Evaluating Training

Chapter Chapter 11 in An Introduction to R for Quantitative Economics, 2015, pp 75-83 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract We see how matching helps us compare treatment with control groups to evaluate whether a training programme increases earnings. We examine the Lalonde dataset which is included in the MatchIt package in R. We use the MatchIt package to match the treated and control units. We then compare treatment and control groups.
