Overview

The Jobs dataset by LaLonde [36] is a widely used benchmark in the causal inference community, where the treatment is job training and the outcomes are income and employment status after training. The dataset includes 8 covariates such as age, education, and previous earnings. Our goal is to predict unemployment, using the feature set of Dehejia and Wahba [37]. Following Shalit et al. [8], we combined the LaLonde experimental sample (297 treated, 425 control) with the PSID comparison group (2490 control).
