The author presents a robust toolbox for designing rigorous and effective ex-post program evaluation using the statistical software package Stata. For each method, a statistical presentation is developed, followed by a practical estimation of the treatment effects. By utilizing both real and simulated data, readers will gain familiarity with evaluation techniques such as regression adjustment, matching, difference-in-differences, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity design, and synthetic control method, along with practical guidelines for selecting and applying suitable methods for specific policy contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe second revised and extended edition boasts two new chapters on recent developments in difference-in-differences. Chapter 5 introduces advanced difference-in-differences methods when multiple time points are available, and treatment can be either time-varying or fixed at a specific time. Chapter 6 introduces the synthetic control method, a treatment effect estimation approach suitable when only one unit is treated. Both chapters present applications using the software Stata.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners interested in applying advanced statistical methods to evaluate social programs and policies. Its comprehensive coverage of methods, practical examples, and software applications make it an essential tool for anyone seeking to enhance their understanding and effectiveness of program evaluation in the social sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 758g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783662659441\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2nd ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giovanni Cerulli","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44249555075322,"sku":"9783662659441","price":83.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_cb78f3c3-eb62-41f9-b51b-080e2fb6dbb7.jpg?v=1684840859","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/econometric-evaluation-of-socioeconomic-programs-theory-and-applications-9783662659441","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
