The evidence-based evaluation of publicly funded socio-economic programs is increasingly widespread to support policymakers in future decision-making processes. Given the lack of public resources and the plenty of human activities to support (education, health, labor market etc.), it is difficult for policymakers to claim for additional resources in absence of certain and verifiable results deriving from previous policies. Therefore, in order to demonstrate to have made good use of public resources, governments and policymakers need good and practical information about the impact of certain policies on the ‘treated’ subjects, and the counterfactual methods are increasingly considered as very powerful tools for individuating the causal effect of a policy on a group or a class of subjects, by simulating the impact on the ‘potential outcome’ under the construction of a ‘quasi-experimental’ design.

Abstract
The evidence-based evaluation of publicly funded socio-economic programs is increasingly widespread to support policymakers in future decision-making processes. Given the lack of public resources and the plenty of human activities to support (education, health, labor market etc.), it is difficult for policymakers to claim for additional resources in absence of certain and verifiable results deriving from previous policies. Therefore, in order to demonstrate to have made good use of public resources, governments and policymakers need good and practical information about the impact of certain policies on the ‘treated’ subjects, and the counterfactual methods are increasingly considered as very powerful tools for individuating the causal effect of a policy on a group or a class of subjects, by simulating the impact on the ‘potential outcome’ under the construction of a ‘quasi-experimental’ design.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
