In my updated paper, I introduce an R package, ididvar, that provides tools to easily identify the identifying variation in a regression: vincentbagilet.github.io/ididvar/   More information can be found on the package and project websites: vincentbagilet.github.io/causal_exaggeration/ididvar.html

I updated my paper showing that causal inference methods induce a trade of between confoundings and exaggerating true effect sizes. By limiting the variation used for identification, they reduce statistical power and precision and can exacerbate another bias, exaggeration. ssrn.com/abstract=607...

The credibility revolution has made causal inference methods ubiquitous in economics. Yet there is widespread evidence of selection on significance and associated biases in the literature. I show that these two phenomena interact to reduce the reliability of published estimates: while causal identification strategies alleviate bias from confounders, by restricting the variation used for identification they reduce statistical power and can exacerbate another bias--exaggeration. I characterize this confounding-exaggeration trade-off theoretically and through realistic Monte Carlo simulations, and explore its prevalence in the literature. In realistic settings, exaggeration can exceed the confounding bias these methods aim to eliminate. Finally, I propose practical solutions to navigate this trade-off, including a tool to identify the variation and observations actually driving identification in an applied causal study.

🚨 New working paper! We show that women in France emit 26% less CO₂ than men from food & transport. 🥗Food + 🚗 Transport =50% of individual carbon footprint — we show this isn’t just about biology or labor market differences. A thread👇🧵(1/12) Link to wp: www.lse.ac.uk/granthaminst...
