Different Forms of Unit-specific Quantity of Theoretical Estimand
The unit-specific quantity might be:
- "Descriptive: the factual value that some variable actually would take for unit i in the absence of intervention;" e.g., : "whether person i is employed ...
- Causal: the value some variable would take if a treatment variable D was set to a particular value d, producing the potential outcome;" e.g., : "whether person i would be employed if they received job training)"
- Causal Difference ("A difference in potential outcomes): the effect of job training on the employment of person i"
- Caused by Multipel Variables: "An outcome that would be realized under intervention of more than one variable;" e.g.,
- "A mediation claim about the outcome that unit i would realize if the treatment were set to and some mediator were set to ."
- An interaction claim of "whether person i would be employed if they received job training and childcare."
