• Some practical issues in the evaluation of heterogeneous labour market programmes by matching methods (2002, background): “In particular Lechner (2000b) discusses several topics relevant for the implementation of the estimator.”
• What Works and for Whom: A Review of OECD Countries' Experiences with Active Labour Market Policies (2002, unknown): “It is also worth adding that a recent review of two major youth labour market programmes in Sweden by Larsson (2000) comes to similar negative conclusions about their effectiveness.”
• Programme Evaluation with Multiple Treatments (2004, background): “For the evaluation of sequential programmes see Lechner and Miquel (2002). (3)For an introduction to causal reasoning see Holland (1986) and, particularly, Pearl (2000).”
• Unemployed and their caseworkers: should they be friends or foes? (2010, unknown): “12 The available information is much richer than usually available in studies that rely on the conditional independence assumption (e.g. Heckman and Smith, 1999; Brodaty, Crépon and Fougère, 2001; Larsson, 2003; Dorsett, 2006).”
• Lost jobs, broken marriages (2004, methodology): “This method originates in statistics (Rosenbaum and Rubin, 1983, 1984) and has lately received increasing attention in economics (See Heckman et al., 1997; Dehejia and Wahba, 1999, 2002; Sianesi, 2001, 2002; Lechner, 2002a, b; Larsson, 2003 and Smith and Todd, 2004).”
• Sensitivity of Matching-Based Program Evaluations to the Availability of Control Variables (2013, background): “Although the rich content of these data, which varies somewhat from one country to 1 Among the many studies, see for example Dorsett (2006) for the UK, Larsson (2003) and Sianesi (2004) for Sweden, Gerfin and Lechner (2002) for Switzerland, Lechner, Miquel, and Wunsch (2010) for Germany, Jespersen, ”
• The Curse and Blessing of Training the Unemployed in a Changing Economy: The Case of East Germany After Unification (2007, unknown): “Although this is much more information than usually available in studies that rely on the CIA (e.g. Brodaty et al., 2001; Dorsett, 2006; Heckman and Smith, 1999; Larsson, 2003), there are some potentially important factors missing.”
• Program Heterogeneity and Propensity Score Matching: An Application to the Evaluation of Active Labor Market Policies (2002, background): “3 Brodaty, Crepon, and Fougère (2001) and Larsson (2000) are further application s based on this approach .”
• Costs and benefits of Danish active labour market programmes (2008, methodology): “Common to Raaum et al. (2002), Sianesi (2004), Larsson (2003), Gerfin and Lechner (2002), Lechner et al. (2005), and our study is that there is access to rich data sets, and the econometric approach used to estimate treatment effects is propensity score matching.”
• Demand-side vs. supply-side technology policies: Hidden treatment and new empirical evidence on the policy mix (2015, methodology): “To compute the propensity scores for this case we hence implement a multinomial logit model (Larsson, 2003; Brodaty et al., 2001) with eight alternatives.”
• Long-Run Effects of Public Sector Sponsored Training in West Germany (2011, methodology): “Here, we use an improved version of the estimator implemented by Gerfin and Lechner (2002), because it is simple, seems to perform reasonably well and appeared to be quite robust in different practical applications (e.g. Larsson, 2003; Gerfin, Lechner and Steiger, 2004).”
