Abstract

This chapter studies the large sample properties of a subclassificationbased estimator of the dose-response function under ignorability. Employing standard regularity conditions, it is shown that the estimator is root-n consistent, asymptotically linear, and semiparametric efficient in large samples. A consistent estimator of the standard-error is also developed under the same assumptions. In a Monte Carlo experiment, we investigate the finite sample performance of this simple and intuitive estimator and compare it to others commonly employed in the literature.
