Matching and Difference in Difference (DID) are two widespread methods that use pre-treatment outcomes to correct for … values. I find that Matching generally underestimates the average causal effect of the program and gets closer to the true … still performs better than Matching, especially in the middle of the life-cycle. These results are consistent with estimates …

This paper compares matching and Difference-In-Difference matching (DID) when estimating the effect of a program on a … matching on past outcomes is not. Unfortunately, the consistency of both estimators relies on conditions that are at odds with … conditions severely bias both estimators. The behavior of matching is nevertheless less erratic: its bias generally decreases …
