Resumen:
We derive the variance of the Hirano, Imbens and Ridder (Econometrica 66, 315--31, 2003) average treatment effects estimator when the true propensity score is known. This variance is used in the derivation of the variance of a similar two-step estimator, where a M-estimator is used in the first step to estimate the propensity score.
