This document presents an overview of econometric tools recently developed for empirical ex post policy evaluation. The emphasis is laid on selection problems (how to disentangle the real effect of a policy from the personal features of the affected people), and on the practical issues of a polic...

A policy-capturing method of job evaluation, which involved the multiple regression weighting of numerical job analysis data obtained using the Position Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ), was used to predict compensation rates in two studies. In Study 1, compensation rates were derived and compared for 19...
Actor-Critic Methods 实际上是结合了 value-based methods 的 policy gradient。actor 是 policy update,而 critic 是 policy evaluation 或 value estimation。 1 The simplest actor-critic(QAC) 回顾强化学习基础第八节介绍的 policy gradient: 有一个目标函数J(θ)(可以是v¯π或r¯π),然后使用 gradient...
Program evaluation methods are widely applied in economics to assess the effects of policy interventions and other treatments of interest. In this article, we describe the main methodological frameworks of the econometrics of program evaluation. In the process, we delineate some of the directions along...
We consider the classical policy iteration method of dynamic programming (DP), where approximations and simulation are used to deal with the curse of dimensionality. We survey a number of issues: convergence and rate of convergence of approximate policy evaluation methods, singularity and susceptibility...
