CTREATREG: Stata module for estimating dose-response models under exogenous and endogenous treatment

Author

Abstract

This paper presents ctreatreg, a Stata module for estimating a dose-response function when: (i) treatment is continuous, (ii) individuals may react heterogeneously to observable confounders, and (iii) selection-into-treatment may be endogenous. Two estimation procedures are implemented: OLS under Conditional Mean Independence, and InstrumentalVariables (IV) under selection endogeneity. A Monte Carlo experiment to test the reliability of the proposed command is finally set out. Length: 25 pages
