MIB generalizes and extends in several new directions the only existing class, "Equal Percent Bias Reducing" (EPBR), which is designed to satisfy weaker properties and only in expectation. We also offer strategies to obtain specific members of the MIB class, and analyze in more detail a member of this class, called Coarsened Exact Matching, whose properties we analyze from this new perspective. We offer a variety of analytical results and numerical simulations that demonstrate how members of the MIB class can dramatically improve inferences relative to EPBR-based matching methods.

We find that donors give more, on average, to unidentified than to identified beneficiaries, since the latter are more likely to receive small donations than the former. Donations are the same, on average, to inand to out-group beneficiaries; however, an in-group recipient is more likely to receive a top or a very small donation than an out-group one, whereas the latter is more likely than the former to receive an intermediate donation. Both first-and second-order effects are associated to the Dynamic Identity Fusion Index elicited from participants toward the 'Multicultural world'.

Data matching is a typical statistical problem in non experimental and/or observational studies o... more Data matching is a typical statistical problem in non experimental and/or observational studies or, more generally, in cross-sectional studies in which one or more data sets are to be compared. Several methods are available in the literature, most of which based on a particular metric or on statistical models, either parametric or nonparametric. We present two methods to calculate a proximity which have the property of being invariant under monotonic transformations. These methods require at most the notion of ordering. We provide an open-source software in the form of a R package. The software is available at: https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/rrp/ See also: PORRO G., IACUS S.M (2008).

I dati esaminati sono relativi alla fase di decollo delle società interinali (1998-2000). Attraverso un modello econometrico viene analizzato l'impatto delle caratteristiche dell'offerta (demografiche e di capitale umano) sulla probabilit`a di ottenere un avviamento al lavoro temporaneo. Evidenziando la rilevanza di alcune variabili relative al capitale umano e all'esperienza professionale, lo studio fa emergere il ruolodella società di fornitura nel promuovere l'occupabilità dei candidati al lavoro interinale. Alcuni dati sulle dinamiche salariali - lungi dal costituire una compiuta analisi degli aspetti retributivi del fenomeno interinale - confermano tuttavia le intuizioni dell'analisi econometrica.
