The general aim of this paper is to review how matching methods try to solve the evaluation problem – with a particular … focus on propensity score matching – and their usefulness for the particular case of health programme evaluation. The … “classical” case of matching estimation with a single discrete treatment is presented as a basis for discussing recent …
