Policy-Relevant Treatment Effects
Accounting for individual-level heterogeneity in the response to treatment is a major development in the econometric literature on program evaluation. A substantial body of empirical evidence demonstrates that econometric models fit on individual-level data manifest heterogeneity in treatment effects that is present even after conditioning on observables. An important distinction is the one bet...
متن کاملThe Relationship Between the Daily and Policy-Relevant Liquidity Effects
The phrase “liquidity effect” was introduced by Milton Friedman (1969) to describe the first of three effects on interest rates caused by an exogenous change in the money supply. The lack of empirical support for the liquidity effect using monthly and quarterly monetary and reserve aggregates data led Hamilton (1997) to suggest that more convincing evidence of the liquidity effect could be obta...
متن کاملThe case for policy-relevant conservation science
Drawing on the "evidence-based" (Sutherland et al. 2013) versus "evidence-informed" debate (Adams & Sandbrook 2013), which has become prominent in conservation science, I argue that science can be influential if it holds a dual reference (Lentsch & Weingart 2011) that contributes to the needs of policy makers whilst maintaining technical rigor. In line with such a strategy, conservation scienti...
متن کاملToward Policy-Relevant Benchmarks for Interpreting Effect Sizes: Combining Effects with Costs
The common reporting of effect sizes has been an important advance in education research in recent years. However, the benchmarks used to interpret the size of these effects—as small, medium, and large—do little to inform educational administration and policymaking because they do not account for program costs. I propose an approach to establishing cost-effectiveness benchmarks rooted in an exp...
متن کاملDirect Policy Search and Uncertain Policy Evaluation
Reinforcement learning based on direct search in policy space requires few assumptions about the environment. Hence it is applicable in certain situations where most traditional reinforcement learning algorithms based on dynamic programming are not, especially in partially observable, deterministic worlds. In realistic settings, however, reliable policy evaluations are complicated by numerous s...
