Dataset used by Dehejia and Wahba (1999) to evaluate propensity score matching.
data(lalonde)
A data frame with 445 observations on the following 12 variables.
Two demos are provided which use this dataset. The first,
DehejiaWahba
, replicates one of the models from Dehejia and
Wahba (1999). The second demo, AbadieImbens
, replicates the
models produced by Abadie and Imbens
http://elsa.berkeley.edu/~imbens/matlab/lalonde_exper_04feb2.m.
Many of these models are found to produce good balance for the Lalonde
data.
