摘要

Propensity Score Matching (PSM) is the current popular method used to evaluate an impact of the programmes compared to other non-experimental methods. The method is the most widely used type of matching in which the comparison group is matched with the treatment group on the basis of a set of observed characteristics or by using the propensity score (PS). Although it has emerged as the most widely used method in measuring non-experimental design, it suffers from the debates. One of the major debates of PSM is its functional form. The paper intended to analyse the effects of weighted data in generating PS. The data were collected through the mixed approach as the data collected were both numerical and textural from five Tanzania regions namely: Kagera, Mwanza, Mara, Simiyu and Kigoma. PS was generated using the Logistic Regression (LR) model. The findings show that the weighted data slightly improves propensity scores than unweighted data. Basing on the findings, it can be concluded that the representative sample for the population produce better PS compared to unrepresentative samples. As the weighted data provides better PS compared to unweighted data, the efficiency of PSM is improved. For better results of an impact of the programme, the logistic regression model with the sample data which is representative of the population should be used.
