1. Causal inference and case-control studies with applications related to childhood diabetes
Sammanfattning : This thesis contributes to the research area of causal inference, where estimation of the effect of a treatment on an outcome of interest is the main objective. Some aspects of the estimation of average causal effects in observational studies in general, and case-control studies in particular, are explored. LÄS MER
2. Some Aspects of Propensity Score-based Estimators for Causal Inference
Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of four papers that are related to commonly used propensity score-based estimators for average causal effects.The first paper starts with the observation that researchers often have access to data containing lots of covariates that are correlated. LÄS MER
3. Covariate selection and propensity score specification in causal inference
Sammanfattning : This thesis makes contributions to the statistical research field of causal inference in observational studies. The results obtained are directly applicable in many scientific fields where effects of treatments are investigated and yet controlled experiments are difficult or impossible to implement. LÄS MER
4. On Matching Markets
Sammanfattning : This thesis gives a contribution to matching theory. It examines three one-to-one matching models: the roommate problem, the partnership formation problem and the assignment game. In the former two, it is known that stable matchings may not exist. In the latter, stable outcomes do exist; we examine if they still do if we generalize the model. LÄS MER
5. Essays on Matching
Sammanfattning : This thesis makes a contribution to matching theory and mechanism design. It consists of four self-contained papers focusing on kidney exchange, object allocation and partnership formation. LÄS MER
