Summary

Section 3.1 presents key findings on partial identification of mean treatment response with observational data, with accompanying illustrations. Section 3.2 considers identification problems that arise with data from randomized trials, focusing on an important practical issue that has escaped notice until recently. Section 3.3 discusses the difficult problem of identification of treatment response with social interactions. Section 3.4 revisits the subject of meta-analysis discussed in Chapter 2, now offering an alternative to the manner in which meta-analysis has been performed to date.
