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...

Sample Selection Bias as a Specification Error (with an Application to the Estimation of Labor Supply Functions)
Heckman, James J. - 2021
In this paper, I present a simple characterization of the sample selection bias problem that is also applicable to the … problem of sample selection bias is fit within the conventional specification error framework of Griliches and Theil. A simple … estimator is discussed that enables analysts to utilize ordinary regression methods to estimate models free of selection bias …
