Managing Environmental Risk in Presence of Climate Change: The Role of Adaptation in the Nile Basin of Ethiopia (2014, background): “In addition, following Heckman et al. (2001), we calculate the effect of the treatment “to adapt” on the treated (TT) as the difference between (6a) and (6c), T T = E ( y1i | Ai = 1)− E ( y2i | Ai = 1) = x1i ( β1 − β2 ) + (σ1η − σ2η) λ1i , (7) which represents the effect of climate change…”

Price Knowledge in Household Demand for Utility Services (2005, methodology): “We also describe a “treatment effects” approach (Blundell and Costa Dias 2000; Heckman 2001; Heckman, Tobias, and Vytlacil 2001) to evaluate potential consumption responses to price knowledge.”
Copula-Based Approach to Accommodate Residential Self-Selection Effects in Travel Behavior Modeling (2009, background): “Heckman and Vytlacil, 2000 and Heckman et al., 2001 define a set of measures to study the influence of treatment, two important such measures being Average Treatment Effect (ATE) and the Effect of Treatment on the Treated (TT).”
