On the partial identification of a new causal measure for ordinal outcomes

Author

  • Lu, Jiannan

Abstract

In a recent paper, Chiba (2017) proposed a new causal measure for ordinal outcomes. We derive the sharp bounds of Chiba (2017)’s causal measure, assuming fixed marginal distributions of the potential outcomes. We illustrate our results via a numeric example.
