Beras untuk Keluarga Miskin (RASKIN) program has been applied since 1998 and has been renamed as Beras Sejahtera (RASTRA) in early 2017, but their effectiveness is still debatable. This study tries to evaluate the impact of RASKIN program on household income. Using data from 3,745 households in Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) 5 that has been estimated using propensity score matching, this study has identified precisely that RASKIN program has a negative and significant effect on household income. This happens because the benefits that reveived by Rumah Tangga Sasaran (RTS) are very small. The small benefit is affected by the amount of rice received, frequency and price that have been paid to get RASKIN is not in accordance with the guidelines. The result of this study is along with previous studies, where the amount and price of rice that distributed through RASKIN program is not exactly correct. Therefore, there must be a change in program format, not just renaming from RASKIN to RASTRA only.

<p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p><p>This study estimates the impact value of the VietGAP program when applied to vegetable production on the health of farmers in Thua Thien Hue province. By employing the propensity score matching (PSM) method, our findings show that the VietGAP program has a significant impact on farmers’ health. In particular, the program reduces farmers’ health problems due to pesticide exposure by 15.6 %, 22.9 %, 25.5 %, and 23.6 %, respectively, from four types of matching. This study provides evidence of the positive impacts of the VietGAP program on the health status of farmers in Thua Thien Hue province. It is therefore hoped that the production, consumption, and management solutions provided by the VietGAP program can encourage farmers to use environment-friendly agricultural practices.</p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>propensity score matching (PSM) method, VietGAP program, farmers’ health</p>

e23029 Background: With the aging society was coming, more elderly nasopharyngeal carcinoma NPC patients should be pay attention. However, no guideline is proposed for them due to lack of prospective clinical trials. We aimed to use propensity score matching method to evaluate the survival outcome and toxicity of the different treatment modalities for them. Methods: II-IV(UICC 8th) elderly NPC patients (≥65 years) were retrospectively enrolled between 2004 to 2016 in our center. All the patients received definitive IMRT, and were allocated into radiotherapy only (RT), concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed with CCRT (NACT). Cisplatin-based chemotherapy was used. Survival outcomes and toxicity were analyzed using propensity score-matching method. Results: There were 142 patients included, and the median age was 68 years. The median follow-up time was 47 months. 23 patients received RT only, 61 patients received CCRT and 58 patients received NACT. After matching for gender, age, T and N stage, chemotherapy and non-chemotherapy patients (22 pairs) were analyzed and shown the chemotherapy group had a better OS (86% vs 68%, p= 0.031). The 3-years LRFS, DMFS and DFS of chemotherapy and non-chemotherapy was 95% and 85% ( p= 0.251), 95% and 86% ( p= 0.307), 86% and 73% ( p= 0.309). Furthermore, 41 pairs who underwent chemotherapy were sub-analyzed according to different modalities. CCRT group showed a comparable 3-years LRFS (100% vs 94%, p= 0.143), DMFS (87% vs 89%, p= 0.608), DFS (81% vs 84%, p= 0.892) and OS (79% vs 66%, p= 0.080) with NACT. For acute toxicity, the incidence of G3-5 bone marrow suppression in non-chemotherapy was significantly lower than chemotherapy group (8.7% vs 36.4%, p= 0.31), and the incidence of G3-5 mucositis was similar ( p= 0.517). Besides that, there was no significant difference in the incidence of G3-5 bone marrow suppression and mucositis between CCRT and NACT group ( p= 0.824, p= 0.618). Conclusions: Chemoradiotherapy could improve the survival rate of the elderly NPC patients compared with radiotherapy only. The acute toxicity of CCRT and NACT was similar and acceptable. CCRT was still the standard treatment modality for them. As for the elderly NPC patients who are in good performance status and comorbidity conditions, NACT might be also worthy of recommendation.

This article examines the effects of inflation targeting (IT) policy on inflation and output performance. I employ the propensity score matching method for the sample of CEE countries from 1990 to 2010. The evidence suggests that the IT regime does not have a significant effect on the inflation level or the inflation volatility; however, the IT framework can help to increase GDP per capita. The effects on inflation indicators are inconsistent with previous studies. The results are robust to different methodologies.

This paper investigates the determinants of human capital investment in the form of formal training (off-the-job training) and estimates effects of this investment on productivity using Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method. We use data from a survey of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam (completed in 2010) with detailed information about training and several firm characteristics. Our estimates reveal that investment in human capital currently does not have the considerable contribution to the improvement in productivity of SMEs. This result does not support the universalistic perspective in strategic human resource management (SHRM) theoretical model

The Impact

The poverty alleviation microcredit policy is an important financial poverty alleviation policy that has been widely implemented in China in recent years. However, whether this policy can effectively increase the income of poor households is controversial. In order to measure the implementation effect of the policy, we analyzed the mechanism of the poverty alleviation microcredit on the income of poor households. Then, the paper used micro-survey data to conduct an empirical test using the propensity score matching method to study its effect on the production income of these poor households. The results show that the poverty alleviation microcredit positively affects the production income of poor households, including those who are poor due to lack of funds and poor households with female heads. Therefore, we should continue to implement the poverty alleviation microcredit policy, and establish relevant supporting measures, such as strengthening agricultural production capital subsidies, increasing agricultural production insurance, further improving the implementation efficiency of the poverty alleviation microcredit policy, and increasing the income of poor households.
