  <dc:description xmlns:ns0="xml" ns0:lang="en">Sample selection and attrition are inherent in a range of treatment evaluation  problems such as the estimation of the returns to schooling or training. Conventional  estimators tackling selection bias typically rely on restrictive functional form  assumptions that are unlikely to hold in reality. This paper shows identification of  average and quantile treatment effects in the presence of the double selection  problem into (i) a selective subpopulation (e.g., working—selection on unobservables)  and (ii) a binary treatment (e.g., training—selection on observables) based on  weighting observations by the inverse of a nested propensity score that characterizes  either selection probability. Weighting estimators based on parametric propensity  score models are applied to female labor market data to estimate the returns to  education.</dc:description>
