Abstract: The papers by Oster (2017) and Pei, Pischke and Schwandt (2017) contribute to the development of inferential procedures for causal effects in the challenging and empirically relevant situation where the unknown data-generation process is not included in the set of models considered by the investigator. In this note, we establish a linkage between these two studies. Further, we use the general misspecification framework proposed by De Luca, Magnus and Peracchi (2018) to analyze the restrictions imposed by the two approaches.
