Sequential Matching Estimation of Dynamic Causal Models
Lechner, Michael - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2004
This paper proposes sequential matching and inverse selection probability weighting to estimate dynamic causal effects …. The sequential matching estimators extend simple, matching estimators based on propensity scores for static causal … estimators perform well in small and medium size samples. Based on the application of the sequential matching estimators to an …

The microeconometric estimation of treatment effects: an overview
Caliendo, Marco; Hujer, Reinhard - 2005
The need to evaluate the performance of active labour market policies is not questioned any longer. Even though OECD countries spend significant shares of national resources on these measures, unemployment rates remain high or even increase. We focus on microeconometric evaluation which has to...

Knowing What Works The Case for Rigorous Program Evaluation
Schmidt, Christoph M. - 1999
Since interventions by the public sector generally commit substantial societal resources, the evaluation of effects and costs of policy interventions is imperative. This paper outlines why program evaluation should follow well-respected scientific standards and why it should be performed by...

Evaluating Environmental Programs: The Perspective of Modern Evaluation Research
Frondel, Manuel; Schmidt, Christoph M. - 2001
Large-scale environmental programs generally commit substantial societal resources, making the evaluation of their actual effects on the relevant outcomes imperative. As the example of the subsidization of energy-saving appliances illustrates, much of the applied environmental economics...
