) matching estimates of Active Labor Market Policies (ALMPs) based on the selection-on-observables assumption are to typically … confounders.

This paper uses the control function to develop a framework for testing for selection bias. The idea behind our … framework is if the usual assumptions hold for matching or IV estimators, the control function identifies the presence and … magnitude of potential selection bias. Averaging this correction term with respect to appropriate weights yields the degree of …
