This paper implements a method to identify and estimate treatment effects in a dynamic setting where treatments may occur at any point in time. By relating the standard matching approach to the timing-of-events approach, it demonstrates that effects of the treatment on the treated at a given...

[eng] This paper surveys recent developments in the literature on microeconometric evaluation methods. The canonical statistical model is the Rubin causal model , the assumptions of which are outlined in the paper. The model provides a suitable framework for defining and examining the...

In this paper we apply the statistical framework recently proposed by Imbens (1999) and Lechner (1999) to identify the causal effects of multiple treatments under the conditional independence assumption. We show that under this assumption, matching with respect to the ratio of the scores allows...
