With a strong focus on practical applications, the authors explore various types of data and evaluation problems related to, strategies for employing, and the limitations of PSA. Unlike the existing textbooks on program evaluation, Propensity Score Analysis delves into statistical concepts, formulas, and models underlying the application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents key information on model derivations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummarizes complex statistical arguments but omits their proofs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinks each method found in this book to specific Stata programs and provides empirical examples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuides readers using two conceptual frameworks: the Neyman-Rubin counterfactual framework and the Heckman econometric model of causality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains examples representing real challenges commonly found in social behavioral research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUtilizes data simulation and Monte Carlo studies to illustrate key points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents descriptions of new statistical approaches necessary for understanding the four evaluation methods incorporated throughout the text\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntended Audience\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis text is appropriate for graduate and doctoral students taking Evaluation, Quantitative Methods, Survey Research, and Research Design courses across business, social work, public policy, psychology, sociology, and health\/medicine disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SAGE Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043892150512,"sku":"9781412953566","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781412953566_p0.jpg?v=1763726450","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781412953566","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
