CESifo Working Paper No. 4074

This paper illustrates that the generalized propensity score method can easily be applied with multiple continuous endogenous treatment variables. Consistency proofs carry over straightforwardly to this general case, and the approach is shown to work well in finite samples with various data-generating processes and up to five continuous endogenous treatment variables.
