Does anyone have any readings about evaluating the quality of matches when using a matching approach to causal inference (ideally k-nearest neighbor w/ Mahalonobis distance, not PSM)? How to double-check that your matching is at least somewhat adequately accounting for confounders that go along with self-selection into the treatment? #causalinference #impactevaluation #statistics

BONUS for some kind of placebo test - match a subset of the control pop. (a "pseudo-treatment") to other controls.

For anyone that missed Ghassan's contribution to the #CEDIL23 Conference on 'Evaluations in humanitarian contexts: developing innovative and collaborative strategies', you can still watch the full session:

We’re very excited to announce Ghassan (Director of our Welfare Research Program) will be speaking at this year’s CEDIL Conference!

Building on our FAO #ImpactEvaluation in #Syria, Ghassan will speak about how we developed unique approaches to account for the ongoing crisis in our study.

Register for ‘Evaluations in humanitarian contexts: developing innovative and collaborative strategies’ (24.02. 1pm CET) here:

If you are #teaching #economics to undergraduates, what is the best available *non-technical* summary of the different common methods of #ImpactEvaluation?

They are all quite intuitive at their core: randomization, differences-in-differences, policy discontinuity, matching… even instrumental variables.

What concise document explains how they work, using diagrams instead of math?

Our training on how to conduct impact evaluations in conflict settings will now take place on 14 / 15 / 16 March!

If you have already registered, your registration is still valid. If not, check out all the details at http://bit.ly/RIE-Training 👈
