Excerpt

This paper reviews the basic principles underlying the identification of conventional econometric evaluation estimators for causal effects and their recent extensions. Heckman (2008) discusses the econometric approach to causality and compares it to conventional statistical approaches. This paper considers alternative methods for identifying causal models. …
