Abstract

When we encounter correlated count-valued outcomes y1 in {0,1,...,M} and y2 in {0,1,...,M}, the identification and estimation of average treatment effects (ATEs) need to account for the correlation structure of the data-generating process. As illustrated by Fisher, Terza, and Zhang (2022), the Stata command bivpoisson estimates deep parameters in count-valued seemingly unrelated regression (count SUR) models via fully parametric MLE. The postestimation command bivpoisson_ate supports the estimation of ATEs, the standard errors of ATEs, and its p-values in our count SUR model. An example is provided to estimate the ATEs of private insurance status on the numbers of physician office visits and non-physician health professional office visits within two weeks. The user will specify outcome y1, outcome y2, a policy variable (must be placed at the first place of the independent variable list), and two vectors of control variables.
