Matching Methods for Observational and Experimental Causal Inference

We will discuss how to detect and ameliorate model dependence, where small, indefensible changes in model specification have large, perhaps unintended impacts on our conclusions. Easy-to-use matching methods for both observational and experimental data will be discussed.
