Selection bias in program impact evaluation research

  • Albert Tuijnman Stockholms universitet

Abstract

The article deals with methods of analysis to eliminate selection bias when estimating the effects of Adult Education programs. Adult students generally differ from nonparticipants in many ways. This causes methodological problems when estimating the effect that teaching has on individuals and society. The sources of error that may result from the operation of selection bias on study can not be ignored in research.
