Conjoint Survey Design Tool
Anton Strezhnev, Jens Hainmueller, Daniel J. Hopkins, and Teppei Yamamoto
The Conjoint Survey Design Tool assists researchers in creating multi-dimensional choice experiments that can be readily incorporated into any pre-existing web survey software (such as Qualtrics). Conjoint analysis is a type of survey experiment often used by market researchers to measure consumer preferences over a variety of product attributes. Hainmueller, Hopkins and Yamamoto (2014) demonstrate the value of this design for political science applications. Conjoint experiments present respondents with a choice among set of profiles composed of multiple randomly assigned attributes. This approach allows researchers to estimate the effect of each individual component on the probability that the respondent will choose a profile. This software tool is designed as a companion to Hainmueller, Hopkins and Yamamoto (2014), providing a graphical user interface for generating conjoint experiments.

DirectEffects
Matthew Blackwell, Avidit Acharya, Maya Sen, Shiro Kuriwaki, Jacob Brown, Anton Strezhnev
A set of functions to estimate the controlled direct effect of treatment fixing a potential mediator to a specific value. Implements the sequential g-estimation estimator described in Vansteelandt (2009) and Acharya, Blackwell, and Sen (2016) and the telescope matching estimator described in Blackwell and Strezhnev (2022).
