel trends", "exclusion restriction", "first stage", "weak instruments", or "endogeneity".
692e9faCausal Inference Reference for implementing causal inference methods: from identification strategy to estimation to diagnostics and robustness. Covers the major quasi experimental and observational methods used in applied economics and quantitative social science. When to Use This Skill Use when the user is: Choosing an identification strategy for a causal question Implementing IV/2SLS, DiD, RDD, synthetic control, or matching Debugging specification issues (weak instruments, parallel trends…
