Choosing Among Alternative Nonexperimental Methods for Estimating the Impact of Social Programs: the Case of Manpower Training
TL;DR: The value of simple specification tests in selecting an appropriate nonexperimental estimator is explored and a reanalysis of the National Supported Work Demonstration Data reveals that a simple testing procedure eliminates the range of nonexperiment estimators that are at variance with the experimental estimates of program impact.

Choosing among Alternative Nonexperimental Methods for Estimating the Impact of Social Programs: The Case of Manpower Training
James J. Heckman,V. Joseph Hotz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the value of simple specification tests in selecting an appropriate nonex-experiment estimator for a manpower training program and find that a simple testing procedure eliminates the range of nonexperimental estimators at variance with the experimental estimates of program impact.

Planning and studying improvement in patient care : The use of theoretical perspectives
TL;DR: It is demonstrated how different theories can be used to generate testable hypotheses regarding factors that influence the implementation of change, and it shows how different theoretical assumptions lead to different quality-improvement strategies.
