New Evidence on the Effects of Job Creation Schemes in Germany - a Matching Approach with Threefold Heterogeneity
Hujer, Reinhard; Caliendo, Marco; Thomsen, Stephan L. - 2021
This paper evaluates the effects of job creation schemes on the participating individuals in Germany. Since previous empirical studies of these measures have been based on relatively small datasets and focussed on East Germany, this is the first study which allows to draw policy-relevant...

Model averaging in semiparametric estimation of treatment effects
Kitagawa, Toru; Muris, Chris - 2015
In the practice of program evaluation, choosing the covariates and the functional form of the propensity score is an important choice that the researchers make when estimating treatment effects. This paper proposes a data-driven way of averaging the estimators over the candidate specifications...
