Learning explanations that are hard to vary (2020, background): “This postulate has appeared in various forms in the literature [Haavelmo, 1943, Simon, 1953, Hurwicz, 1962, Pearl, 2009, Schölkopf et al., 2012].14 Based on this insight, it was proposed that regression based on causal features should presents desirable invariance and robustness properties [Mooij…”
Comparing IV With Structural Models: What Simple IV Can and Cannot Identify (2010, unknown): “7 Heckman and Vytlacil (2007a) dene structural models precisely following the seminal denition of Hurwicz (1962) .”
Micro Data, Heterogeneity, and the Evaluation of Public Policy: Nobel Lecture (2001, background): “…structural parameters became evident—whether in macro or micro data—microeconomists, following important suggestions by Marschak (1953) and Hurwicz (1962), began to ask whether it was necessary to recover all the parameters of structural models to answer specific policy questions in a…”
Pricing Uncertainty Induced by Climate Change (2020, unknown): “Addressing this problem requires a structural model in the sense of Hurwicz (1966) because we will be compelled to assess possibilities that are not well represented by historical evidence.”
Econometric Evaluation of Social Programs, Part II: Using the Marginal Treatment Effect to Organize Alternative Econometric Estimators to Evaluate Social Programs, and to Forecast their Effects in New Environments (2007, background): “Thus for the intervention of randomization, the functions are assumed to be structural in the sense of Hurwicz (1962). The distributions of (U0, U1, UC) conditional on X, and hence the distribution of V conditional on X, are also invariant.”
1. The Scientific Model of Causality (2005, methodology): “This is the definition that was proposed by Hurwicz (1962). It is implicit in Marschak (1953) and it is explicitly utilized by Sims (1977), Lucas and Sargent (1981), and Leamer (1985), among others.”
Understanding and misunderstanding randomized controlled trials (2016, unknown): “…equally eloquent on the drawbacks, noting that the counterfactual approach often leaves us in the dark about the exact nature of the treatment, so that the treatment effects can be difficult to link to invariant quantities that would be useful elsewhere (invariant in the sense of Hurwicz (1966)).”
Nonparametric Identification and Estimation of Nonadditive Hedonic Models (2009, unknown): “2 See, e.g., Hurwicz (1962) or, for a more modern statement, Heckman and Vytlacil (2007).”
Econometric Evaluation of Social Programs, Part I: Causal Models, Structural Models and Econometric Policy Evaluation (2007, methodology): “We restate these conditions, which are closely related to the invariance conditions of Hurwicz (1962), when we discuss his treatment of policy invariance in Section 4.6 below, after we have specific economic models in hand.”
