Peter Schochet is a nationally known methodological expert in experimental and nonexperimental evaluations of interventions in education, employment, and welfare.
Schochet, who has been with Mathematica since 1991, has played a leading role in many large-scale studies of programs such as Job Corps, Early Reading First, Early Head Start, Trade Adjustment Assistance, the Workforce Investment Act, and others. He is currently serving as a principal investigator for a project funded by the U.S. Department of Education to provide methodological expertise on design issues for impact evaluations of educational interventions and programs, and several large-scale evaluations of major employment and training programs for the U.S. Department of Labor.
Schochet, who publishes frequently in peer-reviewed journals such as the American Economic Review, Evaluation Review, the Journal of Policy Analysis Management, the Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, and the Journal of Human Resources, has presented at many professional conferences and briefings and lectured on evaluation design at Columbia University and other venues. He has a Ph.D. in economics from Yale University.
The policy and research communities must seize opportunities for research to be used on a broader scale—by putting the power of evidence directly in the hands of those who can put it into action to improve our society. This is why I’m excited about the launch of our new software tool, RCT-YES.
