Balancing Score Adjusted Targeted Minimum Loss-based Estimation

Lendle, Samuel David; Fireman, Bruce; van der Laan, Mark J. - In: Journal of Causal Inference 3 (2015) 2, pp. 139-155

Abstract Adjusting for a balancing score is sufficient for bias reduction when estimating causal effects including the … consistent for the true propensity score but converges to some other balancing score. We call this property the balancing score …) for a treatment-specific mean with the balancing score property that is additionally locally efficient and doubly robust …

Identification and Estimation of Causal Effects of Multiple Treatments Under the Conditional Independence Assumption

Lechner, Michael - 1999

The assumption that the assignment to treatments is ignorable conditional on attributes plays an important role in the applied statistic and econometric evaluation literature. Another term for it is conditional independence assumption. This paper discusses identification when there are more than...

Some practical issues in the evaluation of heterogeneous labour market programmes by matching methods

Lechner, Michael - EconWPA - 2005

Recently, several studies have analysed active labour market policies by using a recently proposed matching estimator for multiple programmes. Since there is only very limited practical experience with this estimator, this paper checks its sensitivity with resprect to issues that are of...

A Microeconometric Evaluation of Active Labour Market Policy in Switzerland

Gerfin, Michael; Lechner, Michael - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2001

In the second half of the 1990s Switzerland introduced an ambitious active labour market policy (ALMP) encompassing a variety of programmes. We evaluate the effects of these programmes on individual employment probability using unusually informative data originating from administrative records....
