Summary of analyses predicting years of completed education

Method Difference (TxControl): Average Treatment Effect 95 % Confidence Interval: Lower Bound 95 % Confidence Interval: Upper Bound N (Control vs. Tx)
OLS −0.98*** (0.10) −1.18 −0.78 NC = 6,980
NTx = 890
Propensity Score Matching −0.93*** (0.09) −1.11 −0.75 NC = 6,849
NTx = 890
Parametric Maximum Likelihood −1.87*** (0.23) −2.33 −1.41 NC = 6,980
NTx = 890
Semiparametric Maximum Likelihood −0.70* (0.31) −1.32 −0.08 NC = 6,980
NTx = 890

Note: Propensity score matching results indicate matches based on 1 % caliper radius method.
