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...

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...

The Impact of Effect Size Heterogeneity on Meta-Analysis: A Monte Carlo Experiment

Koetse, Mark J.; Florax, Raymond J.G.M.; de Groot, … - 2007

In this paper we use Monte Carlo simulation to investigate the impact of effect size heterogeneity on the results of a meta-analysis. Specifically, we address the small sample behaviour of the OLS, the fixed effects regression and the mixed effects meta-estimators under three alternative...
