Visual inference and graphical representation in regression discontinuity designs
Korting, Christina; Lieberman, Carl; Matsudaira, Jordan D. - 2021
Despite the widespread use of graphs in empirical research, little is known about readers' ability to process the statistical information they are meant to convey ("visual inference"). We study visual inference within the context of regression discontinuity (RD) designs by measuring how...

Some practical guidance for the implementation of propensity score matching
Caliendo, Marco (contributor); Kopeinig, Sabine (contributor) - 2005
Propensity Score Matching (PSM) has become a popular approach to estimate causal treatment effects. It is widely … decision has to be made concerning the estimation of the propensity score. Following that one has to decide which matching … algorithm to choose and determine the region of common support. Subsequently, the matching quality has to be assessed and …

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...
