Abstract: Abstract This chapter deals with the estimation of average treatment effects (ATEs) under the assumption of selection on observables. In Sect. 1.3.1 , we provided a systematic account of the meaning and scope of such an assumption in program evaluation analysis. We argued that working under selection on observables basically means that all the relevant information about the true nonrandom selection-into-treatment process, producing the observed sets of treated and untreated observations, is known to the analyst. Hence, by assumption, we are ruling out any possible presence of loosely defined unobservables as hidden drivers of the selection process.
