An optimization-based matching procedure.

This paper presents an alternative matching procedure and analyzes it is performance compared to other popular estimators. These tests show that the estimator performs comparably to the popular propensity score method.The proposed method involves the advantage of eliminating the in-convenience of an arbitrary common support determination problem,since it solves this problem objectively.
