Query: Simultaneous Record Linkage and Causal Inference with Propensity Score
  Subclassification   We develop methodology for causal inference in observational studies when
using propensity score subclassification on data constructed with probabilistic
record linkage techniques. We focus on scenarios where covariates and binary
treatment assignments are in one file and outcomes are in another file, and the
goal is to estimate an additive treatment effect by merging the files. We
assume that the files can be linked using variables common to both files, e.g.,
names or birth dates, but that links are subject to errors, e.g., due to
reporting errors in the linking variables. We develop methodology for cases
where such reporting errors are independent of the other variables on the
files. We describe conceptually how linkage errors can affect causal estimates
in subclassification contexts. We also present and evaluate several algorithms
for deciding which record pairs to use in estimation of causal effects. Using
simulation studies, we demonstrate that some of the procedures can result in
improved accuracy in estimates of treatment effects from linked data compared
to using only cases known to be true links.
