Matching methods
Abstract
Matching is a quantitative method for ex-post evaluation in which, in the absence of direct experimentation, a counterfactual situation is reconstructed by comparing the situations of beneficiaries of an intervention with those of non-beneficiaries with very similar characteristics. This method is particularly useful for evaluating the impact of a programme on a whole population, when sufficiently precise data exist to compare beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries.
