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. …

We extend the standard evaluation framework to allow for interactions between individuals within segmented markets. An …

justifies the application of a matching estimator but also allows to take account of threefold heterogeneity. The recently …

A large part of the recent literature on program evaluation has focused on estimation of the average effect of the …

This paper investigates the method of matching regarding two crucial implementation choices, the distance measure and … the type of algorithm. We implement optimal full matching - a fully efficient algorithm - and present a framework for … that decisions regarding the matching algorithm depend on the structure of the data: In the case of strong selection into …

focus on microeconometric evaluation which has to solve the fundamental evaluation problem and overcome the possible … occurrence of selection bias. When using non-experimental data, different evaluation approaches can be thought of. The aim of … major topic in evaluation research in recent years, we will also assess the ability of each estimator to deal with it …

Propensity score matching is a prominent strategy to reduce imbalance in observational studies. However, if imbalance …
