A Brief Guide to Decisions at Each Step of the Propensity Score Matching Process
Harris, Heather; Horst, S. Jeanne
Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, v21 n4 Feb 2016
Propensity score matching techniques are becoming increasingly common as they afford applied practitioners the ability to account for systematic bias related to self-selection. However, "best practices" for implementing these techniques in applied settings is scattered throughout the literature. The current article aims to provide a brief overview of important considerations at each step of the propensity score matching process. Our hope is that this article will serve as a resource to assessment practitioners and augment previously published papers.
