What Works? A Meta Analysis of Recent Active Labor Market Program Evaluations (2015, unknown): “This concern led to a series of large scale experiments in the United States designed to test job training programs (Bloom et al. 1997; Schochet, Burghardt, and Glazerman 2001) and a large literature comparing experimental and nonexperimental estimates for the same program (e.g., Lalonde 1986;…”
Randomized experiments in criminology: What have we learned in the last two decades? (2005, background): “Schochet et al. (2001) studied the impact of BJob Corps[ (a program including basic education, vocational training, support services and job placement assistance) and found that it caused statistically significant reductions in the arrest rate.”
Partial Identification of Local Average Treatment Effects With an Invalid Instrument (2013, methodology): “Considering that a typical high school student receives the equivalent of 1080 hr of instruction during a school year (Schochet, Burghardt, and Glazerman 2001), obtaining a degree is equivalent to about 1.34 years of schooling.”
Testing exclusion restrictions and additive separability in sample selection models (2014, background): “This program targeted young individuals (aged 16–24 years) that had a legal residence in the U.S. and came from a low-income household, see Schochet et al. (2001) for further details.”
Fostering and Measuring Skills: Interventions that Improve Character and Cognition (2013, background): “About 90% of participants live at a residential facility throughout the program (Schochet et al., 2001). Early evaluations found that the program improved many outcomes including wages, welfare dependence, college attendance, health, and crime.(102) However, more recent evaluations report that gains”
IDENTIFYING CAUSAL MECHANISMS (PRIMARILY) BASED ON INVERSE PROBABILITY WEIGHTING (2014, background): “14 In particular, Schochet et al. (2001) report that the randomization of the program was successful: of 94 observed pre-treatment covariates, only five where statistically significantly different across treatment groups at the 5% level, which is what one would expect by chance.”
Estimating the Effects of Length of Exposure to Instruction in a Training Program: The Case of Job Corps (2012, methodology): “4 The NJCS experienced some nonresponse in the 48-month survey, for which the effective response rate was 79.9%.”
Direct and indirect treatment effects–causal chains and mediation analysis with instrumental variables (2014, methodology): “To illustrate estimation based on theorem 5, we consider a welfare policy experiment that was conducted in the 1990s to assess the US job corps programme; see Schochet et al. (2001, 2008).”
