I really enjoyed participating in the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists' (#AERE2025) Summer Conference for the first time last week, presenting my paper on double machine learning (#DML) & electricity market decarbonization (joint work w/ Nicolas Koch & @philippbach.bsky.social)

Thanks! I totally agree with @mcknaus.bsky.social. Also whenever I start some new Causal "ML" projects, the first benchmark is always OLS & logistic regression learners; it helps you to see the connection to standard approaches; not only for linear regression, but also for doubly robust etc.
One of my favorite parts is running OLS within the DoubleML package of @philippbach.bsky.social and colleagues.
Of course this is unnecessarily complicated, but instructive.

This looks like a pretty useful paper and - probably more importantly - a pretty useful practical procedure to find our what happens when running Causal Machine Learning. Balancing checks etc are common in traditional approaches (like PSM), but are usually mor tricky to assess in ML-based estimation
New WP 🚨
1. Recipe to write estimators as weighted outcomes
2. Double ML and causal forests as weighting estimators
3. Plug&play classic covariate balancing checks
4. Explains why Causal ML fails to find an effect of 1 with noiseless outcome Y = 1 + D
5. More fun facts
