Causal Inference -- 11/23 -- The MTE Curve

This series of online lectures covers the most important causal research designs in economics and other social sciences. This is the fourth of five videos on Marginal Treatment Effects (MTE). The video introduces the MTE curve, i.e. the relationship between the treatment effect and the resistance to  getting treated.


The course is based on two textbooks:

- Mostly Harmless Econometrics by Joshua Angrist and Steve Pischke (2009): https://press.princeton.edu/books/pap...

- Causal Inference -- the Mixtape by Scott Cunningham (2020): https://mixtape.scunning.com/
