This article proposes a randomization-based inference framework for regression adjustment in stratified randomized experiments. We re-establish, under mild conditions, the finite-population central limit theorem for a stratified experiment, and we prove that both the stratified difference-in-means estimator and the regression-adjusted average treatment effect estimator are consistent and asymptotically normal; the asymptotic variance of the latter is no greater and typically less than that of the former. We also provide conservative variance estimators that can be used to construct large-sample confidence intervals for the average treatment effect.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/biomet\/asaa038","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,29]],"date-time":"2020-04-29T15:36:18Z","timestamp":1588174578000},"page":"935-948","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["Regression-adjusted average treatment effect estimates in stratified randomized experiments"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"107","author":[{"given":"Hanzhong","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Statistical Science, Department of Industrial Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuehan","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Statistics and Mathematics, Central University of Finance and Economics, South Road, Beijing 100081, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020121116433804600_B1","first-page":"175","article-title":"Estimation of the conditional variance in paired experiments","volume":"91\/92","author":"Abadie,","year":"2008","journal-title":"Ann.
