1 Applied Impact Evaluation Causal Inference & Random Assignment Paul Gertler UC Berkeley
2 Our Objective Estimate the causal effect (impact) of intervention (P) on outcome (Y). (P) = Program or Treatment (Y) = Indicator, Measure of Success Example: What is the effect of a Cash Transfer Program (P) on Household Consumption (Y)?
3 Causal Inference What is the impact of (P) on (Y)? α= (Y P=1)-(Y P=0) Can we all go home?
4 Problem of Missing Data α= (Y P=1)-(Y P=0) For a program beneficiary: we observe (Y P=1): Household Food Consumption (Y) with a cash transfer program (P=1) but we do not observe (Y P=0): Food Consumption (Y) without a cash transfer program (P=0)
5 Solution Estimate what would have happened to Y in the absence of P. We call this the Counterfactual.
6 Estimating impact of P on Y α= (Y P=1)-(Y P=0) OBSERVE (Y P=1) Outcome with treatment ESTIMATE (Y P=0) The Counterfactual IMPACT = Outcome with treatment - counterfactual o Use comparison or control group
7 Example: What is the Impact of giving Fulanito additional pocket money (P) on Fulanito s consumption of candies (Y)?
8 The Perfect Clone Fulanito Fulanito s Clone X 6 candies 4 candies IMPACT=6-4=2 Candies
9 In reality, use statistics Treatment Comparison X Average Y=6 candies Average Y=4 Candies IMPACT=6-4=2 Candies
10 Finding good comparison groups We want to find clones for the Fulanitos in our programs. The treatment and comparison groups should o have identical characteristics o except for benefiting from the intervention. In practice, use program eligibility & assignment rules to construct valid counterfactuals
11 Randomized treatments and comparisons 3. Randomize treatment 1. Population 2. Evaluation sample X Comparison Treatment = Ineligible = Eligible External Validity Internal Validity
12 Unit of Randomization Choose according to type of program o Individual/Household o School/Health Clinic/catchment area o Block/Village/Community/Regio n Keep in mind o Need sufficiently large number of units to detect minimum desired impact: Power. o Clustering reduces effective sample size o Standard Errors need to be clustered o Spillovers/contamination o Operational and survey costs
13 Case Study: Progresa National anti-poverty program in Mexico o Started 1997 o 5 million beneficiaries by 2004 o Eligibility based on poverty index Cash Transfers o Conditional on school and health care attendance.
14 Case Study: Progresa Rigorous impact evaluation with rich data o 506 communities, 24,000 households o Baseline 1997, follow-up 1998 Many outcomes of interest Here: Consumption per capita What is the effect of Progresa (P) on Food Consumption Per Capita (Y)? If impact is an increase of $20 or more, then scale up nationally
15 Eligibility and Enrollment Ineligibles (Non-Poor) Eligibles (Poor) Not Enrolled Enrolled
16 Randomized Assignment Progresa CCT program Unit of randomization: Community 506 communities in the evaluation sample Randomized phase-in o 320 treatment communities (14446 households): First transfers in April o 186 comparison communities (9630 households): First transfers November 1999
17 Randomized Assignment 320 Treatment Communities T=0 T=1 Time 186 Comparison Communities Comparison Period
18 Randomized Assignment How do we know we have good clones? In the absence of Progresa, treatment and comparisons should be identical Let s compare their characteristics at baseline (T=0)
19 Balance at Baseline Case 3: Randomized Assignment Treatment Comparison T-stat Consumption ($ monthly per capita) Head s age (years) Spouse s age (years) Head s education (years) ** Spouse s education (years) Note: If the effect is statistically significant at the 1% significance level, we label the estimated impact with 2 stars (**).
20 Balance at Baseline Case 3: Randomized Assignment Treatment Comparison T-stat Head is female= Indigenous= Number of household members Bathroom= Hectares of Land Distance to Hospital (km) Note: If the effect is statistically significant at the 1% significance level, we label the estimated impact with 2 stars (**).
21 Randomized Assignment Treatment Group (Randomized to treatment) Counterfactual (Randomized to Comparison) Impact (Y P=1) - (Y P=0) Baseline (T=0) Consumption (Y) Follow-up (T=1) Consumption (Y) ** Estimated Impact on Consumption (Y) Linear Regression 29.25** Multivariate Linear Regression 29.75** Note: If the effect is statistically significant at the 1% significance level, we label the estimated impact with 2 stars (**).
