"Causal Reduced Form is the Long-Awaited True Model"
Abstract
Causal Reduced Form (CRF) is an "outcome (Y) representation linear in treatment D", with a causal parameter of interest as the slope of D. CRF is (almost) model-free, and holds for any Y (binary, count, continuous,...). Diverse CRF's appeared for various types of D: binary exogenous, multiple exogenous, binary endogenous, network treatment, mediator, DiD, etc. CRF has three uses. Firstly, it reveals the restrictions embedded in commonly used structural forms. Secondly, being linear in D, it allows estimating the causal parameter with OLS, IVE or GMM. Thirdly, substituting the CRF into an estimator formula shows what the estimator actually estimates. As it turns out, minor variants of many OLS and IVE controlling D and covariates X are consistent to an "overlap-weighted" average of X-heterogeneous effects of D for any form of Y.

"Where to Build Affordable Housing? Evaluating the Tradeoffs of Location" with Pearl Z. Li, Ariel J. Binder [Paper]
Abstract How does the location of affordable housing affect household welfare, the distribution of assistance, and broader societal objectives such as racial integration? Using administrative data on affordable housing tenants, we first show that, despite fixed eligibility requirements, developments in higher-opportunity neighborhoods disproportionally house tenants who are higher-income, more educated, grew up in richer families, less likely to have children, and far less likely to be Black or Hispanic. To quantify the welfare implications, we build and estimate a model in which households choose from both market-rate and affordable housing options, where the latter are rationed by private developers. While building affordable housing in higher-opportunity neighborhoods costs more, it also increases household welfare and reduces racial and economic segregation. However, the welfare gains accrue to more moderate-need and white (non-Hispanic) households at the expense of other households. This distributional shift is primarily due to crowding out: households that only apply for assistance in higher-opportunity neighborhoods crowd out those willing to apply regardless of location. Relative to the choice of location, other policy levers—such as lowering the income limits used for means-testing—have only limited effects.

"What Money Shouldn’t Buy? Measuring Aversion to Monetary Incentives for Health Behaviors" with Armando N. Meier, Florian H. Schneider and Roberto A. Weber
Abstract We study attitudes toward offering monetary payments for vaccination. We develop the Policy Lab, an experimental paradigm to characterize policy preferences in which participants decide whether to implement actual interventions to influence others' real-world behavior. In two studies with representative samples of the Swedish population (N=2,010) and one with Swedish policymakers (N=2,008), participants decide whether to provide others (N=1,529) with monetary incentives for vaccination. A majority of participants oppose using monetary incentives. Despite the widespread perception that such incentives are an effective policy instrument, which is supported in our data, opposition to their use is driven by perceptions that they are coercive and unethical. Policymakers exhibit, if anything, greater opposition to the use of monetary incentives. We also document that opposition to incentives extends beyond vaccination to other health domains. Our study provides evidence that the public opposes policies that they correctly perceive as effective, potentially creating barriers to their adoption. We further introduce a novel method to elicit policy preferences, widely applicable whenever researchers conduct randomized trials.
