The Effectiveness of Hiring Credits (2019, unknown): “They are frequently coupled with job search assistance programs, which makes it di¢ cult to distinguish their impact, as in Blundell et al. (2004).9 We also contribute to the literature which builds bridges between quasi-experimental or experimental data and structural estimation, i.e. Attanasio et…”

As a qualification, the post-treatment observation period in our study is rather limited, covering about”
Econometric Evaluation of Social Programs, Part I: Causal Models, Structural Models and Econometric Policy Evaluation (2007, methodology): “Embedded in general equilibrium models, they can also be used to evaluate the effects of changing the scale of existing policies or introducing new policies with substantial coverage [see, e.g., Heckman, Lochner and Taber (1998), Blundell et al. (2004)].”
Estimating dynamic treatment effects in event studies with heterogeneous treatment effects (2018, background): “(1998, 1997); Blundell et al. (2004); Abadie (2005); Chernozhukov et al. (2013)), but more closely related to the recent literature on the interpretation of two-way fixed-effects regressions when the timing of treatment varies.”
Market Externalities of Large Unemployment Insurance Extension Programs (2013, unknown): “Blundell et al. [2004] study the effect of a counselling program for young unemployed in the UK and find little evidence of displacement effects. Ferracci et al. [2010] study a program for young employed workers in France and find that the direct effect of the program is smaller in labor markets whe”
Evaluating the impact of investment incentives: The case of Italy's Law 488/1992☆ (2006, unknown): “should also be noted that ideally one would like to verify that the parallel trend assumption held over a long period (see Blundell et al [7]).”
Employment Consequences of Restrictive Permanent Contracts: Evidence from Spanish Labor Market Reforms (2002, unknown): “16 Blundell et al. (2004) also check for substitution effects by looking at the program impact in pathfinder areas and non-Pathfinder areas not initially exposed to the program.”
The Employment Effects of Low-Wage Subsidies (2010, unknown): “…recent evidence is available from Britain, where the so-called ‘New Deal’ system has led to modest improvements in the productivity of the target group (e.g. Blundell et al. 2004).7 8 As discussed in the introduction, an alternative to employer-based subsidies is to target the subsidy to employees.”
The Literacy Hour (2008, unknown): “This approach has similarities to the approach adopted in evaluations of recent UK area-level initiatives (such as the Educational Maintenance Allowance in Dearden et al. , 2003, and the New Deal in Blundell et al. , 2002).”
Fuzzy Differences-in-Differences (2015, unknown): “when the number of groups is large relative to their size, as is the case in Duflo (2001), is left for future work.”
