Matching Estimators in the Age of Big Data: New Evidence on the Impacts of Workforce Training Programs
We re-examine the bias (effectiveness at replicating experimental estimates) of observational matching estimators for program effects using big administrative data. We find that both sample size and model complexity matter. Observational matching can work in big data because it permits estimation of high-dimensional non-parametric models that better capture selection. We apply our matching estimators in big data to assess the determinants of the effectiveness of U.S. workforce training programs.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
