Abstract: The problem of bounding average treatment effects under survey nonresponse, when data collection entails sequential efforts made to obtain response, can be formulated as an optimization problem. It is shown that this formulation is equivalent to the original problem and further extends it into a sensitivity analysis of the identifying assumptions. Departure from the assumption of treatment exogeneity can be controlled via an interpretable parameter and thus allows to quantify the importance of the crucial identification assumption.
