Quasi-Experimental Evaluations

Quasi-experimental evaluations in a project in which the participation of individuals is not by random selection, but occurs i) because it is the individuals themselves who choose to take part; ii) because an official agent takes this decision, or iii) both situations are combined. In quasi-experimental designs, the counterfactual scenario is defined by individuals who do not take part in the programme and who form a comparison group.
