A Dataset on Propensity Score Matching Papers, 1964-2014

A Dataset on Propensity Score Matching Papers, 1964-2014 This dataset provides bibliographic and methodological information on a random a sample sample of academic articles on propensity score matching. Each row corresponds to a single article and contains information such as the article’s DOI, title, authors, publication year, and a series of binary or categorical indicators describing the methods used or reported within the study. These indicators focus largely on propensity score matching (PSM), balance reporting practices, and other causal inference or evaluation techniques. The dataset is intended to help researchers quickly identify methodological characteristics of a set of studies, facilitate meta-analyses, and aid in reviews of methodological trends in applied economics, public policy, education research, and related fields. For relevant literature: King, Gary, and Richard Nielsen. "Why propensity scores should not be used for matching." Political Analysis 27, no. 4 (2019): 435-454.
