Kristina Falbe,Austin Kureethara Manuel,Joseph L. Balloun

Abstract

Propensity score matching is a statistical technique in which a treatment case is matched with one or more control cases based on each case's propensity score. This matching can help strengthen causal arguments in quasi-experimental and observational studies by reducing selection bias. In this article we concentrate on how to conduct propensity score matching using an example from the field of education. Our goal is to provide information that will bring propensity score matching within the reach of research and evaluation practitioners.
