Although a large-scale experiment can provide an estimate of the average causal impact for a program, the sample of … sites included in the experiment is often not drawn randomly from the inference population of interest. In this article, we … experiment and one or more inference populations on a set of selected covariates. The index takes values between 0 and 1 and …
