Description
Hi,
For the experiment provided for the metalearners in this file https://github.com/py-why/EconML/blob/main/notebooks/Metalearners%20Examples.ipynb
in section 1.1, "We use the data generating process (DGP) from Kunzel et al."
Hmm....is that true? That's not the data generating process I think I'm seeing...is it possible you're referring to an old version of the paper or have adjusted the experiment somehow? Or, if I'm wrong, would be a huge help if you can refer me to the right section of the paper. Thanks!

Research direction
Start with section 1.1 of notebooks/Metalearners Examples.ipynb and compare its stated data-generating process with the relevant section of the Kunzel et al. paper linked in the issue. Determine whether the experiment follows that paper or an adjusted version; done means the notebook citation or explanation accurately resolves the discrepancy.
