Propensity Score Methods and Applications: Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences

Autor Haiyan Bai, M. H. Clark
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 dec 2018
Using real-world data and exercises at the end of each chapter, this text focuses on the procedures for implementing propensity score methods for research in social sciences, instead of merely demonstrating the effectiveness of the method. Haiyan Bai and M. H. Clark cover the basic concepts, assumptions, procedures, available software packages and step-by-step examples for implementing PSM.

Recenzii

“Haiyan Bai and M.H. Clark have delivered a readable and easily applicable guide for eager researchers with data-in-hand, chomping at the bit to determine whether and how their empirical challenges might be addressed through the careful application of propensity score methods.”
“This volume provides a thorough introduction to propensity score methods while taking care to not overwhelm the reader with dense mathematics. Simple examples, straightforward language, and a catalog of software options make this a fine primer for researchers seeking to incorporate propensity score methods into their own research plans, and an excellent desk reference.”
“This book contains excellent descriptions of propensity score matching with practical examples and clear guides using different software programs.”
