Causal Inference for Qualitative Outcomes
Description
Implements the framework introduced in Di Francesco and Mellace (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2502.11691>, shifting the focus to well-defined and interpretable estimands that quantify how treatment affects the probability distribution over outcome categories. It supports selection-on-observables, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity, and difference-in-differences designs.
