Summary

A concise, introductory text on propensity score methods that is easy to comprehend by those who have a limited background in statistics, and is practical enough for researchers to quickly generalize and apply the methods.

Propensity Score Methods and Applications Summary

Propensity Score Methods and Applications by Haiyan Bai

A concise, introductory text, Propensity Score Methods and Applications describes propensity score methods (PSM) and how they are used to balance the distributions of observed covariates between treatment conditions as a means to reduce selection bias. This new QASS title specifically focuses on the procedures of implementing PSM for research in social sciences, instead of merely demonstrating the effectiveness of the method.

Using succinct and approachable language to introduce the basic concepts of PSM, authors Haiyan Bai and M. H. Clark present basic concepts, assumptions, procedures, available software packages, and step-by-step examples for implementing PSM using real-world data, with exercises at the end of each chapter allowing readers to replicate examples on their own.

Propensity Score Methods and Applications Reviews

Haiyan Bai and M.H. Clark have delivered a readable and easily applicable guide for eager researchers with data-in-hand, chomping at the bit to determine whether and how their empirical challenges might be addressed through the careful application of propensity score methods. -- Adam Seth Litwin
This volume provides a thorough introduction to propensity score methods while taking care to not overwhelm the reader with dense mathematics. Simple examples, straightforward language, and a catalog of software options make this a fine primer for researchers seeking to incorporate propensity score methods into their own research plans, and an excellent desk reference. -- Christopher Michael Sedelmaier
This book contains excellent descriptions of propensity score matching with practical examples and clear guides using different software programs. -- Mido Chang
