The asymptotic properties of the new approach are established, and their accuracy in small samples is investigated using Monte Carlo simulations.

We provide a set of sufficient conditions ensuring the identification of the defined MTE in an environment of essential heterogeneity. The key conditions include a linear restriction on potential outcome regression functions, a nonlinear restriction on the propensity score, and a conditional mean independence restriction which will lead to additive separability. We prove this identification using the notion of semiparametric identification based on functional forms.
