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. …

Propensity score matching is widely used in treatment evaluation to estimate average treatment effects. Nevertheless …

heterogeneity in educational decisions, several empirical specifications including propensity score matching are tested. The results …

Matching estimators are widely used in statistical data analysis. However, the distribution of matching estimators has … matching estimators. This representation allows the use of martingale limit theorems to derive the asymptotic distribution of … matching estimators. As an illustration of the applicability of the theory, we derive the asymptotic distribution of a matching …

This paper discusses the evaluation problem using observational data when the timing of treatment is an outcome of a … suggest easy-to-use nonparametric survival function matching estimators. These estimators can be used to estimate the time …

The matching method for treatment evaluation does not balance selective unobserved differences between treated and non …, provide a natural application. In an empirical analysis, we first examine the performance of matching versus regression …, where compliance is imperfect among the young. Adjusting the matching estimator for selectivity changes the results towards …
