"...leads to a forthcoming paper in Statistical Science"


I can already download the paper, and it does feature a section about
"Matching software for Stata", as well as "Matching software" for Some
Alternative Software...

I am trying to use the Abadie/Imbens (2002) estimator that one can
obtain with "nnmatch". Can somebody provide some intuition on the
difference between Average Treatment Effect (ATE) and Average
Treatment Effect on the Threated? In prticular, what does it mean that
in the case of the ATE "all observations are matched to their nearest
m neighbors of the opposite treatment group" (from help nnmatch)? Why
would one want to match the firms in the control group?
