R&D and Non-linear Productivity Growth (2016, methodology): “Before verifying whether the balancing property holds for the GPS adjusted data, we followed Becker et al. (2012) and imposed a common-support condition on the observed ranges of GPS values for observations in each treated group i with those belonging to the control groups j ̸= i. Observations…”

The influence of the local context on the implementation and impact of EU Cohesion Policy (2019, methodology): “…the causal effect (ATT) t of CP assistance on the performance of treated firms is estimated by: t = E[t(p)] = E[E[Y (1)− Y (0)]|T = 1, p] (3) Following Becker et al. (2012) and Bernini and Pellegrini (2011), the standard errors of the ATT are estimated using bootstrapping (1000 replications).”
