Causal Effects of Prenatal Exposure to PM<sub>2.5</sub> on Child Development and the Role of Unobserved Confounding

Causal Effects of Prenatal Exposure to PM<sub>2.5</sub> on Child Development and the Role of Unobserved Confounding

Prenatal exposure to airborne particles is a potential risk factor for infant neuropsychological development. This issue is usually explored by regression analysis under the implicit assumption that all relevant confounders are accounted for. Our aim is to estimate the causal effect of prenatal expo...
