Providing domain expertise on where matching is used in workforce policy
Testing the implementation on real use cases
Writing the notebook (would need guidance on KASS standards)
Reviewing methodology
Additional Context
Matching methods are workhorses of applied program evaluation, especially in:
Labor economics (training program evaluation)
Education (school choice, intervention programs)
Healthcare (treatment effectiveness studies)
Having a rigorous, well-documented implementation would be hugely valuable for practitioners who need these methods but want to ensure they're applying them correctly.
Thoughts from maintainers or community on priority and approach?

A matching methods notebook covering:
Core methods:
Diagnostic toolkit:
Implementation decisions:
Use Cases
This would be valuable for:
Alternatives Considered
Could adapt the heterogeneous treatment effects notebook (11-HTE) since it uses propensity scores, but:
