[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...

Econometric evaluations of public-sponsored training programmes generally find little evidence of an impact of such policies on transition rates out of unemployment. We perform the first evaluation of training effects for the unemployed adults in France, exploiting a unique longitudinal dataset...

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...
