摘要： This paper proposes an approach to estimate quantile treatment effects in the absence of rank preservation under the identifying assumption that treatment assignment is based on observed characteristics. The approach allows us to define quantile treatment effects as quantiles of the differences in outcomes between treatment and control units. We employ coarsened exact matching (CEM) (Iacus, King, and Porro, 2012) to calculate differences in outcomes between matched treatment and control units, which are used to derive estimators of the quantile treatment effect (QTE) and the quantile treatment effect on the treated (QTT). We prove consistency and asymptotic normality of our estimators and show that replacing the variances with estimated variances does not affect the asymptotic distributions. We apply the approach to study the effects of a job training program on earnings. We find that while the average treatment effect on the treated is positive, about 35% of individuals in the treatment group have significantly lower earnings than comparable individuals in the control group.
