How to prove that
$$E(Y|D=1)=E(DY)/E(D)$$
and
$$E(Y|X,D=1)=E(DY|X)/E(D|X),$$
where $D$ is a binary variable and takes value of 0 and 1.

    This is not true, in general. Say, $Y=D$, $E(D|D=1)=1$, and the r.h.s. $E(D^2)/E(D)$ need not to be $1$.

  • Thank you for your comment. Sorry, I forgot to give the definition of $D$. $D$ is a binary variable which takes value of 0 and 1. So $D^2=D$, then $E(D^2)/E(D)=E(D)/E(D)=1$

First observe that $$mathbb E[D]=1cdot P(D=1)+0cdot P(D=0)=P(D=1)tag{1}$$
So, begin{align}mathbb E[YD]&=mathbb E[Ycdot 1mid D=1]P(D=1)+mathbb E[Ycdot 0mid D=0]P(D=0)\&overset{(1)}=mathbb E[Ymid D=1]mathbb E[D]+0end{align} and the result follows by rearranging terms and assuming that $P(D=1)>0$. Can you do the same for the $X$ part?

The unconditional case is shown as above. For the conditional case, first observe that
$$mathbb E[D|X]=1cdot P(D=1|X)+0cdot P(D=0|X)=P(D=1|X)tag{1}$$
So,
begin{align}mathbb E[YD|X]&=mathbb E[YD|X,D=1]cdot P(D=1|X)+mathbb E[YD|X,D=0]cdot P(D=0|X)\&overset{(1)}=mathbb E[Y| X, D=1]cdotmathbb E[D|X]end{align}
and the conditional equation follows by rearranging terms and assuming that $P(D=1|X)neq0$.
