Weighting Regressions by Propensity Scores

Freedman, David A.; Berk, Richard A. - In: Evaluation Review 32 (2008) 4, pp. 392-409

Regressions can be weighted by propensity scores in order to reduce bias. However, weighting is likely to increase random error in the estimates, and to bias the estimated standard errors downward, even when selection mechanisms are well understood. Moreover, in some cases, weighting will...
