Numerically the effect of early ArXiving is defined by the causal estimand ATET (screenshot 1). The paper reports ATET is high (9.76%) *before* accounting for NOC. BUT after considering NCO, the effect is almost non-existent for authors with different citation counts or institution ranks (screenshot 2).

Conclusion: enjoy your guilt-free early ArXiving!

The authors answer this question in [1] by first laying out the causal graph where early ArXiving is the treatment (variable A) and paper acceptance in a conference is the effect (variable Y; screenshot). Two confounders exist — one unobserved that is the creativity and originality of a paper (intrinsic), while the other is observed that is the topic/authors/institute of a paper (extrinsic).

ArXiv.org has been a wonderful place for researchers to submit findings and catch up with the latest, but does submitting papers there (“early ArXiving”) increase the odds for them to be accepted later in a peer-reviewed venue?

(Drumroll please)

Exciting news! My book "#CausalAnalysis: Impact Evaluation and #CausalMachineLearning with Applications in R" will be published by @mitpress on August 1st: https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262545914/causal-analysis/#.ZBMtVJ0JHxg.twitter #EconTwitter #EpiTwitter #CausalTwitter #StatsTwitter #RStats #DataScience

Very interesting blog post on dos and don’ts in #EventStudies and #DifferenceInDifferences for #CausalAnalysis by Nazlı Alagöz: https://towardsdatascience.com/event-studies-for-causal-inference-the-dos-and-donts-863f29ca7b65?source=social.tw

#Economics has moved from a largely theory-driven discipline to one that is (also) largely based on empirical evidence. #CausalInference methods play a key role in this development. And more to come through the ongoing integration of #AI & #MachineLearning into #CausalAnalysis.
