  For ordinal outcomes, the average treatment effect is often ill-defined and
hard to interpret. Echoing Agresti and Kateri (2017), we argue that the
relative treatment effect can be a useful measure especially for ordinal
outcomes, which is defined as $\gamma = \mathrm{pr}\{ Y_i(1) > Y_i(0) \} -
\mathrm{pr}\{ Y_i(1) < Y_i(0) \}$, with $Y_i(1)$ and $Y_i(0)$ being the
potential outcomes of unit $i$ under treatment and control, respectively. Given
the marginal distributions of the potential outcomes, we derive the sharp
bounds on $\gamma,$ which are identifiable parameters based on the observed
data. Agresti and Kateri (2017) focused on modeling strategies under the
assumption of independent potential outcomes, but we allow for arbitrary
dependence.
