Sharp Bounds of the Causal Effect Under MNAR Confounding

Jose M. Peña

We report bounds for any contrast between the probabilities of the counterfactual outcome under exposure and non-exposure when the confounders are missing not at random. We assume that the missingness mechanism is outcome-independent, and prove that our bounds are arbitrarily sharp, i.e., practically attainable or logically possible.
