Abstract

This article discusses the poparms command, which implements two semiparametric estimators for multivalued treatment effects discussed in Cattaneo (2010, Journal of Econometrics 155: 138–154). The first is a properly reweighted inverse-probability weighted estimator, and the second is an efficient-influence function estimator, which can be interpreted as having the double-robust property. Our implementation jointly estimates means and quantiles of the potential outcome distributions, allowing for multiple, discrete treatment levels. These estimators are then used to estimate a variety of multivalued treatment effects. We discuss pre- and postestimation approaches that can be used in conjunction with our main implementation. We illustrate the program and provide a simulation study assessing the finite-sample performance of the inference procedures.
