Causal and nonparametric estimands in economics and biostatistics can often be viewed as the mean of a linear functional applied to an unknown outcome regression function.
Learning the Riesz representer (RR) of the target estimand through automatic debiasing (AD) can be challenging.
Moment-constrained learning is proposed as a new approach for RR learning, improving the robustness of RR estimates to optimization hyperparameters.
Numerical experiments on average treatment/derivative effect estimation using semi-synthetic data show improved performance compared to state-of-the-art benchmarks.
