9321048 Heckman This project has four interrelated objectives: (1) To complete an evaluation of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) begun under the previous NSF grant. The project studies the self-selection bias (if any) that characterizes the differences in earnings, employment and wages between participants and non-participants with an eye toward developing rigorously, economically motivated program evaluation strategies using readily available non- experimental data. (2) The study exploits unique data to develop empirically-based models of incentives in organizations and the responses of organizations to externally mandated performance standards. This portion of the project provides new information on the economics of bureaucracies and the responses of program managers to incentives. (3) The study develops and applies econometric methods for estimating dynamic models of choices among alternative possibilities, and the rewards from these choices. (4) The study considers the empirical, economic and econometric foundations of the case for social experiments. Both theoretical and empirical studies will be conducted on the benefits and limitations of social experiments. The responses of training centers to randomization will be investigated. One goal of the project is to produce a book on the rigorous evaluation of social programs with an emphasis on manpower training programs.

小行星9321048 该项目有四个相互关联的目标：（1）完成对工作培训伙伴关系法（JTPA）的评估，该评估是在以前的NSF赠款下开始的。 该项目研究自我选择偏见（如果有的话），参与者和非参与者之间的收入，就业和工资的差异的特点，着眼于开发严格的，经济动机的计划评估战略，使用现成的非实验数据。 (2)该研究利用独特的数据，开发基于经验的模型，激励组织和组织的反应，以外部规定的绩效标准。 本专题的这一部分提供了有关官僚机构的经济学和项目经理对激励措施的反应的新信息。(3)这项研究开发和应用计量经济学方法来估计动态模型的选择之间的替代可能性，并从这些选择的回报。(4)这项研究认为，经验，经济和计量经济学基础的情况下，社会实验。 将对社会实验的益处和局限性进行理论和实证研究。 将调查培训中心对随机化的反应。 该项目的一个目标是编写一本关于严格评估社会方案的书，重点是人力培训方案。
