Entropy Balancing is Doubly Robust

Covariate balance is a conventional key diagnostic for methods estimating causal effects from observational studies.Recently, there is an emerging interest in directly incorporating covariate balance in the estimation.We study a recently proposed Pulley entropy maximization method called Entropy Balancing (EB), which exactly matches the covariate m
