Meeting Miguel 2024-02-09

achieved:

  • remaining study batch screened

    • added active labour market policy studies
    • starting to wrangle synthesis:
      • better categorization for some and did dual categorizations, e.g. job search assistance or subsidized employment/wages partly into ALMP
      • Moved away again a little from strict framework adherence to make more sense for the synthesis -> workfware programmes
  • focus now:

    • table reviewing main findings
    • screen the remaining 200 studies
    • improve the writing on the synthesis itself
      • to adhere a little closer to
  • questions:

    • logistical:
      • create extraction matrices with main/statistical findings
        • are we going to put those in the main Appendix? or do we just pass on the CSV extraction as the data?
      • is there a specific length I am going for for the end result?
      • is it fine if for now I leave intro/conclusion more vague to fit in with rest of the document
    • writing:
      • categories overlap sometimes, of course
        • a study on NREGS in India which has minimum wage effects as primary channel
        • a study on vocational training which fuses it with workfare program (ALMP)
      • I would put the focus on 'per-area' conclusions, not the 'per-study'
    • validity visualizations
      • built a simple scoring rubric of 0-not fulfilled, 1-implicitly fulfilled, 2-explicitly fulfilled
      • internal: (design + method) - (selection bias + measurement bias + confounding bias + performance bias)
      • external: (representativeness) - (generalizability concerns + population invalidity + ecological invalidity)
      • internal:
        • design (observational/qualitative, correlational, causal(quasi-experimental/experimental))
        • confounding variable control (no mention, limits mentioned, limits mentioned and explicitly discussed)
        • data collection (not mentioned, sources mentioned, sources/sample size/observation-length given)
        • statistical control (no robustness checks, data robustness mentioned, explicit robustness checks)
        • biases (no mention, possible biases mentioned, explicitly controlled for/influcence explained)
      • external:
        • generalizability (no mention, implicitly generalizable, explicitly generalizable)
        • representativeness of sample (no mention/sub-national, national, regional/global)
        • ecological validity (no mention, implicit policy implication, explicit policy implication)
  • TODO

    • main findings table still remaining
    • write it out
    • shorten?
