Abstract

This paper discusses the econometric model of causal policy analysis and two alternative frameworks that are popular in statistics and computer science. By employing the alternative frameworks uncritically, economists ignore the substantial advantages of an econometric approach, resulting in less informative analyses of economic policy. We show that the econometric approach to causality enables economists to characterize and analyze a wider range of policy problems than alternative approaches.

因果政策分析的计量经济学模型。
本文讨论了因果政策分析的计量经济学模型以及在统计学和计算机科学中流行的两种替代框架。通过不加批判地使用替代框架,经济学家忽略了计量经济学方法的实质性优势,导致对经济政策的信息分析较少。我们表明,因果关系的计量经济学方法使经济学家能够比其他方法更广泛地描述和分析政策问题。
