jpam-data-analysis

separate

Use when running and reporting the estimation for a Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript — program-evaluation estimates plus the cost-benefit and distributional analysis JPAM expects, with robustness, heterogeneity, and honest uncertainty. Guides analysis norms; it does not replace the identification design.

When to use

• Producing main estimates and robustness/heterogeneity suite
• Adding cost-benefit or distributional analysis
• Addressing reviewer questions on standard errors or robustness
• Translating effect size into decision-relevant quantities
• Reporting effects in policy-relevant units
• Conducting theory-driven heterogeneity analysis
• Calculating Marginal Value of Public Funds (MVPF)
• Analyzing fiscal externalities

When not to use

• Replacing the identification design
