Impact of remittances on household income, asset and human capital: evidence from Sri Lanka (2012, methodology): “We use the latest matching estimators developed by (A. Abadie & Imbens, 2002; A. Abadie, Drukker, Herr, & Imbens, 2004) with and without correction for bias.”
Protecting Ecosystems and Alleviating Poverty with Parks and Reserves: ‘Win-Win’ or Tradeoffs? (2011, methodology): “We propose an estimator that uses regression-adjusted imputation methods (see Imbens 2004; Abadie et al. 2004; Imbens and Wooldridge 2009) and a general form matching-based variance estimator (Abadie and Imbens 2006; Imbens and Wooldridge 2009) to estimate subgroup effects in terms of ATT.”
The Impact of Ethiopia's Productive Safety Net Programme and its Linkages (2009, positive): “To confirm that the impact estimates using PSM are robust to estimation method, we also estimated impacts using nearest neighbour matching (NNM) following Abadie et al. (2004). Rather than relying on propensity scores, NNM is a form of covariate matching that uses a multidimensional metric of the di”
Coordinating and competing in ecosystems: How organizational forms shape new technology investments (2013, methodology): “Figures 3 and 4 plot the kernel densities of the propensity scores for treatment and control groups before and after 9 This was implemented in STATA 10.0 using the NNMATCH procedure provided by Abadie et al. (2004).”
Returns to spending on agricultural extension: the case of the National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS) program of Uganda† (2011, neutral): “Compared to the kernel matching, the nearest neighbor matching allows specification of sampling weights, where the nearest neighbors are chosen such that their summed weights are equal to or just exceed number of matches specified (Abadie et al., 2004).”
Some Practical Guidance for the Implementation of Propensity Score Matching (2008, background): “See Abadie and Imbens (2006a) and Abadie et al. (2004) for details about the derivation of the relevant formulas and some easy implementable examples.”
