Abstract

In diesem Aufsatz werden Methoden zur Identifikation kausaler Effekte von staatlichen Eingriffen am Beispiel von Fortbildungs- und Umschulungsprogrammen vorgestellt und deren Implikationen und Voraussetzungen diskutiert. Desweiteren werden Eigenschaften jeweils in Frage kommender Schätzmethoden erörtert. Dadurch soll dieser Aufsatz eine Hilfestellung bei der Auswahl einer für das jeweilige Problem geeignete Evaluationsmethode geben.
