Econometric Evaluation of Socio-Economic Programs

Theory and Applications

Beschreibung

This book provides advanced theoretical and applied tools for the implementation of modern micro-econometric techniques in evidence-based program evaluation for the social sciences. The author presents a comprehensive toolbox for designing rigorous and effective ex-post program evaluation using the statistical software package Stata. For each method, a statistical presentation is developed, followed by a practical estimation of the treatment effects. By using both real and simulated data, readers will become familiar with evaluation techniques, such as regression-adjustment, matching, difference-in-differences, instrumental-variables and regression-discontinuity-design and are given practical guidelines for selecting and applying suitable methods for specific policy contexts.

Dr. Giovanni Cerulli is a Senior Researcher at the CNR-IRCrES, Research Institute on Sustainable Economic Growth, National Research Council of Italy in Rome. His research interests are in applied econometrics, with a special focus on causal inference and machine learning. He has developed original causal inference models, such as dose-response and treatment models with social interaction, and has carried out many Stata commands for causal inference and machine learning. He has published articles in several high-quality scientific journals, and a book: Econometric Evaluation of Socio-Economic Programs: Theory and Applications.

Rezensionen

"This book gives a comprehensive account of micro-econometric techniques for such evidence-based programme evaluation in the social sciences. ... gives an up-to-date account of the subject and a comprehensive description of each technique, covering both theoretical aspects and issues of application such as model checking, accuracy and reliability of results, and computation including related software. ... book is well written and clearly arranged and can be recommended to all statisticians with an interest in programme evaluation in the social sciences." (Peter Hackl, Statistics Papers, Vol. 57, 2016)
