Treat each covariate as treatment one at a time in double ML #1031

Closed weibinxu86 closed 1 year ago

weibinxu86 commented 1 year ago

I have multiple economic indicators as covariates such as employment rate, gdp growth, average wage, etc. I want to estimate each of them's effect on travel demand. I was thinking of two steps:

  1. Make a DAG out of the data
  2. Make each of the economic indicators one at a time as treatment and the rest as covariates and get the treatment effect using the DAG and Double ML

Just want to make sure if this makes sense or not?
