Abstract
In Jann (2019) I provided some reflections on influence functions for linear regression (with an application to regression adjustment). Based on an analogy to variance estimation in the generalized method of moments (GMM), I extend the discussion in this paper to maximum-likelihood models such as logistic regression and then provide influence functions for a variety of treatment effect estimators such as inverse-probability weighting (IPW), regression adjustment (RA), inverse-probability weighted regression adjustment (IPWRA), exact matching (EM), Mahalanobis distance matching (MD), and entropy balancing (EB). The goal of this exercise is to provide a framework for standard error estimation in all these estimators.
