Underadjustment Bias in the Evaluation of Manpower Training Evaluation Quarterly 3 (May 1979): 190-218 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Evaluations; Job Training; Research Methodology Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. A review of the literature suggests that choice of control group may have affected the results and policy implications of the major evaluations of governmental training programs. It is argued that the usual evaluation designs underadjust for preprogram differences between trainees and the control group and thus yield biased estimates of program impact. Attempts to statistically correct for such bias are presented and discussed. |

Underadjustment Bias in the Quasi-Experimental Evaluation of Manpower Training Ph.D. Dissertation, Northwestern University, 1974. DAI-A 35/10, p. 6303, Apr 1975 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA); Cost-Benefit Studies; Earnings; Evaluations; Manpower Programs; Research Methodology; Vocational Training This research deals with the methodology of evaluating manpower training programs. The emphasis is not upon the structuring of cost-benefit models but upon evaluation design. The common methods of evaluation produce biased results. This study recommends using true randomized experiments wherever possible. These experiments are far more feasible than is generally conceded. |
