Propensity score matching is widely used in treatment evaluation to estimate average treatment effects. Nevertheless …

This paper reviews the main identification and estimation strategies for microeconomic policy evaluation. Particular … nonparametric matching and weighting estimators of the average treatment effects and their properties are examined. …

Matching estimators are widely used in statistical data analysis. However, the distribution of matching estimators has … matching estimators. This representation allows the use of martingale limit theorems to derive the asymptotic distribution of … matching estimators. As an illustration of the applicability of the theory, we derive the asymptotic distribution of a matching …
